Marko je stajao na ulazu u Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera.

Marko stood at the entrance to Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera.

Vjetar je nosio miris jeseni.

The wind carried the scent of autumn.

Lišće je bilo crveno, zlatno i smeđe.

The leaves were red, golden, and brown.

Oko njega su Ana i Ivica čekali.

Around him, Ana and Ivica waited.

Bio je to timski izlet kompanije u kojoj su radili.

It was a company team outing where they worked.

"Marko, ti vodiš", rekao je Ivica.

"Marko, you're leading," said Ivica.

Njegov ton je bio rezerviran. Skeptičan prema uspjehu izleta.

His tone was reserved, skeptical of the outing's success.

Ana je stajala tiho. Gledala je u kartu, pritajeno uzbuđena.

Ana stood quietly, looking at the map, secretly excited.

Planirali su pješačenje.

They planned a hike.

Bilo je važno za tim.

It was important for the team.

Komunikacija, timski duh, povjerenje - sve je to bio cilj.

Communication, team spirit, trust — these were the goals.

Ali Marko je bio nervozan.

But Marko was nervous.

Želio je uspjeti kao vođa.

He wanted to succeed as a leader.

Dok su hodali, razgovor među članovima tima bio je isprekidan.

As they walked, conversation among the team members was sporadic.

Magla se povremeno dizala nad jezerima, stvarajući dojam misterije.

Fog occasionally rose over the lakes, creating a sense of mystery.

Plitvička jezera s kaskadama i čistim vodama nudila su mir, ali i izazov.

The Plitvička jezera with their cascades and clear waters offered peace, but also a challenge.

Odjednom se oblaci skupe.

Suddenly, clouds gathered.

"Kiša će", primijeti Ana.

"It's going to rain," Ana observed.

Bili su usred staze kada je počelo pljuštati.

They were in the middle of the trail when it started pouring.

"Moramo se skloniti", rekao je Marko.

"We have to take cover," Marko said.

Ali karta se pokvasila.

But the map got wet.

Put nije bio jasan.

The path wasn't clear.

Nastao je kaos.

Chaos ensued.

Marko je bio zbunjen.

Marko was confused.

Pitanja su padala sa svih strana.

Questions were pouring in from all sides.

Ivica se namrštio.

Ivica frowned.

"Rekao sam," promrmljao je.

"I told you," he murmured.

Ana mu priđe.

Ana approached him.

"Možemo ići na sigurniju stazu", predloži ona.

"We can take a safer trail," she suggested.

Marko zastaje.

Marko paused.

Morao je odabrati.

He had to choose.

Slijediti plan ili slušati Anine sugestije?

Follow the plan or listen to Ana's suggestion?

Kiša još jače pljušti.

The rain poured harder.

Napeto je.

The tension was high.

Donosi odluku.

He made a decision.

"Idemo Aninim putem", odluči sigurno.

"We're going Ana's way," he decided confidently.

Grupa se zaputi kroz šumu, kišu koja kaplje s grana.

The group headed through the forest, rain dripping from branches.

Kiša prestaje.

The rain stopped.

Kroz gustu šumu, ugledaše vodopad.

Through the dense forest, they saw a waterfall.

Bio je skriven.

It was hidden.

Vode su padale niz stijene, svjetlucajući na svjetlosti jesenskog sunca.

The waters cascaded down the rocks, shimmering in the light of the autumn sun.

Tim se zaustavio.

The team stopped.

Čudo prirode bilo je preda njima.

A wonder of nature lay before them.

Ana se nasmiješi, osjećajući zahvalnost.

Ana smiled, feeling grateful.

Marko, sa strane, osjeća lagan nalet samopouzdanja.

Marko, off to the side, felt a gentle surge of confidence.

Pogledava prema Ivici, koji klimne, priznajući uspjeh.

He glanced at Ivica, who nodded, acknowledging the success.

Tim je proveo vrijeme na novootkrivenom mjestu.

The team spent time at the newly discovered spot.

Skoro zaboravljeno, ispod jesenskih boja, događalo se upravo ono najvažnije. Razumijevanje, prijateljstvo, povjerenje.

Almost forgotten, beneath the autumn colors, the most important thing was happening: understanding, friendship, trust.

Dok su se vraćali, svijetla Plitvička jezera ih utonuše u ugodan smiraj.

As they returned, the bright Plitvička jezera enveloped them in a pleasant calm.

Marko je shvatio da povjerenje donosi uspjeh.

Marko realized that trust brings success.

Ana je već znala kako voditi kad je potrebno.

Ana already knew how to lead when necessary.

Ivica je, bez riječi, priznao učinkovitost izleta.

Ivica, wordlessly, acknowledged the effectiveness of the outing.

Priroda je, opet, poslužila kao učitelj.

Nature, once again, served as a teacher.
