U jesen, zlatno lišće padalo je po drvoredu ispred psihijatrijskog odjela.

In the fall, golden leaves fell along the tree-lined path in front of the psychiatric ward.

Unutra, atmosfera je bila drugačija.

Inside, the atmosphere was different.

Zidovi u blagim pastelnim bojama pokušavali su uliti smirenost, dok su kroz rešetkaste prozore sunčeve zrake sramežljivo ulazile.

The walls in soft pastel colors tried to instill calmness, while the sun’s rays timidly entered through barred windows.

Ivan je hodao hodnicima s velikim osmijehom na licu.

Ivan walked the corridors with a big smile on his face.

"Ovo je sjajno!

"This is great!"

" mislio je.

he thought.

"Prava prilika za timski rad!

"A true chance for teamwork!"

" U svojoj mašti, psihijatrijski odjel bio je mjesto za timske vježbe i zabavu.

In his imagination, the psychiatric ward was a place for team exercises and fun.

Njegov entuzijazam bio je zarazan, iako pomalo smetao drugima.

His enthusiasm was infectious, albeit a bit disturbing to others.

Htio je organizirati nešto što nikada prije nije bilo viđeno—konga liniju.

He wanted to organize something never seen before—a conga line.

Svi, od medicinskog osoblja do pacijenata, trebali su sudjelovati.

Everyone, from medical staff to patients, was supposed to participate.

Marija, jedna od medicinskih sestara, promatrala je Ivana.

Marija, one of the nurses, observed Ivan.

Bila je jasna i topla u svom pristupu, uvijek spremna pomoći svakome tko je trebao.

She was clear and warm in her approach, always ready to help anyone in need.

No, Ivanu je trebalo više nego obično.

However, Ivan needed more help than usual.

Približio joj se, oči sjajeći od uzbuđenja.

He approached her, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Marija, trebam tvoju pomoć!

"Marija, I need your help!

Spremamo konga liniju!

We're organizing a conga line!"

" rekao je.

he said.

Njegova neumorna energija bila je gotovo opipljiva.

His relentless energy was almost palpable.

Marija se nasmijala, svjesna njegove zablude.

Marija laughed, aware of his misconception.

"Ivan, kako bi bilo da prvo svi zajedno odigramo jednu igru sjedenja?

"Ivan, how about we all play a sitting game first?"

" predložila je, znajući da će smiriti situaciju i omogućiti da se konzultira s liječnicima o sljedećim koracima.

she suggested, knowing it would calm the situation and allow her to consult with the doctors about the next steps.

Ivan se složio.

Ivan agreed.

"To zvuči kao dobar početak!

"That sounds like a good start!"

"Dok su se svi smjestili, Marija je diskretno razgovarala s kolegama.

As everyone settled in, Marija discreetly talked with her colleagues.

Oni su brzo shvatili što trebaju učiniti kako bi Ivanu nježno objasnili svoju pogrešku.

They quickly understood what needed to be done to gently explain Ivan's mistake to him.

Nakon nekoliko minuta, Marija se vratila do Ivana.

After a few minutes, Marija returned to Ivan.

S osmijehom mu je objasnila stvarnu situaciju, pazeći da ne umanji njegovo uzbuđenje.

With a smile, she explained the real situation, careful not to dampen his excitement.

Njegove oči isprva su bile zbunjene, ali ubrzo je uslijedio dug smijeh.

His eyes were initially confused, but soon a long laugh followed.

"Pa, dobro ste me prevarili", rekao je kroz smijeh.

"Well, you got me there," he said, laughing.

Marija mu se pridružila u smijehu.

Marija joined in his laughter.

"Možda nisam najbolji vođa konga linije, ali hvala što si mi dao priliku!

"I might not be the best conga line leader, but thank you for giving me the chance!"

"Ivan je naučio vrijednu lekciju toga dana.

Ivan learned a valuable lesson that day.

Sve je oko njega postalo jasnije, a njegovo ponašanje bilo je smirenije i suradničkije.

Everything around him became clearer, and his behavior was calmer and more cooperative.

Marija je, s druge strane, naučila da male doze kreativnog razmišljanja i humora mogu biti od velike pomoći u teškim situacijama.

Marija, on the other hand, learned that small doses of creative thinking and humor can be very helpful in difficult situations.

Ubrzo, psiho-socijalna ravnoteža u odjelu je obnovljena, a svi, uključujući Ivana, uživali su u toplim jesenskim bojama koje su okruživale bolnicu.

Soon, the psycho-social balance in the ward was restored, and everyone, including Ivan, enjoyed the warm autumn colors surrounding the hospital.
