Kalemegdanskog parka.En: In the heart of Belgrade, among the ancient walls and shadows of past centuries, three students walked the paths of Kalemegdan Park.Sr: Miloš, Jelena i Nikola su sa svojim razredom krenuli na jednodnevni izlet.En: Miloš, Jelena, and Nikola, along with their class, embarked on a day trip.Sr: Vreme je bilo prohladno, ali sunčano.En: The weather was chilly but sunny.Sr: Početak proleća je cvetao.En: Early spring was in bloom.Sr: Dok su hodali prema staroj tvrđavi, vodič im je pričao priče o bitkama i kraljevima.En: As they walked towards the old fortress, the guide told them stories of battles and kings.Sr: “Miloše, pogodi gde su vojnici čuvali stražu?En: "Miloš, guess where the soldiers stood guard?"Sr: ” Nikola je pitao svog prijatelja, smeškajući se.En: Nikola asked his friend, smiling.Sr: Miloš je zamišljeno gledao visoke zidove.En: Miloš thoughtfully looked at the high walls.Sr: “Tamo gore, na najvišoj kuli,” odgovorio je sigurno.En: "Up there, on the tallest tower," he answered confidently.Sr: Jelena je tiho posmatrala pogled na reku Savu, skrivena u svojim mislima.En: Jelena quietly observed the view of the Sava River, lost in her thoughts.Sr: Došli su do mesta gde je vodič pokazao stepenice koje vode ispod zemlje.En: They reached a spot where the guide pointed to stairs leading underground.Sr: “Ovo je tajni prolaz,” rekao je ozbiljno.En: "This is a secret passage," he said seriously.Sr: Deca su bila fascinirana.En: The children were fascinated.Sr: Miloš je odmah predložio da idu dole.En: Miloš immediately suggested they go down.Sr: Jelena je bila malo uplašena, ali nije želela da pokaže.En: Jelena was a bit scared but didn't want to show it.Sr: Silazeći niz stepenice, Jelena je osećala hladnoću kamenih zidova.En: Descending the stairs, Jelena felt the coldness of the stone walls.Sr: Mesto je bilo mistično, sa slabim svetlom koje je titralo krajolikom.En: The place was mystical, with dim light flickering in the surroundings.Sr: “Šta ako se izgubimo?En: "What if we get lost?"Sr: ” pitala je tiho.En: she asked quietly.Sr: Nikola ju je ohrabrio: “Ne brini, mi smo zajedno.En: Nikola encouraged her, "Don't worry, we are together."Sr: ”Vodič im je govorio o tajnim prolazima i ratnicima koji su tu nekada živeli.En: The guide told them about the secret passages and warriors who once lived there.Sr: Miloš, Jelena i Nikola su pažljivo slušali, zapanjeni istorijom oko sebe.En: Miloš, Jelena, and Nikola listened carefully, amazed by the history around them.Sr: Mesta koja su videli bila su kao stranice stare knjige.En: The places they saw were like pages from an old book.Sr: Kada su izašli iz tajnog prolaza, sunce je već bilo nisko na nebu.En: When they emerged from the secret passage, the sun was already low in the sky.Sr: Vreme je prolazilo brzo dok su učili o prošlosti.En: Time had passed quickly as they learned about the past.Sr: Vraćajući se ka glavnom delu parka, deca su razgovarala o avanturama iz starine.En: Heading back to the main part of the park, the children talked about adventures from ancient times.Sr: Dok su se približavali grupi, Miloš je povukao Jelenu i Nikolu u stranu.En: As they approached the group, Miloš pulled Jelena and Nikola aside.Sr: “Hajde da obiđemo još malo sami,” rekao je.En: "Let's explore a bit more on our own," he said.Sr: Jelena je bila oprezna, ali Nikola je bio za.En: Jelena was cautious, but Nikola was in favor.Sr: Troje prijatelja su se udaljili od ostatka grupe i otišli prema klupu pored reke.En: The three friends distanced themselves from the rest of the group and went towards a bench by the river.Sr: Sedeli su na klupi, gledajući kako reke teče mirno.En: They sat on the bench, watching the river flow calmly.Sr: “Kalemegdan je pun tajni,” rekao je Miloš.En: "Kalemegdan is full of secrets," said Miloš.Sr: Jelena i Nikola su se složili.En: Jelena and Nikola agreed.Sr: Kada su se vratili svojim drugarima, vodič ih je pohvalio za hrabrost i radoznalost.En: When they rejoined their classmates, the guide praised them for their bravery and curiosity.Sr: “Istorija nije samo u knjigama, već i u onome što otkrivamo sami.En: "History isn't just in books, but in what we discover ourselves.Sr: Vi ste danas to pokazali,” rekao je sa osmehom.En: You showed that today," he said with a smile.Sr: Na kraju dana, dok su se vozili nazad kući, osećali su se zadovoljno.En: At the end of the day, as they drove back home, they felt content.Sr: Ne samo da su naučili mnogo o istoriji, već su i ojačali svoje prijateljstvo.En: Not only had they learned a lot about history, but they also strengthened their friendship.Sr: Kalemegdan nije bio samo park za njih.En: For them, Kalemegdan was not just a park.Sr: Postao je deo njihove zajedničke priče.En: It

