En: Spring arrived in Ljubljana and the Botanični vrt awoke in all its beauty. Sl: Matej, Anja in Bojan so se tistega sončnega dne odločili, da ga obiščejo. En: Matej, Anja, and Bojan decided to visit it on that sunny day. Sl: Matej je imel rad naravo in še posebej rože. En: Matej loved nature, especially flowers. Sl: Rad je preživljal čas med rastlinami. En: He enjoyed spending time among the plants. Sl: Tisto jutro je bil posebej vznemirjen. En: That morning, he was particularly excited. Sl: "Zrak je poln vonjav," je dejala Anja, ko so hodili po potki, obkroženi s cvetočimi drevesi. En: "The air is full of scents," said Anja as they walked along the path surrounded by blooming trees. Sl: Bojan je hodil za njima in fotografiral raznobarvne cvetove. En: Bojan followed behind them, photographing the colorful blooms. Sl: Anja je vedno vedela, kako prepoznati rastline. En: Anja always knew how to identify plants. Sl: Matej je bil vesel, ker je imel tako dobra prijatelja. En: Matej was happy to have such good friends. Sl: Toda pod veselim zunanjim videzom, Matej ni bil popolnoma miren. En: But beneath his cheerful exterior, Matej was not completely at ease. Sl: V zadnjem času je opazil, da mu cvetni prah povzroča težave. En: Recently, he noticed that pollen was causing him problems. Sl: Ni vedel, kako povedati Anji in Bojanu, saj se je bal, da bo pokvaril dan. En: He didn't know how to tell Anja and Bojan, fearing it would ruin the day. Sl: Hripal je vase, ne da bi kdo opazil. En: He kept his discomfort to himself without anyone noticing. Sl: "Saj je tukaj čudovito," je rekel Bojan in se ustavil, da bi posnel še eno fotografijo. En: "It's so wonderful here," said Bojan, stopping to take another photo. Sl: Matej se je skušal nasmejati, a je začutil, kako ga začne srbeti v nosu. En: Matej tried to smile but felt an itch in his nose. Sl: Skok v grlu, polnila so se mu usta in vrtelo se mu je. En: His throat tightened, his mouth filled with saliva, and he felt dizzy. Sl: Ko so se približali najbolj cvetličnemu delu vrta, je Matej nenadoma kihnil. En: As they approached the most floral part of the garden, Matej suddenly sneezed. Sl: Njegovi prijatelji so se obrnili k njemu, a je še naprej trdil: "Vse je v redu. En: His friends turned towards him, but he kept insisting, "Everything is fine." Sl: " Vendar ni trajalo dolgo, preden ga je začela spet dušiti alergija. En: However, it didn't take long before his allergy started suffocating him again. Sl: Nepričakovano je zgrabil Anjino roko. En: Unexpectedly, he grabbed Anja's hand. Sl: V očeh je imel solze, komaj je dihal. En: His eyes were teary, and he was barely breathing. Sl: "Matej, kaj je narobe? En: "Matej, what's wrong?" Sl: " je vprašala Anja zaskrbljeno. En: Anja asked worriedly. Sl: "Mislim. En: "I think... Sl: da imam alergijo," je komaj izgovoril. En: I have an allergy," he barely managed to say. Sl: Anja se je hitro spomnila na svoje znanje o rastlinah. En: Anja quickly recalled her knowledge of plants. Sl: "Se spomniš tistega grma, Tam pri vhodu? En: "Remember that bush by the entrance? Sl: Ima liste, ki pomagajo pri alergijah. En: It has leaves that help with allergies. Sl: Počakaj tukaj. En: Wait here." Sl: "Anja je stekla nazaj in čez nekaj trenutkov prinesla nekaj zelenih listov. En: Anja ran back and returned a few moments later with some green leaves. Sl: "To je regratov čaj," je rekla, "žvečaj te liste. En: "This is dandelion tea," she said, "chew these leaves." Sl: " Matej je poslušal in že po nekaj minutah je začutil olajšanje. En: Matej listened, and after a few minutes, he felt relief. Sl: "Zdi se mi bolje," je rekel in obrisal oči. En: "I feel better," he said, wiping his eyes. Sl: "Hvala, Anja. En: "Thank you, Anja." Sl: ""Drugi dan bomo natančnejši," je pribil Bojan s polovičnim nasmeškom. En: "We'll be more careful next time," added Bojan with a half-smile. Sl: Matej je lažje zadihal in se zahvalil prijateljema. En: Matej breathed easier and thanked his friends. Sl: Dan so nadaljevali s pitjem čaja pod cvetočim drevesom. En: They continued their day by drinking tea under a blossoming tree. Sl: Kot so se pogovarjali o rastlinah, se je Matej zavedel, kako pomembno je zaupati prijateljem. En: As they chatted about plants, Matej realized how important it is to trust friends. Sl: Njegova skrb za rastline je bila velika, a danes je ugotovil, kako pomembno je tudi negovati prijateljstva. En: His care for plants was immense, but today he learned how crucial it is to nurture friendships as well. Sl: In tako so na koncu dneva odšli skozi vrt, bogatejši za eno izkušnjo. En: And so, at the end of the day, they left the garden richer with one more experience.
