Mateja je stala ob obali jezera Bled.

Mateja was standing by the shore of Lake Bled.

Sonce je sijalo in vse je bilo mirno.

The sun was shining and everything was calm.

Mateja je potrebovala ta trenutek.

Mateja needed this moment.

Njena glava je bila polna misli o študiju, izpitih in prihodnosti.

Her head was full of thoughts about studies, exams, and the future.

Tu, ob jezeru, je želela najti mir.

Here, by the lake, she wanted to find peace.

Njen prijatelj Nejc se ji je pridružil.

Her friend Nejc joined her.

Bil je nasmeh na dveh nogah, vedno pripravljen na pustolovščino.

He was a smile on two legs, always ready for an adventure.

"Pridi, pojdiva na izlet z ladjico," je predlagal z iskrico v očeh.

"Come on, let's take a boat ride," he suggested with a sparkle in his eyes.

Mateja je oklevala.

Mateja hesitated.

Želela je mir, ne pustolovščine.

She wanted peace, not an adventure.

Toda vedela je, da bi Nejc vztrajal.

But she knew that Nejc would persist.

Popustila je.

She gave in.

Skupaj sta stopila v majhen čoln in se odrinila na jezero.

Together they stepped into a small boat and pushed off onto the lake.

Voda se je bleščala v soncu.

The water glittered in the sun.

Videla sta otoček s cerkvico v daljavi.

They saw a small island with a little church in the distance.

Mateja je globoko vdihnila in se sprostila.

Mateja took a deep breath and relaxed.

Nato so se nebo nad njima hitro začelo temniti.

Then the sky above them quickly began to darken.

Veter je zavel in nebo je postajalo vse temnejše.

The wind stirred and the sky grew even darker.

"Nejc, mislim, da prihaja nevihta," je zaskrbljeno rekla Mateja.

"Nejc, I think a storm is coming," Mateja said worriedly.

Nejc se je smejal in dejal: "To bo zabavno!

Nejc laughed and said, "This will be fun!

Priložnost za avanturo!

A chance for adventure!"

" A Mateji ni bilo do avanture.

But Mateja wasn't in the mood for adventure.

Želela je nazaj, na varno obalo.

She wanted to return to the safe shore.

Dež je začel padati.

The rain started to fall.

Najprej nežno kapljanje, nato močan naliv.

First, a gentle drizzle, then a heavy downpour.

Valovi so postajali višji in čoln se je začel pozibavati.

The waves grew higher, and the boat began to sway.

Mateja je bila prestrašena.

Mateja was frightened.

"Morava se vrniti," je zavpila nad hrupom vetra.

"We have to get back," she shouted over the noise of the wind.

Nejc je resno prikimal, ko je opazil, da šala ni več smešna.

Nejc nodded seriously when he realized the joke was no longer funny.

Skupaj sta z vso močjo veslala proti obali.

Together, they paddled with all their strength toward the shore.

Nevihta se je krepila in Mateja ni videla ničesar več kot vode okoli sebe.

The storm was intensifying, and Mateja could see nothing but water around her.

Končno sta prispela do obale, mokra in utrujena.

Finally, they reached the shore, wet and exhausted.

Mateja je zdrsnila iz čolna naravnost v lužo, in nehote se je začela smejati.

Mateja slipped out of the boat straight into a puddle, and she involuntarily started laughing.

Nejc jo je gledal in se tudi začel smejati.

Nejc watched her and began to laugh as well.

"To je bila nora vožnja," je rekel z nasmehom.

"That was a crazy ride," he said with a smile.

Mateja je pogledala Nejc in se z nasmeškom strinjala.

Mateja looked at Nejc and agreed with a grin.

"Ja, nora je bila.

"Yes, it was crazy.

Ampak dobro je bilo doživeti nekaj drugačnega.

But it was good to experience something different."

"Ta dan je Mateja nekaj pomembnega spoznala.

That day, Mateja realized something important.

Včasih lahko neka nepričakovana pustolovščina prinese več, kot bi si želela.

Sometimes an unexpected adventure can bring more than one might desire.

Naučila se je, da je lahko malo kaosa tudi dobrodošlo v življenju, polnem načrtovanja.

She learned that a little chaos can also be welcome in a life full of plans.

Sprejela je nevihto, ki jo je Nejc prinesel v njen svet, in za trenutek pozabila na vse druge skrbi.

She embraced the storm Nejc brought into her world and, for a moment, forgot all her other worries.