sammen på en bænk, hendes ansigt fortrukket i smerte.En: Freja sank onto a bench, her face contorted in pain.Da: Lars kneb øjnene sammen og kiggede på anklen.En: Lars squinted and looked at her ankle.Da: "Den ser hævet ud," sagde han.En: "It looks swollen," he said.Da: "Vi må finde førstehjælp," sagde Marie hurtigt.En: "We need to find first aid," Marie said quickly.Da: Lars bøjede sig ned

coaster," Marie said after studying the map.Da: Lars nikkede og begyndte at lede Freja mod stedet.En: Lars nodded and began leading Freja towards it.Da: De gik langs søen, hvor svanerne svømmede, og forbi en isbod, hvor duften af frisklavet vaffelis fyldte luften.En: They walked along the lake, where swans swam, and past an ice cream stand, where the scent of freshly made waffle cones filled the air.Da: Da de nåede rutsjebanen, så de endelig skiltet til førstehjælpsstationen.En: When they reached the roller coaster, they finally saw the sign for the first aid station.Da: De skyndte sig hen og blev mødt af en venlig sygeplejerske.En: They hurried over and were met by a friendly nurse.Da: "Hvordan kan jeg hjælpe?"En: "How can I help?"Da: spurgte hun.En: she asked.Da: Lars forklarede, hvad der var sket, mens Freja satte sig på en stol.En: Lars explained what had happened while Freja sat down on a chair.Da: Sygeplejersken kiggede på Frejas ankel og sagde, "Det er en forstuvning, men ikke noget alvorligt.En: The nurse looked at Freja's ankle and said, "It's a sprain, but nothing serious.Da: Vi vil lægge en ispose og forbinde den."En: We'll apply an ice pack and wrap it."Da: Freja trak vejret lettet.En: Freja breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Sygeplejersken arbejdede effektivt, og snart var Frejas ankel forbundet.En: The nurse worked efficiently, and soon Freja's ankle was bandaged.Da:

besluttede at tage en stille tur i Tivoli-toget i stedet for mere krævende attraktioner.En: They decided to take a gentle ride on the Tivoli train instead of more demanding attractions.Da: Mens toget kørte langsomt igennem parkens skønhed, nød vennerne solnedgangen over København.En: As the train slowly led them through the park's beauty, the friends enjoyed the sunset over Copenhagen.Da: Freja så på Lars og Marie og følte sig heldig at have dem ved sin side.En: Freja looked at Lars and Marie and felt lucky to have them by her side.Da: Og således endte en dag, der begyndte med smil og endte i

