Story Transcript:

Sl: V Tivoli parku v Ljubljani, kjer jesen barva drevesa v čudovite odtenke rdeče in zlate, se je trojica prijateljev, Maja, Borut in Tadej, odločila preživeti popoldne.
En: In Tivoli park in Ljubljana, where autumn colors the trees in beautiful shades of red and gold, a trio of friends, Maja, Borut, and Tadej, decided to spend the afternoon.

Sl: Listje je šuštelo pod njihovimi nogami, bele drevesne veverice so se podile med vejami, zrak pa je bil osvežujoče hladen.
En: Leaves rustled under their feet, white tree squirrels darted among the branches, and the air was refreshingly cold.

Sl: Maja je planila v smeh. "Poglejta tam, pri ribniku!" je zaklicala, obrnila se in pokazala na majhno ograjeno območje.
En: Maja burst into laughter. "Look over there, by the pond!" she shouted, turning and pointing to a small fenced area.

Sl: "Ribe zmaji, brez kril!" Borut se je ironično nasmehnil. "Maja, to so vendar žabe, ne pa zmaji!"
En: "Fish dragons, without wings!" Borut smiled ironically. "Maja, those are frogs, not dragons!"

Sl: Maja je dvignila obrv in se zagonetno nasmehnila. "Pokažem vama trik!" je rekla samozavestno.
En: Maja raised an eyebrow and smiled enigmatically. "I'll show you a trick!" she said confidently.

Sl: Pognala se je proti ribniku, kjer je mala tabla obvestila o prihajajoči žabji razstavi.
En: She rushed toward the pond, where a small sign announced an upcoming frog exhibition.

Sl: Našo živahno pritegnijo majhne zelene žabice, tam zaprte za ta posebni dogodek.
En: They were captivated by the small green frogs, enclosed for this special event.

Sl: Borut jo je skušal ustaviti s sarkastičnim dreganjem: "Samo ne spravi teh žabic v Tivoli kaos!"
En: Borut tried to stop her with a sarcastic nudge: "Just don't turn these frogs into Tivoli chaos!"

Sl: A Maja ni poslušala. Z rokami je nagnila ograjo, da bi bliže pogledala, in... vrata so se nenadoma odprla!
En: But Maja didn't listen. She leaned on the fence with her hands to get a closer look, and… the gate suddenly opened!

Sl: Žabe so zakvačile v svobodo! Kva-kva naokrog in noter se je slišalo, ko so zelene paske skakale na svežo travo.
En: The frogs hopped to freedom! "Ribbit-ribbit" echoed as the green hoppers jumped onto the fresh grass.

Sl: "Ups!" je vzkliknila Maja z obžalovanjem v očeh.
En: "Oops!" exclaimed Maja with regret in her eyes.

Sl: Tadej se je začel smejati, čeprav je bil videti nekoliko zmeden. "No, to je prvič, da se ukvarjamo s podivjanimi žabami. Kaj zdaj?"
En: Tadej started laughing, although he looked a bit puzzled. "Well, this is the first time we're dealing with runaway frogs. What now?"

Sl: Maja je dvignila roke v pripravljenosti. "Pomagajta mi!" je ukazala.
En: Maja raised her hands in readiness. "Help me!" she ordered.

Sl: Hitro so se razkropili in začeli zbirati žabe. Ena za drugo nazaj v ograjo. "Vilinsko kraljestvo, vodna bitja!" je medtem šalil Tadej in pomagal sprostiti napetost.
En: Quickly, they scattered and began gathering the frogs. One by one, back into the enclosure. "Fairy kingdom, water creatures!" joked Tadej in the meantime, helping to ease the tension.

Sl: Sredi te operacije ulova žab so se približali parkovni čuvaji. Borut je tiho zaklel. "Joj, zdaj smo zares v težavah."
En: In the middle of this frog-catching operation, park rangers approached. Borut quietly cursed. "Oh no, now we're really in trouble."

Sl: A...
