him, each with their own errands and desires.Sl: Njegov seznam sestavin je bil jasen: sveža zelenjava, dišeča zelišča in najlepši kos mesa.En: His list of ingredients was clear: fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and the finest cut of meat.Sl: Toda stojn, ki jih je načrtoval obiskati, so bili že skoraj prazni.En: However, the stalls he planned to visit were already nearly empty.Sl: Skrbi so se

cook, but he never believed them.Sl: Zdaj pa je imel priložnost to dokazati.En: Now he had a chance to prove it.Sl: Šel je od stojnice do stojnice, vendar so bile police skoraj prazne.En: He went from stall to stall, but the shelves were almost empty.Sl: Nato je opazil manjšo stojnico na koncu tržnice, skrito za večjimi.En: Then he noticed a smaller stall at the end of the market, hidden behind the larger ones.Sl: Bližala se mu je tudi prijazna starejša gospa, ki je prodajala tisto, kar je Anže iskal.En: Approaching him was a kind older lady who was selling exactly what Anže was looking for.Sl: Na njeni stojnici je bila košarica z zrelimi paradižniki, svežo baziliko in nekaj najboljših klobas.En: On her stall was a basket with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and some of the best sausages.Sl: Anže se je skoraj že odločil, ko je zaslišal a glas poleg sebe: druga stranka je prav tako pogledovala po košarici.En: Anže was nearly decided when he heard a voice next to him: another customer was also eyeing the basket.Sl: Srce mu je začelo hitreje biti.En: His heart started beating faster.Sl: "Moram ukrepati zdaj," je pomislil.En: "I have to act now," he thought.Sl: Stopil je naprej in z nežnim, a odločnim glasom vprašal gospo: "Ali lahko kupim to košarico?En: He stepped forward and with a gentle but firm voice asked the lady, "Can I buy this basket?Sl: Resnično potrebujem te sestavine.En: I really need these ingredients."Sl: " Prijazna gospa se je nasmehnila in rekla: "Seveda, mladenič.En: The kind lady smiled and said, "Of course, young man.Sl: Vidim, da si strasten kuhar.En: I see you are a passionate cook.Sl: Naj ti dobro uspe.En: May it all go well for you."Sl: "S ponosom je Anže prijel svojo košarico.En: With pride, Anže grabbed his basket.Sl: Ko se je vračal domov, je čutil olajšanje in navdušenje.En: As he returned home, he felt relief and excitement.Sl: Prvič je čutil, da je sposoben sprejeti odločitve in zaupal svojim veščinam.En: For the first time,
