Snijeg je pokrio Zagreb kao bijeli pokrivač, dok su pahulje plesale zrakom i nježno se spuštale na tlo.

The snow covered Zagreb like a white blanket, as the flakes danced in the air and gently settled on the ground.

U sirotištu, smještenom na rubu grada, unutra je bilo toplo.

Inside the orphanage, located on the edge of the city, it was warm.

Djeca su se igrala u svojim šarenim džemperima, a miris keksa širio se zrakom.

The children played in their colorful sweaters, and the aroma of cookies filled the air.

Nina je sjedila pored prozora, promatrala je snijeg i zamišljala Božić pun radosti.

Nina sat by the window, watching the snow and imagining a Christmas full of joy.

No, znala je da ove godine neće biti ni puno darova ni mnogo pomoći izvana.

Yet, she knew that this year there wouldn't be many gifts or much help from outside.

Snježna oluja prekinula je dolazak bilo kakvih potrepština.

The snowstorm had disrupted the arrival of any supplies.

Svi su se oslonili na vlastite sposobnosti i resurse.

Everyone relied on their own abilities and resources.

Petar je sjedio blizu i gledao Ninu s nadom u očima.

Petar sat nearby, watching Nina with hope in his eyes.

Osjećao se tužno jer su prošle godine imali veće slavlje.

He felt sad because last year they had a bigger celebration.

"Nina, misliš li da će Božić biti poseban?

"Nina, do you think Christmas will be special?"

" upitao je sumnjičavo.

he asked doubtfully.

Nina je odlučila.

Nina made a decision.

"Hoće, Petre.

"It will be, Petre.

Napravit ćemo najbolje što možemo", rekla je s osmijehom punim odlučnosti.

We'll do the best we can," she said with a smile full of determination.

"Svi ćemo pomoći.

"We'll all help.

Napravit ćemo ukrase i darove.

We'll make decorations and gifts."

"Djeca su se okupila, a Nina je predvodila.

The children gathered, and Nina led them.

Svi su skupili papire, stare kutije, malo šarenog papira i svu boju koju su mogli pronaći.

They collected papers, old boxes, some colorful paper, and all the paint they could find.

Zajedno su izrađivali pahuljice, papirnate vijke i male poklone.

Together they made snowflakes, paper screws, and small gifts.

No, ubrzo su shvatili da materijala nema dovoljno.

But soon they realized there wasn't enough material.

Petar je izgubio nadu.

Petar lost hope.

"Nina, što ćemo sada?

"Nina, what will we do now?

Nemamo ništa više.

We have nothing left."

"Nina je osjetila težinu situacije, ali nije htjela odustati.

Nina felt the weight of the situation but didn't want to give up.

U tom trenutku, vrata su se širom otvorila i unutra je ušla Klara.

At that moment, the doors swung open, and Klara entered.

Bila je ozbiljna žena, ali s dobrotom u srcu.

She was a serious woman, but with kindness in her heart.

"Iznenađenje!

"Surprise!"

" rekla je Klara s osmijehom.

said Klara with a smile.

"Znam kako vam je važno ovo slavlje.

"I know how important this celebration is to you.

Pogledajte što sam pronašla.

Look what I found."

" Izvukla je skrivene kutije s ukrasima i materijalima koje je čuvala za posebne prilike.

She pulled out hidden boxes of decorations and materials she had kept for special occasions.

Oči djece zasjale su od uzbuđenja.

The children's eyes shone with excitement.

S novim materijalima mogli su nastaviti svoje kreacije.

With the new materials, they could continue their creations.

Klara je čak počela pomagati, a njezin smijeh ispunio je prostoriju toplinom.

Klara even started helping, and her laughter filled the room with warmth.

Te večeri, sirotište je blistalo u svjetlu ručno izrađenih ukrasa, a miris borovine i svježe pečenih kolačića širio se prostorom.

That evening, the orphanage glowed with the light of handmade decorations, and the scent of pine and freshly baked cookies filled the space.

Djeca su sretno plesala i pjevala božićne pjesme oko drvca.

The children happily danced and sang Christmas carols around the tree.

Nina je osjetila ponos i sreću.

Nina felt pride and happiness.

Uspjeli su.

They had succeeded.

Nisu imali puno, ali su imali jedno drugo.

They didn't have much, but they had each other.

Shvatila je snagu zajedništva i ljubaznosti, koju je prenijela i na Klaru, koja je te noći otvorila svoje srce za čaroliju blagdana.

She realized the power of togetherness and kindness, which she also conveyed to Klara, who that night opened her heart to the magic of the holidays.

Tako su djeca, uz pomoć Nine, Klare i svojih prijatelja, imala najposebniji Božić dosad.

So, with the help of Nina, Klara, and their friends, the children had the most special Christmas yet.

Šapat pahulja nošen je hladnim zrakom, dok su u toplini sirotišta svijetlili osmijesi i svjetlost zajedništva.

The whisper of snowflakes was carried by the cold air, while in the warmth of the orphanage, smiles and the light of togetherness shone brightly.
