Sunce visoko stoji na nebu iznad Dubrovnika.
The sun stands high in the sky above Dubrovnik.
Zrak je topao i mirisan.
The air is warm and fragrant.
Ulice su pune turista koji šetaju i uživaju u ljepotama grada.
The streets are full of tourists who stroll and enjoy the beauty of the city.
Među užurbanim prolaznicima, Ivica nervozno hoda prema Policijskoj stanici Dubrovnik.
Among the bustling passersby, Ivica walks nervously towards the Dubrovnik Police Station.
Njegovo srce kuca ubrzano.
His heart beats rapidly.
Nedostaje mu važan dokument - putovnica.
He is missing an important document - his passport.
Ivica dolazi iz malog grada, posjećuje obitelj u Dubrovniku.
Ivica comes from a small town, visiting family in Dubrovnik.
Planirao je putovanje u Italiju, ali sad mu planovi ovise o tom papiru.
He had planned a trip to Italy, but now his plans depend on that paper.
Ulazi u kamenu zgradu policijske stanice, gdje je mirno i tiho za razliku od glasnih ulica vani.
He enters the stone building of the police station, where it is calm and quiet in contrast to the loud streets outside.
Na zidovima su posteri stare slike Dubrovnika.
On the walls are posters of old pictures of Dubrovnik.
Ivica osjeti nelagodu.
Ivica feels uneasy.
Njegov hrvatski nije dobar.
His Croatian is not good.
Promatra kako zaposlenici mirno rade za svojim stolovima.
He watches as employees calmly work at their desks.
U glavi mu se vrti misao kako će riješiti situaciju.
In his head, he wonders how he will resolve the situation.
Zna da mora prijaviti krađu, ali gdje da počne?
He knows he must report the theft, but where to begin?
"Ovdje sam ti pomoći," kaže Mia, njegova sestrična koja se pojavila pokraj njega poput spasitelja.
"I’m here to help you," says Mia, his cousin who appeared next to him like a savior.
Mia mu pruža osmijeh ohrabrenja.
Mia offers him an encouraging smile.
Ona je fluenta u engleskom i hrvatskom, i nudila je pomoć prije nego što bi ju on zatražio.
She is fluent in English and Croatian, and she offered help before he even asked.
"Moramo im sve objasniti," govori ona dok gestikulira prema pultu.
"We need to explain everything to them," she says, gesturing towards the counter.
Ivica kimne glavom, zahvalan, ali i pomalo posramljen što mu treba pomoć.
Ivica nods, grateful but also a little embarrassed that he needs help.
No, njegov cilj je važniji; ne može si priuštiti da ostane bez putovnice.
But his goal is more important; he cannot afford to be without his passport.
Nakon što su stali u red, Ivica se osjeća još više nervoznim.
After they stand in line, Ivica feels even more nervous.
Red se pomiče polako, dok ljudi oko njih vraćaju dokumente i raspituju se o problemima.
The line moves slowly, while people around them return documents and inquire about problems.
Na kraju, dođu do šaltera.
Finally, they reach the counter.
Maca, službenica srednjih godina s toplim očima, obraća im se.
Maca, a middle-aged officer with warm eyes, addresses them.
Mia preuzima razgovor, objašnjava Ivicinu situaciju i sve što se dogodilo.
Mia takes over the conversation, explaining Ivica's situation and everything that happened.
Ivica stoji uz nju, pažljivo slušajući i povremeno klimajući glavom.
Ivica stands beside her, listening carefully and occasionally nodding his head.
Službenica pokazuje razumijevanje, ali procedure su striktne.
The officer shows understanding, but the procedures are strict.
Ipak, Mia ne odustaje, i na kraju, Maca se sažali.
Nevertheless, Mia does not give up, and in the end, Maca takes pity on them.
"Vratite se za dva dana. Pomoći ćemo vam s privremenom putovnicom," odgovara Maca, uz blagi osmijeh.
"Return in two days. We will help you with a temporary passport," replies Maca, with a slight smile.
Ivica osjeća olakšanje, gotovo nevjerojatno.
Ivica feels relief, almost unbelievably.
Može nastaviti svoje putovanje!
He can continue his journey!
Nakon nekoliko dana, Ivica dobiva potrebne dokumente.
After a few days, Ivica receives the necessary documents.
Zahvaljuje svojoj sestrični.
He thanks his cousin.
Bez nje, sve bi bilo mnogo teže.
Without her, everything would have been much more difficult.
"Uvijek smo tu jedni za druge," kaže Mia opušteno.
"We’re always there for each other," says Mia comfortably.
Ivica se smiješi, shvaćajući važnost obitelji.
Ivica smiles, realizing the importance of family.
Ona ga ne samo spasila tog dana, već mu je pokazala i koliko značaj sigurnost i bliskost donose.
She not only saved him that day, but also showed him how much security and closeness bring.
S povjerenjem i novim dokumentima u ruci, Ivica se priprema za putovanje.
With confidence and new documents in hand, Ivica prepares for his trip.
Shvatio je dragocjenu lekciju o oslanjanju na druge.
He realized a valuable lesson about relying on others.
Uvjeren da je sve moguće postići uz pomoć dobrih ljudi pored sebe.
Convinced that anything is possible with the help of good people by his side.
Pod plavim nebeskim svodom i užurbanošću Dubrovnika, Ivica sad korača laganijim korakom, spreman za nova putovanja i avanture.
Under the blue sky and the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik, Ivica now walks with a lighter step, ready for new travels and adventures.
