Nekega sončnega dne v Ljubljani, ko se je prebujala narava in je stara mestna arhitektura žarela v toplih žarkih, je Luka hitel skozi gnečo na Prešernovem trgu.

On a sunny day in Ljubljana, as nature was waking up and the old city architecture was glowing in the warm rays, Luka hurried through the crowd at Prešeren Square.

Ljudje so se smejali, otroci so tekali naokrog in ulični umetniki so risali na pločnik.

People were laughing, children were running around, and street artists were drawing on the pavement.

Luka je bil vesel, ker se je dogovoril za srečanje s svojo prijateljico Ano.

Luka was happy because he had arranged to meet his friend Ana.

Ana je bila Luki zelo pomembna, saj je bila vedno polna energije in nasmeha.

Ana was very important to Luka, as she was always full of energy and smiles.

Med hitenjem skozi trg, Luka opazi osebo, za katero misli, da je Ana.

While rushing through the square, Luka noticed a person he thought was Ana.

Oblečena je bila v svetla oblačila in njeni lasje so se svetili na soncu.

She was dressed in bright clothes and her hair was shining in the sun.

Brez premisleka je stekel proti njej s široko odprtimi rokami in jo močno objel, rekoč, "Ana, kako lepo te je videti!"

Without thinking, he ran towards her with wide-open arms and hugged her tightly, saying, "Ana, how nice to see you!"

A ko se ozre na obraz osebe, ki jo objema, opazi, da to sploh ni Ana, ampak Maja, županja Ljubljane.

But when he looked at the person's face he was hugging, he realized it wasn't Ana at all, but Maja, the mayor of Ljubljana.

Ob tem nenavadnem srečanju je bila Maja sprva presenečena, a kmalu se je sprostila in se začela smejati.

At this unusual encounter, Maja was initially surprised, but soon relaxed and started laughing.

Luka je ob tem postal rdeč kot pesa in se zmeden opravičil, "Oprostite, gospa županja, resnično sem mislil, da ste moja prijateljica."

Luka turned as red as a beet and awkwardly apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, I really thought you were my friend."

Maja je z razumevanjem pokimala.

Maja nodded understandingly.

Nasmehnila se je in rekla, "Nič hudega, Luka, saj imava vendar skupno prijateljico, Ano."

She smiled and said, "No harm done, Luka. After all, we have a mutual friend, Ana."

Luka je začudeno pogledal, "Poznate Ano?"

Luka looked puzzled, "You know Ana?"

"Seveda," je dejala Maja, "je moja svetovalka in dobra prijateljica. Z njo sva pravkar na poti na kavo."

"Of course," said Maja, "she is my advisor and a good friend. We were just on our way to get coffee."

Luka se je nasmehnil in se umiril.

Luka smiled and calmed down.

V tem trenutku je pristopila Ana, v smehu opazovala prizor in rekla: "No, Luka, zdaj vsaj poznaš županjo malo bolje!"

At that moment, Ana approached, observing the scene with laughter and said, "Well, Luka, now at least you know the mayor a little better!"

Vsi skupaj so se zasmejali in se odpravili na kavo.

They all laughed together and headed for coffee.

Med pogovorom je Luka spoznal, da je lahko napaka včasih priložnost za nova poznanstva in da je Ljubljana polna presenečenj.

During the conversation, Luka realized that a mistake can sometimes be an opportunity for new acquaintances and that Ljubljana is full of surprises.

Na koncu srečanja je Maja Luko povabila, naj se kot prostovoljec udeleži prihajajočega mestnega festivala, kar je Luka z veseljem sprejel.

At the end of the meeting, Maja invited Luka to participate as a volunteer in an upcoming city festival, which Luka gladly accepted.

Kako lepa napaka je bila ta zmešnjava!

What a beautiful mistake this mix-up was!

Sredi živahnega trga so se stkele nove vezi in Luka je zapuščal trg bogatejši za eno zgodbo, ki jo bo pripovedoval prijateljem.

New bonds were formed amidst the lively square, and Luka left richer by one story to tell his friends.

Hkrati pa je vedel, da bo Ljubljana vedno mesto presenečenj in prijateljstev.

At the same time, he knew that Ljubljana will always be a place of surprises and friendships.
