Story Transcript:

Sr: U staroj kafani na obali Dunava svetla su se blago njihala u ritmu muzike.
En: In an old tavern on the banks of the Danube, the lights gently swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Sr: Ana, Milos i Petar večeras su odlučili da tu proslave Petarov rođendan.
En: Ana, Milos, and Petar had decided to celebrate Petar's birthday there tonight.

Sr: Prijatelji godeinama i kroz sve zgode i nezgode, znali su kako da se dobro provedu zajedno.
En: Friends for years, through thick and thin, they knew how to have a good time together.

Sr: Ana je bila duša društva, uvek nasmejana i spremna na šalu.
En: Ana was the life of the party, always smiling and ready for a joke.

Sr: Milos, pak, uvek propisno obučen, večeras je nosio svoje novo odelo, crno sa sjajnim reverima, baš onakvo kakvo se nosi samo u posebnim prilikama.
En: Milos, on the other hand, always well-dressed, was wearing his new suit tonight, black with shiny lapels, the kind that's only worn on special occasions.

Sr: A Petar.
En: And Petar...

Sr: On je bio kralj plesa i nijedna slavlje nije moglo proći bez njegovih akrobacija na stolu.
En: He was the king of dance, and no celebration could pass without his acrobatics on the table.

Sr: Dok je bend svirao hitove sa radija, Ana je naručila rundu pića za ekipu.
En: While the band played hits from the radio, Ana ordered a round of drinks for the group.

Sr: Sa tacnom punom čašica rakije koračala je ka stolu gde su sedeli, kada je Petar, već poprilično radostan, počeo da igra po stolu.
En: Carrying a tray full of glasses of rakija, she walked toward the table where they were sitting, when Petar, already quite merry, started dancing on the table.

Sr: Svi su se smejali dok je Ana mahala rukama, pretvarajući se da ga moli da siđe pre nego što obori nešto.
En: Everyone laughed as Ana waved her hands, pretending to beg him to get down before he knocked something over.

Sr: Ali onda se desilo ono neočekivano.
En: But then the unexpected happened.

Sr: Kroz smeh i šalu, jedan od Petrovih razdraganih pokreta završio je šutiranjem nogom u tacnu koju je Ana čvrsto držala.
En: Amidst laughter and jokes, one of Petar's jubilant moves ended with him kicking the tray Ana was holding firmly.

Sr: Kapljice zlatne rakije poleteli su vazduhom, praveći luk prema Milosu, kao da su to male zvezde padalice na putu ka novoj meti.
En: Droplets of golden rakija flew through the air, making an arc toward Milos, as if they were little shooting stars on their way to a new target.

Sr: Ana je zanemela dok je gledala kako se rakija razliva po Milosovom novom, elegantnom odelu, ostavljajući tamne mrlje na svilenkastom tkanju.
En: Ana was speechless as she watched the rakija spill on Milos's new, elegant suit, leaving dark stains on the silky fabric.

Sr: "O, ne!
En: "Oh, no!"

Sr: " uzviknula je, žureći da uzme salvetu i počne da tapka po mrljama.
En: she exclaimed, rushing to grab a napkin and start dabbing at the stains.

Sr: Milos je izgledao iznenađeno, ali je brzo skrio svoj šok pod zaštitničkim osmehom.
En: Milos looked surprised, but quickly masked his shock with a protective smile.

Sr: "Nema veze, Ana.
En: "It's okay, Ana.

Sr: To je samo odelo," rekao je, šireći ruke u gestu koji je trebao da je umiri.
En: It's just a suit," he said, spreading his hands in a gesture meant to reassure her.

Sr: Ana se osećala užasno.
En: Ana felt awful.

Sr: Njena neopreznost uništila je Milosovu večer.
En: Her carelessness had ruined Milos's evening.

Sr: U međuvremenu, Petar, sada svestan haosa koji je izazvao, sišao je sa stola i priključio se njima.
En: Meanwhile, Petar, now aware of the chaos he had caused, got off the table and joined them.

Sr: "Evo šta ćemo," reče on uzbuđeno, "znam čoveka koji može da očisti to odelo.
En: "Here's what we'll do," he said excitedly.

Sr: Biće kao novo!
En: "I know a guy who can clean that suit.

Sr: "Milos se nasmešio i prihvatio Petrov predlog, ali Ana je još uvek bila tužna.
En: It'll be good as new!"

Sr: "Kako mogu da ti nadoknadim, Milos?
En: Milos smiled and agreed with Petar's suggestion, but Ana was still sad.

Sr: ", upitala je tiho.
En: "How can I make it up to you, Milos?"

Sr: Milos je pogledao prema bendu, a zatim nazad na Anu i Petra.
En: she asked softly.

Sr: "Najbolja nadoknada biće da sada svi zajedno odemo na podijum i plešemo.
En: Milos looked toward the band, then back at Ana and Petar.

Sr: Zaboravi na odelo, večeras je Petarova noć, hajde da je učinimo nezaboravnom.
En: "The best way to make it up to me would be for all of us to go to the dance floor now and dance together.

Sr: "Sa osmehom, Ana je prihvatila Milosovu ruku, a trio se pronašao u gomili na plesnom podijumu, uz smeh, cugu i ples zaboravili su na prolivenu rakiju.
En: Forget about the suit, tonight is Petar's night, let's make it unforgettable."

Sr: Anino srce se smirilo;
En: With a smile, Ana accepted Milos's hand, and the trio found themselves in the crowd on the dance floor, laughing, drinking, and dancing, they forgot about the spilled rakija.

Sr: prijateljstvo je popravilo i najsitnije nevolje.
En: Ana's heart calmed; friendship mended even the smallest troubles.

Sr: Kafana je odzvanjala njihovom radosti dok su igrali do kasno u noć, jer to je bila veče koje će pamtiti uprkos malom pehu.
En: The tavern echoed with their joy as they danced into the late night because it was an evening they would remember despite the small mishap.

Sr: Na kraju, samo su se smejali i pričali o novom kostimu koji će zajedno izabrati za Milosa.
En: In the end, they only laughed and talked about the new outfit they would choose together for Milos.
