En: Mists were rising over jezero Bled and a thin fog gently covered the beautiful island with the church. Sl: Jesen je obarvala listje okoli jezera v odtenke rdeče, oranžne in rumene. En: Autumn had colored the leaves around the lake in shades of red, orange, and yellow. Sl: Mateja, Anže in Klemen so veselo prispeli k obali z načrti za dan, ki si ga bodo zapomnili. En: Mateja, Anže, and Klemen happily arrived at the shore with plans for a day they would remember. Sl: "Anže, bodi previden! En: "Anže, be careful!" Sl: " je zaklicala Mateja, ko je Anže veselo skočil v čoln, ki so ga najeli. En: shouted Mateja when Anže cheerfully jumped into the boat they had rented. Sl: S seboj je imela velik nahrbtnik, poln prigrizkov in potrebščin za vsak primer. En: She had with her a large backpack full of snacks and necessities just in case. Sl: Njen izraz skrbi je bil očiten, ko je Anže kot običajno ignoriral opozorila. En: Her expression of worry was evident as Anže, as usual, ignored the warnings. Sl: "Ne skrbi, Mateja! En: "Don't worry, Mateja!" Sl: " je rekel Anže s smehom. En: said Anže with laughter. Sl: "To bo zabavno! En: "This will be fun!" Sl: " Klemen, vedno pripravljen na šalo, je že razmišljal, kako bi popestril dan. En: Klemen, always ready for a joke, was already thinking about how to spice up the day. Sl: Ko so se odrinili, je Anže zagledal napihljivo raco na obali. En: As they set off, Anže spotted an inflatable duck on the shore. Sl: Plavalec, ki ga je pustil, ni vedel, da bo njegova gumijasta račka sprožila divjo dogodivščino. En: The swimmer who left it there didn't know that their rubber duck would trigger a wild adventure. Sl: "Čakaj, Anže, kaj delaš? En: "Wait, Anže, what are you doing?" Sl: " je vprašala Mateja z razumevajočo zaskrbljenostjo, ko je Anže pričel odvijati vrv, ki je držala račko ob bregu. En: Mateja asked with understanding concern as Anže began untying the rope that held the duck by the shore. Sl: "Hej, poglej to! En: "Hey, look at this!" Sl: " je rekel Anže in zasmijal se je. En: said Anže and laughed. Sl: Klemen je pokazal s prstom. En: Klemen pointed his finger. Sl: "Tam gre! En: "There it goes!" Sl: " se je zasmejal, ko je račka začela plavati po jezeru. En: he chuckled as the duck started floating on the lake. Sl: Oboje sta se zdela pripravljena za akcijo, a Mateja je bila čisto drugače. En: Both seemed ready for action, but Mateja felt quite different. Sl: Razbila je svoje načrte za umirjen izlet z vtisom idiličnih utrinkov otoka na jezeru. En: She broke her plans for a calm trip with the impression of idyllic glimpses of the island on the lake. Sl: Mateja je hitro prijela za vesla. En: Mateja quickly grabbed the oars. Sl: "Dajmo, moramo jo ujeti," je prisegala in začela veslati proti bežeči rački. En: "Come on, we have to catch it," she insisted and started rowing towards the fleeing duck. Sl: Valovi so rahlo zibali čoln, ko so se približevali raci. En: The waves gently rocked the boat as they approached the duck. Sl: Klemen pa je nenadoma dobil idejo, ki vedno pomeni težave. En: But Klemen suddenly got an idea, which always means trouble. Sl: Smehljal se je sebi v brado in je začel rahlo zibati čoln. En: He smiled to himself and began to gently rock the boat. Sl: "Ne zdaj, Klemen! En: "Not now, Klemen!" Sl: " je zavpila Mateja, ko je poskušala uravnati veslaj svojega že tako zahtevnega dela. En: shouted Mateja as she tried to balance her stroke, which was already challenging enough. Sl: Čoln se je močno zazibal, in v trenutku so bili blizu, da bi se prevrnili. En: The boat rocked hard, and for a moment they were close to capsizing. Sl: Smehu in kriku na jezeru je sledil trenutek zadržanega dihanja, ko je Mateja iztegnila roko in ujela raco. En: The laughter and shouting on the lake were followed by a moment of held breath when Mateja reached out her hand and caught the duck. Sl: Vsi so se smejali in jokali hkrati, prekriti z rahlo pršečo vodo, ki je padala z vesla. En: Everyone laughed and cried at the same time, covered with the light spray of water falling from the oar. Sl: Ko so se končno udobno namestili z raco na krovu, je Mateja pogledala prijatelja. En: Once they were finally comfortably seated with the duck on board, Mateja looked at her friends. Sl: "Mislim, da ste nori," se je smehljala, "ampak naj se zahvalim temu kaosu, ker je bil dan zelo zabaven. En: "I think you're crazy," she smiled, "but let me thank this chaos because today was very fun." Sl: "Vse tri prijatelje je grelo poljesensko sonce, ko so počasi veslali proti obali. En: The three friends were warmed by the late autumn sun as they slowly rowed towards the shore. Sl: Mateja se je z nasmehom
