Vroč poletni dan je že zgodaj začel prelivati zlate sončne žarke čez gore in doline Triglavskega narodnega parka.

A hot summer day had already begun to bathe the golden sunbeams over the mountains and valleys of Triglav National Park early in the morning.

Mateja, Luka in Gregor so stali na začetku poti, ki je vodila proti vrhu Triglava.

Mateja, Luka, and Gregor stood at the start of the path leading towards the summit of Triglav.

Pod nogami so čutili trdna tla, v zraku pa vonj po svežini gora.

They felt solid ground beneath their feet and the fresh scent of the mountains in the air.

»Smo pripravljeni?

"Are we ready?"

« je vprašala Mateja.

Mateja asked.

Njene oči so se svetile od navdušenja.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Že dolgo je sanjala o tem, kako bo osvojila najvišji vrh Slovenije.

She had long dreamt of conquering the highest peak in Slovenia.

Luka, vedno previden, je pokimal in rekel: »Seveda, ampak bodimo pazljivi.

Luka, always cautious, nodded and said, "Of course, but let's be careful."

«Gregor je prišel tiho in skrivnostno.

Gregor arrived quietly and mysteriously.

Komaj so ga spoznali, a nekaj v njegovem obnašanju jih je pritegnilo.

They hardly knew him, but something about his demeanor attracted them.

Bil je tih, a zdel se je odločen.

He was silent but seemed determined.

»Gore nas bodo preizkusile,« je rekel, kar je Matejo in Luko nekoliko presenetilo.

"The mountains will test us," he said, surprising Mateja and Luka somewhat.

Pot naprej je bila zahtevna.

The path ahead was challenging.

Kamnite poti so postajale vse bolj strme, visoki borovci so dajali nekaj sence, a tudi občutek skrite nevarnosti.

The rocky trails became increasingly steeper, and the tall pines provided some shade but also a sense of hidden danger.

Luka je hodil previdno, stalno je preverjal Matejo, ki je poskušala držati korak s svojim tempom.

Luka walked carefully, constantly checking on Mateja, who tried to keep pace with her own rhythm.

Bilo ji je neprijetno.

She felt uncomfortable.

»Pusti me, Luka, znam pazit nase,« je rekla z rahlo jezo v glasu.

"Leave me, Luka, I can take care of myself," she said, with a hint of irritation in her voice.

Vreme se je začelo spreminjati.

The weather started to change.

Oblačnost se je zgrinjala, veter je postal močnejši.

Clouds gathered, and the wind grew stronger.

Gregor je pohodil in posvetoval z njimi: »Morali bi se umakniti, pred nevihto je lahko nevarno.

Gregor quickened his step and consulted with them: "We should take shelter; it can be dangerous before a storm."

« Mateja ni hotela slišati za umik.

Mateja did not want to hear about retreating.

»Samo še malo, potem sem na vrhu,« je vztrajala.

"Just a bit more, and I'll be at the top," she insisted.

Luka je bil v dvomih, ali naj naloži svoje skrbi ali zaupa Mateji.

Luka was torn between voicing his concerns or trusting Mateja.

Nenadoma je prišla nevihta.

Suddenly, a storm hit.

Veter je bil silovit, dežne kaplje mrzle in težke.

The wind was fierce, and the raindrops were cold and heavy.

Našli so zavetišče pod veliko skalo.

They found shelter under a large rock.

Tam so morali sprejeti odločitev: nadaljevati ali se vrniti.

There, they had to make a decision: proceed or retreat.

Gregor se je takrat odprl.

Gregor opened up at that moment.

»Prišel sem sem, ker sem mislil, da bom našel mir na vrhu.

"I came here because I thought I would find peace at the summit.

A zdaj vidim, da so prijatelji vredni več,« je rekel.

But now I see that friends are worth more," he said.

Luka je Mateji končno zaupal in jo spodbujal: »Če si pripravljena, gremo.

Luka finally trusted Mateja and encouraged her: "If you're ready, let's go."

« Mateja je v tistem trenutku razumela, da moč ni samo v vztrajnosti, ampak tudi v poslušanju prijateljev.

At that moment, Mateja understood that strength is not just in persistence but also in listening to friends.

Po prehodu nevihte je bil zrak svež, nebo čisto.

After the storm passed, the air was fresh and the sky clear.

Skupaj so dosegli vrh.

Together, they reached the summit.

Stali so na vrhu Triglava, sonce je spet sijalo.

They stood at the top of Triglav, and the sun shone again.

Gregor se je smejal, Luka je bil ponosen, Mateja pa je čutila popolno srečo.

Gregor laughed, Luka felt proud, and Mateja felt complete happiness.

Vsak je našel svoj notranji mir in smisel.

Each found their inner peace and meaning.

Med potjo nazaj so postali prijatelji.

On the way back, they became friends.

Naučili so se vrednosti spoštovanja, zaupanja in skupne moči.

They learned the value of respect, trust, and collective strength.

Gore so jih preizkusile, a tudi združile.

The mountains tested them but also united them.

In tako so se vrnili v dolino, bogatejši za eno najlepših izkušenj v življenju.

And so, they returned to the valley, enriched by one of the most beautiful experiences of their lives.
