V pomladnem jutru, ko sonce nežno objema slovensko pokrajino, se Zala, Niko in Bojan zberejo pri vhodu v Postojnsko jamo.

On a spring morning, as the sun gently embraces the Slovenian landscape, Zala, Niko, and Bojan gather at the entrance to the Postojna Cave.

Zala, s svetlečimi očmi in nahrbtnikom, je polna pričakovanj.

Zala, with bright eyes and a backpack, is full of anticipation.

Rada raziskuje nove kraje in se veseli vsake priložnosti, da odkrije nekaj novega.

She loves exploring new places and looks forward to every opportunity to discover something new.

Zraven nje pa, z rahlo zategnjenim nasmehom, stoji Niko, ki načrtuje poseben vtis.

Beside her, with a slightly strained smile, stands Niko, who plans to make a special impression.

Odločil se je, da bo danes Zali pokazal, kako zanimiva je Postojnska jama, čeprav o njej ve le malo.

He has decided to show Zala how interesting the Postojna Cave is today, even though he knows little about it.

"Naj vas pozdravim pri naši čudoviti Postojnski jami," začne Niko samozavestno, pri tem pa pogleda naokrog po skalnatem vhodu.

"Let me welcome you to our beautiful Postojna Cave," Niko begins confidently, glancing around the rocky entrance.

"Tu so živeli jamski zmajčki, ki so stražili zaklad," dodaja s pomenljivim glasom.

"Here lived cave dragons who guarded treasure," he adds with a meaningful voice.

Zala se zasmeje.

Zala laughs.

Njegova izvirnost jo zabava, vendar hkrati ve, da nekaj morda le ne drži povsem.

His creativity amuses her, yet she senses that something might not be entirely accurate.

Medtem na drugem koncu jame, Bojan, pravi vodnik, z zanimanjem opazi ta nenavaden prizor.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the cave, Bojan, the real guide, observes this unusual scene with interest.

S širokim nasmehom se približa ter opazuje Nika, ki nadaljuje svojo izmišljeno zgodbo.

With a broad smile, he approaches and watches Niko as he continues his imaginary story.

"Ja, pa še to," nadaljuje Niko, "stalagmiti tu rastejo kot gobice po dežju.

"Yes, and also," Niko continues, "the stalagmites here grow like mushrooms after the rain.

Prav potipajte, so mehki kot puh.

Just touch them; they're as soft as fluff."

" Zala igraje iztegne roko, nato pa začuti, kako se stalagmiti čvrsto in hladno odzivajo njenemu dotiku.

In a playful manner, Zala reaches out her hand and feels the stalagmites respond firmly and coldly to her touch.

Zabava jo Nikova domišljija.

Niko's imagination entertains her.

Bojan takrat stopi naprej.

At that moment, Bojan steps forward.

"Oprostite," oglasi se z nasmeškom.

"Excuse me," he speaks up with a smile.

"Jaz sem Bojan, in čeprav rad slišim lepe zgodbe, bi rad dodal, da so stalagmiti nekoliko bolj trdni, kot si mi to raje predstavljamo!

"I'm Bojan, and although I love hearing beautiful stories, I'd like to add that stalagmites are a bit firmer than we might prefer to imagine!"

“ pove z iskrivostjo v glasu, medtem ko navihano pomežikne Zali.

he says with a twinkle in his voice, while playfully winking at Zala.

Niko se sprva zardi, a Bojan nadaljuje.

Niko blushes at first, but Bojan continues.

"Kaj, če skupaj naredimo našo turo še zanimivejšo?

"What if we make our tour even more interesting together?

Kot na primer, govorice, da se vode v jami včasih svetijo zaradi skrivnostnih jamskih bitij?

Like the rumors that the waters in the cave sometimes glow because of mysterious cave creatures?

Si upate?

Would you dare?"

" doda z nasmehom.

he adds with a smile.

Zala se smeji.

Zala laughs.

Njena pustolovska duša je očarana.

Her adventurous spirit is enchanted.

Sledi Bojanovim besedam in igra sodeluje v domišljijskem pripovedovanju.

She follows Bojan's words and playfully participates in the imaginative storytelling.

Odloči, da bo pustila Nikovo domislico živeti naprej, ker ve, da gre za zabavo in igro.

She decides to let Niko's creativity live on because she knows it's all about fun and play.

Ko končajo ogled, se prijatelji skupaj odpravijo proti izhodu, Niko pa se nauči pomembne lekcije.

When they finish the tour, the friends head towards the exit together, and Niko learns an important lesson.

Včasih je najbolje, da se smejemo sebi in da pristnost osvoji še tako iskriv domislek.

Sometimes it's best to laugh at ourselves and let authenticity capture even the most sparkling imagination.

Družina in prijatelji so mu pomembni, smeh pa najboljši sopotnik na poti skoz življenje.

Family and friends are important to him, and laughter is the best companion on the journey through life.
