Pod sivilom oblaka i bijelim pokrivačem snijega, Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera izgledao je kao čarobni svijet zatečen u vremenu.

Under the grayness of the clouds and the white blanket of snow, Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera looked like a magical world caught in time.

Luka, Tanja i Ivana stajali su na vrhu zamrznutog slapa, gledajući dolje prema dolini prekrivenoj ostacima prošlog svijeta.

Luka, Tanja, and Ivana stood at the top of a frozen waterfall, gazing down at the valley covered with remnants of a past world.

Luka je čvrsto držao torbu punu zgužvanih ukrasa i pokušavao ih ohrabriti svojim vječnim optimizmom.

Luka held a bag full of crumpled decorations firmly and tried to encourage them with his eternal optimism.

"Moramo probati!

"We have to try!"

" rekao je Luka, oči mu blistale na ledenom zraku.

said Luka, his eyes sparkling in the icy air.

"Ako uspijemo napraviti festival, podsjetit ćemo se na bolje dane.

"If we manage to make a festival, we'll remind ourselves of better days."

"Tanja, umotana u debele slojeve odjeće, promatrala ga je sumnjičavo.

Tanja, wrapped in thick layers of clothing, watched him skeptically.

"Mislimo li stvarno da je to važno sada?

"Do we really think it's important now?

Trebamo hranu, drva za ogrjev.

We need food, firewood."

"Ivana, šuteći, gledala je ruševine oko njih, tragajući za neočekivanim inspiracijama.

Ivana, silently, watched the ruins around them, searching for unexpected inspirations.

"Možemo iskoristiti ono što imamo.

"We can use what we have.

Možda nađemo nešto korisno među ostacima.

Maybe we’ll find something useful among the remains."

"Luka je uzdahnuo.

Luka sighed.

"Idem potražiti još.

"I'm going to look for more.

Možda još nešto nađem.

Maybe I'll find something else."

"Odlučan, krenuo je prema gustoj šumi, dok mu je snijeg škripao pod čizmama.

Determined, he headed towards the dense forest, as the snow crunched under his boots.

Tanja je uzdahnula, ali ga je pratila pogledom.

Tanja sighed but followed him with her eyes.

Zabrinuta je, ali znala je da Luka nikada neće odustati.

She was worried, but she knew Luka would never give up.

Ivana je ostala s Tanji, počela skupljati staro drvo i šarene krpe.

Ivana stayed with Tanja, starting to gather old wood and colorful rags.

Dok je Luka dalje pretraživao, nenamjerno je pomaknuo veliki kamen koji je prekrio ulaz u malu, skrovitu pećinu.

While Luka continued searching, he accidentally moved a large stone covering the entrance to a small, hidden cave.

Odjednom, iz pećine su iskočili medvjedići, probuđeni iz zimskog sna.

Suddenly, bear cubs, awakened from their winter sleep, jumped out of the cave.

Pogledi su im se sreli i nastala je prava zbrka.

Their eyes met, and there was real chaos.

"Trči!

"Run!"

" povikao je Luka, dok su se medvjedići, zbunjeni ali znatiželjni, počeli igrati oko njega.

shouted Luka, as the bear cubs, confused but curious, began to play around him.

Smio se dok je bježao kroz hladnu šumu, a kada se konačno vratio s Ivani i Tanji, bio je bez daha i crven u licu.

He laughed as he ran through the cold forest, and when he finally returned to Ivana and Tanja, he was breathless and red in the face.

Svi su se smijali.

They all laughed.

Sliježući ramenima, Luka je pokazao prazne ruke.

Shrugging, Luka showed his empty hands.

"Nisam našao ništa dragocjeno.

"I didn't find anything valuable."

"Ivana je podigla svoje ruke.

Ivana raised her hands.

"Imamo jedni druge.

"We have each other.

I ovo!

And this!"

" Držala je šarenu vrpcu koja je oblikovala nešto nalik na cvijet.

She held a colorful ribbon that shaped something like a flower.

Tanja je osmijehom otpuhnula pahulju koja joj je pala na nos.

Tanja smiled and blew away a snowflake that had fallen on her nose.

"Možda je ovo dovoljno.

"Maybe this is enough.

Možemo se smijati i igrati.

We can laugh and play.

To je najbolji festival.

That's the best festival."

"Dok su u sumrak svi sjedili oko male vatre, njihovi glasovi i smijeh ispunjavali su tihu dolinu.

As dusk fell and they all sat around a small fire, their voices and laughter filled the silent valley.

Luka je shvatio da je istinska radost u malim trenucima koje stvaraju zajedno, iako svijet oko njih ostaje hladan i okrutan.

Luka realized that true joy lies in the small moments they create together, even though the world around them remains cold and cruel.

U toj čvrstoj vezi, pronašli su toplinu koja je odoljela svakoj zimi.

In that strong bond, they found warmth that withstood every winter.