suggestive viuzze con un solo pensiero in mente: trovare il miglior gelato della città.En: When the sun painted ancient Rome in gold, our friend Mario ventured into its charming alleyways with one thought in mind: finding the best gelato in the city.It: Mario era un uomo comune, dalla capigliatura riccioluta e con una leggera pancia data dal suo amore per il buon cibo.En: Mario was an ordinary man, with curly hair and a slight belly from his love of good food.It: Sua moglie diceva sempre che "l'amore passa per lo stomaco" e lui ne era la prova vivente.En: His wife always said that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and he was living proof of it.It: Ama la Roma antica, i suoi monumenti storici, la brezza del Tevere e soprattutto le piccole gelaterie artigianali nascoste nei vicoli più reconditi.En: He loved ancient Rome, its historical monuments, the breeze from the Tiber River, and especially the small artisanal gelaterias hidden in the most secluded alleyways.It: Un giorno, in una tiepida giornata di agosto, intraprese la sua missione: perdendosi nel labirinto di stradine romane alla ricerca del gelato perfetto.En: One day, on a warm August day, he embarked on his mission: getting lost in the labyrinth of Roman streets in search of the perfect gelato.It: Con una mappa della città in mano e gli occhi pieni di determinazione, Mario si avventurò nelle strade strette e tortuose di Roma.En: With a map of the city in hand and determination in his eyes, Mario ventured into the narrow and winding streets of Rome.It: Passava fra negozi colorati, fontane maestose e ristoranti affollati, sentendo l'inconfondibile eco delle risate e delle voci della gente.En: He passed by colorful shops, majestic fountains, and crowded restaurants, hearing the unmistakable echo of laughter and voices of the people.It: Prova i gelati uno dopo l'altro, dal pistacchio alla fragola, dal cioccolato alla nocciola.En: He tried gelatos one after the other, from pistachio to strawberry, from chocolate to hazelnut.It: Tutti buoni, ma nessuno sembrava raggiungere l'eccellenza del gusto che Mario cercava.En: All good, but none seemed to reach the excellence of taste that Mario was looking for.It: Il calore del pomeriggio si intensificò e Mario stava perdendo le speranze.En: The heat of the afternoon intensified, and Mario was losing hope.It: Tuttavia, la

che non aveva notato prima, stretto e leggermente ombroso.En: He finally found a small alley that he hadn't noticed before, narrow and slightly shady.It: Alla fine del vicolo, vide una piccola gelateria, nascosta come un tesoro prezioso.En: At the end of the alley, he saw a small gelateria, hidden like a precious treasure.It: Entrando, rimase incantato dal profumo dolce e avvolgente che lo accolse.En: Upon entering, he was enchanted by the sweet and enveloping aroma that welcomed him.It: Ordinò un cono con cioccolato fondente e panna.En: He ordered a cone with dark chocolate and whipped cream.It: Quando prese il primo morso, i suoi occhi si illuminarono.En: When he took the first bite, his eyes lit up.It: Quello era esattamente il sapore che cercava!En: That was exactly the flavor he was looking for!It: Un perfetto equilibrio tra dolcezza e cremosità.En: A perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.It: I sapori danzavano in bocca, che narra la storia antica del cacao e del latte

had finally achieved his goal.It: In quel momento, capì che la bellezza della sua avventura non stava solo nel trovare il miglior gelato, ma anche nel viaggio per scoprirlo.En: In that moment, he

a provare il gelato il giorno seguente.En: He rushed home happy and satisfied, hoping to bring his wife to taste the gelato the next day.It: E magari, passare ancora una volta attraverso il labirinto di stradine che tanto amava, ora non più un mistero.En: And perhaps, to pass once again through the maze of alleyways he loved so much, now no longer a mystery.It: E così, anche giunta la sera, la città di Roma continuò a vivere nelle sue stradine, aspettando che il giorno dopo altri avventurieri, proprio come Mario, decidessero di perdersi nel suo incantevole labirinto alla ricerca del gelato perfetto.En: And so, even as evening approached, the city of Rome continued to live in its streets, waiting for the next day for other adventurers, just like Mario, to decide to get lost in its

