Sneg je nežno padal, prekrijeval strehe in poti okoli Blejskega jezera.

Snow was gently falling, covering the roofs and paths around Blejsko jezero.

Na obzorju so se dvigali zasneženi vrhovi.

In the horizon, snow-capped peaks rose up.

Luka, Neža in Matej so stali na obali jezera, zaviti v šale in kape, občudovali so zimsko pokrajino.

Luka, Neža, and Matej were standing on the shore of the lake, wrapped in scarves and hats, admiring the winter landscape.

Danes je bil poseben dan – Prešernov dan.

Today was a special day – Prešernov dan.

Po vsem Bledu so potekale kulturne prireditve, toda Luka je imel drugačne načrte.

All over Bled, cultural events were taking place, but Luka had different plans.

Luka, strasten zimski plavalec, si je želel nekaj drznega: plavati v mrzlem Blejskem jezeru.

Luka, a passionate winter swimmer, wanted to do something daring: swim in the cold Blejsko jezero.

Želel je impresionirati svoje prijatelje.

He wanted to impress his friends.

Hkrati pa ga je v trebuhu stiskalo.

At the same time, he felt a knot in his stomach.

Ni si želel razočarati Neže in Mateja.

He didn't want to disappoint Neža and Matej.

"Si prepričan, Luka?

"Are you sure, Luka?"

" je vprašala Neža, ko ga je videla, kako se pripravlja.

Neža asked when she saw him preparing.

Nenadoma se je z neba spustila gosta sneg.

Suddenly, thick snow descended from the sky.

Veter je začel pihati močneje.

The wind started to blow stronger.

Snežna nevihta je hitela nad njimi.

A snowstorm was fast approaching them.

Luka se je ustavil.

Luka stopped.

Plavati med snežno nevihto je bilo nevarno.

Swimming during a snowstorm was dangerous.

Matej je pogledal nebo: "Morda bi moramo počakati?

Matej looked at the sky: "Maybe we should wait?"

" Luka je okleval.

Luka hesitated.

A njegov notranji glas je bil trdovraten.

But his inner voice was stubborn.

Želel je dokazati pogum.

He wanted to prove his courage.

A ob tem je vedel, da mora biti odgovoren.

Yet he knew he had to be responsible.

"Mogoče ni varno," je pribil Matej.

"Maybe it's not safe," Matej added.

Luka je pogledal proti jezeru, ki ga je zdaj veter močno gnal.

Luka looked towards the lake, which the wind was now driving hard.

Premislil je o varnosti.

He thought about safety.

Toda njegova želja po dosežku je bila močna.

However, his desire for accomplishment was strong.

Odločil se je.

He made his decision.

Skočil je v vodo.

He jumped into the water.

Mrzel šok ga je zajel.

A cold shock engulfed him.

Voda je bila ledena.

The water was icy.

Snežinke so ga dražile po licu.

Snowflakes teased his face.

A odločnost v njegovih očeh je bila jasna.

But the determination in his eyes was clear.

Plaval je, kolikor so mu dopuščale moči.

He swam as much as his strength allowed him.

Za trenutek je podvomil.

For a moment, he doubted.

Voda je bila tako hladna.

The water was so cold.

Pa vendar, misel na prijatelje ga je gnala naprej.

But still, the thought of his friends drove him forward.

"Luka!

"Luka!"

" je zavpela Neža.

Neža shouted.

Toda nikoli ni zapustil svojih načrtov.

But he never abandoned his plans.

S trmo in močjo je nadaljeval.

With stubbornness and strength, he continued.

Končno se je priplazil nazaj na obalo.

Finally, he crawled back to the shore.

Tresel se je, izmučen, a zmagovalen.

He was trembling, exhausted, but victorious.

Neža in Matej sta ga veselo ovila v brisače.

Neža and Matej happily wrapped him in towels.

Njuni očesi sta žarela od ponosa.

Their eyes glowed with pride.

"Bravo, Luka," je rekel Matej.

"Bravo, Luka," Matej said.

"To je bilo pogumno.

"That was brave."

" Luka se je nasmehnil.

Luka smiled.

Razumel je, da prava hrabrost pomeni oceniti tveganja in ceniti varnost.

He understood that true bravery means assessing the risks and valuing safety.

Morda ni postal junak le zaradi plavanja, temveč zaradi odgovornega ravnanja.

Perhaps he became a hero not just because of swimming, but because of responsible behavior.

Zasedli so klop in gledali na zasneženo pokrajino, kjer se je sneg usedal na vodo in se jezero bleščalo pod težkimi oblaki.

They settled on a bench and watched the snowy landscape, where the snow settled on the water and the lake sparkled under the heavy clouds.

Luka ni bil samo plavalec, bil je junak dneva.

Luka was not just a swimmer, he was the hero of the day.

Spreobrnil je svoj strah v novo, trdnejšo samozavest.

He transformed his fear into newfound, stronger confidence.
