Ljeto je na vrhuncu u Puli.

Summer is at its peak in Pula.

Sunce sjaji iznad drevnog rimskog amfiteatra, mjesto gdje povijest susreće sadašnjost.

The sun shines above the ancient Roman amphitheater, a place where history meets the present.

Luka, strastveni zaljubljenik u povijest, šeta među kamenim zidovima, divi se ljepoti prošlosti koju tišina današnjice još uvijek čuva.

Luka, a passionate history enthusiast, walks among the stone walls, admiring the beauty of the past that the silence of today still preserves.

Uz njega su prijatelji Matea i Boris, no Luka je danas malo odsutan, zaneseno šapće povijesne činjenice koje mu prkose toplini.

With him are his friends Matea and Boris, but today Luka is a bit distracted, murmuring historical facts that defy the heat.

"Zamisli gladijatore ovdje," kaže Luka, mašući rukom prema centralnoj areni.

"Imagine gladiators here," Luka says, waving his hand toward the central arena.

Njegovi prijatelji klimaju glavama, već navikli na njegova razmišljanja.

His friends nod, already accustomed to his musings.

No, neočekivani trenutak nepažnje odvodi do nevolje.

However, an unexpected moment of carelessness leads to trouble.

Dok pokazuje na jedan od lukova, Lukasov mobitel sklizne iz džepa, nestajući između sjedećih ploča.

While pointing to one of the arches, Luka's phone slips out of his pocket, disappearing between the seating slabs.

"Moje," uzdahne Luka, i bez razmišljanja klekne kako bi ga dohvatio.

"My phone," sighs Luka, and without thinking, he kneels to reach it.

U svojoj revnosti, Luka tada nespretno zapne između ploča.

In his eagerness, Luka then awkwardly gets stuck between the slabs.

Prijatelji ga pokušavaju izvući, ali dolaze turisti.

His friends try to pull him out, but tourists arrive.

Vidjevši ga ondje, pomisle da radi kao vodič.

Seeing him there, they think he's a guide.

"Počnite, molim vas. Što možete reći o amfiteatru?" obrati mu se stariji gospodin s fotoaparatom.

"Please start. What can you tell us about the amphitheater?" an older gentleman with a camera addresses him.

Luka, u početku zbunjen, brzo prihvati izazov.

Luka, initially confused, quickly accepts the challenge.

"Dobro," reče, "Amfiteatar u Puli jedan je od najočuvanijih na svijetu. Izgrađen je u 1. stoljeću..."

"Alright," he says, "The amphitheater in Pula is one of the best-preserved in the world. It was built in the 1st century..."

Dok govori, turisti slušaju, mnogi fotografiraju, a Matea i Boris smješkaju se sramežljivo.

As he speaks, the tourists listen, many taking photos, while Matea and Boris smile sheepishly.

Luka priča o veličanstvu prošlih borbi, o utjecaju Rima na ovu regiju, stvarajući slike prošlosti svakom riječju.

Luka talks about the grandeur of past battles, the influence of Rome on this region, creating images of the past with every word.

Kako se grupa kreće, vodi ih kroz prolaze amfiteatra, priča o životu i običajima Rimljana.

As the group moves, he guides them through the amphitheater's passages, talking about the life and customs of the Romans.

Nedugo zatim, među turistima zamijeti stranca koji pažljivo proučava tlo.

Soon after, among the tourists, he notices a stranger carefully studying the ground.

Taj posjetitelj podigne oči i priđe Luki s osmijehom, pružajući mu mobitel.

This visitor looks up and approaches Luka with a smile, handing him the phone.

"Tražili ste ovo?" reče muškarac.

"Were you looking for this?" the man says.

Luka, iznenađen i sretan, zahvali se.

Luka, surprised and happy, thanks him.

Turisti mu plješću, a on se sa smiješkom lagano naklonio.

The tourists applaud, and he bows slightly with a smile.

"Hvala, hvala svima," kaže, pomalo posramljen, ali zadovoljan zanimanjem koje je izazvao.

"Thank you, thank you all," he says, somewhat embarrassed but pleased with the interest he sparked.

Kad se povukao sa strane, osjetio je oslobođenje, ali i novu svijest.

When he stepped aside, he felt relieved but also newly aware.

Njegova ljubav prema povijesti ostala je, ali sada s dozom poniznosti.

His love for history remained, but now with a dose of humility.

Obećao je sebi da će sljedeći put biti oprezniji, a mobitel će spremiti dublje u džep.

He promised himself to be more cautious next time, and to keep his phone deeper in his pocket.

S izlaskom iz amfiteatra spremao se za povratak kući s Mateom i Borisom, naučen da povijest ne čuvamo samo u knjigama, nego i u svakoj priči, svakom slučaju i svakom trenutku s prijateljima.

As he exited the amphitheater, he prepared to return home with Matea and Boris, learning that we preserve history not just in books, but in every story, every event, and every moment with friends.
