En: In Volčji Potok, a lovely village amidst autumn colors and scents, cheerful voices spread across the large pumpkin farm. Sl: Matej, Tadeja in Anže so se pripravljali na tekmovanje pri nabiranju buč, ki je bilo pravo vaško praznovanje ob noči čarovnic. En: Matej, Tadeja, and Anže were preparing for the pumpkin picking contest, which was a true village celebration on Halloween night. Sl: Matej je z očmi iskal največjo bučo, odločil se je, da bo letos končno zmagal. En: Matej was searching with his eyes for the largest pumpkin, determined that this year he would finally win. Sl: Medtem je Tadeja, z iskrivim pogledom in smehljajem, kovala načrte za rahel trik. En: Meanwhile, Tadeja, with a sparkling look and smile, was plotting a light prank. Sl: In Anže? En: And Anže? Sl: On je koscal po suhem listju, užival v svežem zraku in se veselil družbe prijateljev. En: He was rustling through the dry leaves, enjoying the fresh air and the company of friends. Sl: "Matej, tiste buče so prevelike! En: "Matej, those pumpkins are too big! Sl: Ne boš jih mogel nositi," se je šalila Tadeja, medtem ko je Matej že izbiral svojo največjo trofejo. En: You won't be able to carry them," teased Tadeja, while Matej was already choosing his largest trophy. Sl: A Matej je bil trmoglav. En: But Matej was stubborn. Sl: Velika buča bo njegova. En: The big pumpkin would be his. Sl: Medtem je Tadeja tiho skrivala nekaj večjih buč med bale sena. En: Meanwhile, Tadeja quietly hid some larger pumpkins among the hay bales. Sl: Ko je Matej končno našel svojo, jo je, nekoliko nerodno, dvignil in začel hoditi po grič. En: When Matej finally found his, he awkwardly lifted it and started walking up the hill. Sl: Buča je bila res enormna, kar je njegovo hojo delalo še bolj komično. En: The pumpkin was truly enormous, making his walk all the more comical. Sl: Anže, ki je opazoval dogajanje, je širil oči in se smejal: "Matej, pazi, da te buča ne povozi! En: Anže, observing the scene, widened his eyes and laughed: "Matej, watch out, or the pumpkin will roll over you!" Sl: "Vse se je spremenilo, ko je Tadeja, "naključno," naletela na Mateja. En: Everything changed when Tadeja "accidentally" bumped into Matej. Sl: Velika buča se je začela kot kotaliti po griču. En: The large pumpkin began to roll down the hill. Sl: Matej je tekel za njo, a buča je bila prehitra! En: Matej ran after it, but the pumpkin was too fast! Sl: Navsezadnje so se vsi trije dobrikali na dnu griča, kjer so bučo ujeli. En: In the end, all three of them ended up at the bottom of the hill, where they caught the pumpkin. Sl: Tadeja je med smehom spoznala, da njen načrt morda ni bil pravičen, a Matej se je kljub temu smejal skupaj z njima. En: Amidst laughter, Tadeja realized that her plan might not have been fair, but Matej was still laughing with them. Sl: "Niti velika buča, niti zmaga ni vredna tega, da izgubim trenutke z vama," je z nasmehom rekel Matej in dvignil manjšo bučo s tal. En: "Neither a big pumpkin nor winning is worth losing moments with you both," said Matej with a smile, picking up a smaller pumpkin from the ground. Sl: Tadeja in Anže sta prikimala, vedoč, da je to resnično najbolj pomembno. En: Tadeja and Anže nodded, knowing that this was truly the most important thing. Sl: Ob koncu dne so vsi zapustili bučno kmetijo. En: At the end of the day, they all left the pumpkin farm. Sl: Jesen je prinesla smeh, prijateljstvo in spoznanje, da so najbolj dragoceni trenutki tisti, ki jih preživimo skupaj. En: Autumn brought laughter, friendship, and the realization that the most precious moments are those we spend together. Sl: Matejeva velika buča je morda zbežala, a srce je ostalo polno. En: Matej's big pumpkin might have gotten away, but his heart remained full.
