En: Matej stood on the Zmajski most in Ljubljana. Sl: Sonce je sijalo, rože so cvetele. En: The sun was shining, flowers were blooming. Sl: Zvok turistov je bil povsod okoli njega. En: The sound of tourists was all around him. Sl: Držal je svojo novo drono v roki. En: He held his new drone in his hand. Sl: Njegovo srce je razbijalo od navdušenja. En: His heart was pounding with excitement. Sl: »Pozor, da ne narediš scene,« je rekla Ana, njegova prijateljica, in se smejala. En: "Be careful not to cause a scene," said Ana, his friend, laughing. Sl: Matej je bil znan po tem, da je bil malo neroden. En: Matej was known for being a bit clumsy. Sl: Matej je spustil drono. En: Matej let go of the drone. Sl: Zaletel se je naravnost proti velikemu, kovinskemu zmaju. En: It flew straight towards the big, metal dragon. Sl: Vsi so se ozrli, ko je drona obvisela v krilih zmaja. En: Everyone turned to look as the drone got stuck in the dragon's wings. Sl: »Ooops,« je rekel Matej in si prijel čelo. En: "Ooops," Matej said, holding his forehead. Sl: Primož, turist z aparatom okoli vratu, je stopil bližje. En: Primož, a tourist with a camera around his neck, stepped closer. Sl: »Ali ta tvoja drona zna plezati po zmaju? En: "Can your drone climb dragons?" Sl: « je vprašal smeje. En: he asked, laughing. Sl: Matej ga je pogledal, rahlo zaskrbljen. En: Matej looked at him, slightly worried. Sl: »Neee, to ni planirano,« je odgovoril. En: "Nooo, this wasn't planned," he replied. Sl: Ana se je naslonila na ograjo mostu. En: Ana leaned against the bridge's railing. Sl: »Matej, tvoja drona zdaj štrli iz zmaja kot okras,« je dodala sarkastično. En: "Matej, your drone now sticks out from the dragon like a decoration," she added sarcastically. Sl: Matej je razmišljal. En: Matej thought about it. Sl: »Mogoče bi moral plezati,« je rekel, toda nemudoma je videl policaja, ki se je bližal. En: "Maybe I should climb," he said, but immediately saw a policeman approaching. Sl: »Ne, to ni dobra ideja. En: "No, that's not a good idea." Sl: «V tistem trenutku je Primož že slikal selfije, z drono in zmajem v ozadju. En: At that moment, Primož was already taking selfies, with the drone and the dragon in the background. Sl: Matej je poizkusil z dolgo palico, ampak ni dosegel drona. En: Matej tried using a long pole, but he couldn't reach the drone. Sl: Ana mu je nesla svoj šal, ki ga je zavezal na palico, toda tudi to ni delovalo. En: Ana handed him her scarf, which he tied to the pole, but that didn't work either. Sl: Nenadoma je hrup narasel. En: Suddenly, the noise increased. Sl: Policisti so prišli. En: The police had arrived. Sl: »Kaj pa počnete? En: "What are you doing?" Sl: « so vprašali. En: they asked. Sl: Matej je bil rdeč kot paradižnik, medtem ko je Ana držala smeh. En: Matej was as red as a tomato, while Ana held back her laughter. Sl: Bilo je precej pestro, dokler se ni pojavil nekdo z lestvijo iz bližnje kavarne. En: Things were quite lively until someone appeared with a ladder from a nearby café. Sl: »Lahko pomagam? En: "Can I help?" Sl: « je vprašal, in Matej je komaj verjel svoji sreči. En: they asked, and Matej could hardly believe his luck. Sl: Z drono končno v rokah, se je Matej obrnil k množici in policajem. En: With the drone finally in his hands, Matej turned to the crowd and the policemen. Sl: Primož je še vedno slikal, tokrat s še večjim navdušenjem. En: Primož was still taking photos, now with even more enthusiasm. Sl: »Hvala, Primož,« je rekel Matej, misleč si, kako mu je uspelo iz na videz težavne situacije narediti pravo predstavo. En: "Thank you, Primož," Matej said, thinking about how he managed to turn a seemingly tricky situation into quite a spectacle. Sl: Matej se je nasmehnil in pomahal vsem zbranim. En: Matej smiled and waved at everyone gathered. Sl: »Obljubim, naslednjič bom bolj previden,« je rekel. En: "I promise, next time I'll be more careful," he said. Sl: Ana ga je trepljala po ramenih. En: Ana patted him on the shoulder. Sl: »Matej, brez tebe bi bilo v Ljubljani dolgočasno! En: "Matej, without you, Ljubljana would be boring!" Sl: «Matej se je iz te dogodivščine naučil, da se lahko iz vsake napake nekaj naučiš, predvsem pa, da je smeh najboljši odgovor. En: Matej learned from this adventure that you can learn something from every mistake, but most importantly, that laughter is the best response. Sl: S to mislijo se je odpravil domov, drona varen v svoji torbi, pripravljen za nove podvige. En: With this thought, he headed home, drone safe in his bag, ready for new adventures.
