Vintgar je bil dih jemajoč.

Vintgar was breathtaking.

Poleti je bil prekrit z bujnim zelenjem.

In the summer, it was covered with lush greenery.

Leseni mostovi so se vili nad glasno reko Radovno.

Wooden bridges arched over the loud Radovna River.

Alenka, mlado dekle s sanjami o poklicu vodnice v divjini, je stala na robu poti in občudovala lepoto narave.

Alenka, a young girl with dreams of becoming a wilderness guide, stood at the edge of the path, admiring the beauty of nature.

Vedno je našla mir v divjini.

She always found peace in the wild.

Danes je bila sama.

Today, she was alone.

Miha in Janko, njena prijatelja, sta bila nekaj metrov pred njo, raziskovala sta sence med drevesi.

Miha and Janko, her friends, were a few meters ahead of her, exploring the shadows among the trees.

Nebo se je nenadoma potemnilo.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Grom je zadonel čez dolino.

Thunder echoed across the valley.

Janko je zaskrbljeno pogledal v nebo.

Janko looked worriedly at the sky.

"Alenka, mislim, da prihaja nevihta," je zaklical.

"Alenka, I think a storm is coming," he called out.

Toda Alenka je bila preveč zaposleni z občudovanjem okolice, da bi opazila prvih nekaj kapelj dežja.

But Alenka was too busy admiring the surroundings to notice the first few drops of rain.

Ko je nevihta nenadoma udarila, je bilo strašljivo.

When the storm suddenly hit, it was terrifying.

Dež je neusmiljeno padal, voda v soteski Vintgar pa je neprestano naraščala.

The rain fell relentlessly, and the water in the Vintgar Gorge kept rising.

Pot je postala gladka in nevarna.

The path became slick and dangerous.

Alenka je hitro opazila, kako hitro se razmere poslabšujejo.

Alenka quickly noticed how rapidly the conditions were deteriorating.

Miha in Janko sta se obrnila proti izhodu, a Alenka je bila ujetnica lastnega občutka odgovornosti in želje po avanturi.

Miha and Janko turned toward the exit, but Alenka was a prisoner of her own sense of responsibility and desire for adventure.

"Moram najti višji teren," si je rekla.

"I must find higher ground," she told herself.

Poznala je sotesko bolje kot kdo drug.

She knew the gorge better than anyone else.

Njeno srce je bilo mirno, čeprav je voda bučala okoli nje.

Her heart was calm, even though the water roared around her.

Sprejela je drzno odločitev.

She made a bold decision.

Večji del poti je postal preveč nevaren.

Most of the path had become too dangerous.

Alenka je ubrala manj poznano pot, ki se je strmo dvignila nad sotesko.

Alenka chose a less known path that climbed steeply above the gorge.

Kljub temu je bila pot prežeta z ovirami.

Nevertheless, the path was fraught with obstacles.

Na bolj odprtem delu poti je morala skočiti čez širšo razpoko.

In a more open section of the path, she had to jump over a wider chasm.

Pod njo je bila voda že na mrtvi dirki.

Below her, the water was racing wild.

"Zmorem," si je rekla odločno in skočila.

"I can do it," she said confidently and jumped.

Pristala je na drugi strani in se uječila na trdni skali.

She landed on the other side and steadied herself on solid rock.

Ko je dosegla višjo pečino, je našla mesto, od koder je lahko signalizirala za pomoč.

When she reached a higher cliff, she found a spot from where she could signal for help.

V daljavi so videli njeno zastavico.

They saw her flag in the distance.

Reševalci so hitro ukrepali.

Rescuers acted quickly.

Kmalu je bila na varnem.

Soon she was safe.

Ko so jo reševalci pripeljali nazaj k Mihatu in Janku, je Alenka občutila novo zaupanje v svoje sposobnosti.

When the rescuers brought her back to Miha and Janko, Alenka felt a new confidence in her abilities.

Skozi ta preizkus je spoznala, da ji narava ni bila le izziv, temveč tudi zaveznik.

Through this trial, she realized that nature was not just a challenge but also an ally.

Znala je zaupati svojim instinktom in znanju.

She knew how to trust her instincts and knowledge.

Ko se je sonce začelo pojavljati na obzorju, zalivalo pokrajino s toplino, je Alenka vedela, da bo uresničila svoje sanje o tem, da postane vodnica v divjini.

As the sun began to appear on the horizon, bathing the landscape in warmth, Alenka knew she would fulfill her dreams of becoming a wilderness guide.

Nevihta je odšla, a poželenje po avanturi je ostalo.

The storm had passed, but the longing for adventure remained.
