Imao je veliku torbu.

He had a large bag.

Pratili su ga.

They followed him.

Put ih je odveo do starog akvedukta izvan zidina.

The path led them to an old aqueduct outside the city walls.

Ivan je tiho uzeo fotoaparat i snimio čovjeka.

Ivan quietly took his camera and photographed the man.

Marija je pažljivo prišla bliže.

Čovjek je otvorio torbu.

The man opened the bag.

Unutra je bila zlatna kutija.

Inside was the gold box.

Ana je brzo pozvala policiju.

Artefakt je spašen.

"Uspjeli smo!

"We did it!"

" viknula je Ana s osmijehom.

Ana shouted with a smile.

Ivan je uslikao trenutak sretan što je sve prošlo dobro.

Ivan photographed the moment, happy that everything had gone well.

Marija je odahnula.

Marija sighed with relief.

U nastavku su proveli dan uživajući u Dubrovniku.