Marta i Guillem, dos bons amics de sempre, es van asseure a una taula d'un restaurant tradicional català enmig del fervor del Barri Gòtic. Un murmur de converses en català omplia l'aire com la marinada d'una bona paella.En: The sun began to disappear behind the iconic buildings of Barcelona. Marta and Guillem, two longtime good friends, sat down at a table in a traditional Catalan restaurant amid the bustle of the Gothic Quarter. A murmur of conversations in Catalan filled the air like the aroma of a good seafood paella.Ca: "Què us agradaria per sopar?" el cambrer va demanar amb un amable somriure. Marta va mirar Guillem, que va fer un moviment encoratjador amb el cap. Agafant el menú, va assenyalar el que ella creia que era la paella de marisc que tanta gana tenia. "M'agradaria això, si us plau," va dir amb orgull, pensant que acabava de manejar amb èxit el seu català incipient.En: "What would you like for dinner?" the waiter asked with a friendly smile. Marta looked at Guillem, who nodded encouragingly. Taking the menu, she pointed to what she believed was the seafood paella that she was craving so much. "I would like this, please," she said proudly, thinking she had just successfully handled her budding Catalan.Ca: El cambrer va assentir i va esbossar un petit somriure mentre es retirava per preparar els plats. Guillem, mentre es bevia un copa de vi negre, va aplaudir Marta per la seva valentia, ignorant completament l'equívoc que acabava de cometre.En: The waiter nodded and gave a small smile as he left to prepare the dishes. Guillem, sipping on a glass of red wine, praised Marta for her courage, completely unaware of the mistake she had just made.Ca: Quan el cambrer es va acostar a la taula amb una safata, el somriure de Marta es va desvanir ràpidament. Davant seu, en comptes d'una paella plena de marisc, tenia una safata de... cargols! Guillem, prèviament sorprès, va esclatar de riure, comprenent immediatament el que havia passat. Marta, per la seva banda, estava estupefacta, tan empetitida com aterroritzada per la vista dels cargols babosos davant seu.En: When the waiter approached the table with a tray, Marta's smile quickly faded. In front of her, instead of a full seafood paella, there was a tray of... snails! Guillem, initially surprised, burst out laughing, immediately understanding what had happened. Marta, on the other hand, was stunned, both intimidated and terrified by the sight of the slimy snails in front of her.Ca: "T'agraden els cargols, oi?" Guillem va dir amb una rialla reprimida. Marta es va girar cap a ell amb un somriure forçat. "Doncs ara és un bon moment per començar a agradar-m'hi, oi?"En: "You like snails, right?" Guillem said with a suppressed laugh. Marta turned to him with a forced smile. "Well, now is a good time to start liking them, right?"Ca: La resta de la nit es va passar entre rialles i amenaces divertides de part de Marta. Al final, després d'alguna persuasió suau per part de Guillem, Marta fins i tot va témer prou coratge per provar els cargols, que, segons va admetre a contracor, "no eren tan dolents com semblaven."En: The rest of the night was spent in laughter and playful threats from Marta. Eventually, after some gentle persuasion from Guillem, Marta even mustered up the courage to try the snails, which, she reluctantly admitted, "weren't as bad as they seemed."Ca: Així va passar aquella nit a Barcelona, entre edificis històrics, carrers adoquinats i la calidesa de la familiaritat. I quan es van aixecar per marxar, tots dos feien broma sobre la "cena de cargols". Marta va aprendre una lliçó important aquella nit, però sobretot tingueren una història per recordar, una d'aquelles que fan les nit més especials. I això, al cap i a la fi, és de què es tracta les aventures, oi?En: And so the night in Barcelona passed, amidst historic buildings, cobblestone streets, and the warmth of familiarity. As they rose to leave, both joking about the "snail dinner," Marta learned an important lesson that night, but above all, they had a story to remember, one of those that make nights more special. And that, after all, is what adventures are all about, right?
