Snijeg je tiho prekrivao ulice Zagreba.

The snow quietly covered the streets of Zagreb.

Zrake lampica blještale su poput zvijezda, dok su se glasovi božićnih pjesama širili zrakom.

The lights' rays shone like stars while the voices of Christmas carols filled the air.

Ivana, vesela djevojka s osmijehom na licu, uživala je u idili božićnog sajma.

Ivana, a cheerful girl with a smile on her face, enjoyed the idyllic setting of the Christmas market.

Za nju, ovo je bilo čarobno doba godine.

For her, it was a magical time of the year.

Hodajući među štandovima, osjetila je miris cimeta i klinčića.

Walking among the stalls, she sensed the aroma of cinnamon and cloves.

Njezin cilj bio je pronaći savršeno licitarsko srce za mamu.

Her goal was to find the perfect gingerbread heart for her mom.

Upravo ispred jednog od štandova, Ivana je ugledala idealno srce.

Right in front of one of the stalls, Ivana spotted the perfect heart.

Crveno, s bijelim slovima, bilo je kao stvoreno za njezinu majku.

Red, with white letters, it seemed made for her mother.

Okrenula se da pronađe novčanik u torbi, kad iznenada nije bilo srca na stolu.

She turned to find her wallet in the bag when suddenly there was no heart on the table.

Pogledala je oko sebe i ugledala Marka, svog rođaka, sanjarski promatrao uokolo, držeći srce u ruci.

She looked around and saw Marko, her cousin, dreamily looking around, holding the heart in his hand.

„Marko, što radiš?“ upitala ga je Ivana, nestrpljivo ga gledajući.

"Marko, what are you doing?" she asked him, looking at him impatiently.

„Što? Oh, Ivana! Nisam ništa uzeo... mislio sam da to gledam,“ slegnuo je ramenima, ne baš svjestan Ivaničinog ljutitog pogleda.

"What? Oh, Ivana! I didn't take anything... I thought I was just looking at it," he shrugged, not fully aware of Ivana's angry gaze.

Ivana je bila sigurna da je Marko uzeo srce zbog svoje zaboravnosti.

Ivana was sure that Marko had taken the heart due to his forgetfulness.

Bez mnogo razmišljanja, pripremila se da ga suoči.

Without much thought, she prepared to confront him.

U tom trenutku, kroz gužvu je prodrla Petra, noseći licitarsko srce.

At that moment, through the crowd, Petra pushed through, carrying the gingerbread heart.

„Ej, Ivana! Pogledaj što sam pronašla! Netko je ostavio ovo na stolu,“ viknula je Petra, sretna što je otkrila srce.

"Hey, Ivana! Look what I found! Someone left this on the table," shouted Petra, happy to have discovered the heart.

Ivana je odahnula s olakšanjem, a zatim prasnula u smijeh.

Ivana sighed with relief, then burst into laughter.

„Oh, Petra... bila sam sigurna da ga Marko uzeo!“ rekla je kroz smijeh.

"Oh, Petra... I was sure that Marko had taken it!" she said through her laughter.

Marko je također počeo smijati, shvativši zabunu.

Marko also began to laugh, realizing the misunderstanding.

„Naravno, ja sam uvijek krivac!“ dodao je veselo.

"Of course, I'm always the culprit!" he added cheerfully.

Svjetla sajma zasvijetlila su još jače dok su troje prijatelja, sada bez nesporazuma, uživali u toploj atmosferi.

The market lights shone even brighter as the three friends, now free of misunderstanding, enjoyed the warm atmosphere.

Ivana se okrenula prema Petri i Marku s osmijehom.

Ivana turned to Petra and Marko with a smile.

Naučila je lekciju da ne sudi prebrzo.

She had learned a lesson not to judge too quickly.

„Znate, možda je ovo zapravo bio božićni poklon za sve nas,“ rekla je Ivana.

"You know, maybe this was actually a Christmas gift for all of us," said Ivana.

Svi se složili u smijehu, osjećajući radost blagdanskog duha.

Everyone agreed in laughter, feeling the joy of the holiday spirit.

Dok su lutali dalje među štandovima, prijatelji su uživali u blagdanskoj čaroliji, svatko držeći po komad licitarskog srca, dijeleći toplinu Božića među sobom.

As they wandered further among the stalls, the friends enjoyed the festive magic, each holding a piece of gingerbread heart, sharing the warmth of Christmas among themselves.
