it's dangerous here," he said calmly.Sl: Učiteljica, gospa Novak, jih je opozorila, da ne smejo zapustiti skupine.En: Their teacher, Mrs. Novak, warned them not to leave the group.Sl: Nekatera območja so bila zaprta zaradi varnosti.En: Some areas were closed off for safety.Sl: Toda, ko so se premikali skozi starodavni amfiteater, je bil Vidov um popolnoma drugje.En: However, as they moved through the ancient amphitheater, Vid's mind was entirely elsewhere.Sl: Njegova domišljija je letela skozi stoletja.En: His imagination soared through the centuries.Sl: "Maja, Jure," je zašepetal in pokazal na ograjen del ruševin, "mislim, da je tam nekaj.En: "Maja, Jure," he whispered, pointing to a fenced-off part of the ruins, "I think there's something there."Sl: "Maja je stisnila oči, nekako kot mačka, ki zaznava plijen.En: Maja squinted, somewhat like a cat sensing its prey.Sl: "Pojdimo, Vid!En: "Let's go, Vid!"Sl: " je zašepetala.En: she whispered.Sl: Jure je zavzdihnil, vendar sta ga njuna vnema hitro premagala.En: Jure sighed, but their enthusiasm quickly won him over.Sl: "Prav, ampak hitro, preden nas kdo opazi," je rekel.En: "Okay, but let's hurry before someone notices us," he said.Sl: Vid je potrpežljivo našel pot mimo ovir.En: Vid patiently found a way past the obstacles.Sl: Srce mu je močno utripalo, ko so vstopili v prepovedano področje.En: His heart pounded as they entered the forbidden area.Sl: Kamnite osnove so bile porozne, polne skritih kotičkov.En: The stone foundations were porous, full of hidden nooks.Sl: Vidova intuicija ga je pripeljala do nenavadno oblikovanega kamna.En: Vid's intuition led him to an unusually shaped stone.Sl: Maja je veselo zavzdihnila, ko je našla star pergament, delno zakopan pod ruševinami.En: Maja gasped with excitement when she found an old parchment, partially buried under the rubble.Sl: Toda njihov uspeh ni bil dolgo skrivnost.En: But their success was not a secret for long.Sl: Zvok korakov je prekinil tišino in gospa Novak se je pojavila pred njimi.En: The sound of footsteps broke the silence, and Mrs. Novak appeared before them.Sl: "Kaj pa počnete tukaj?En: "What are you doing here?"Sl: " je vprašala, mešanica strogosti in presenečenja na njenem obrazu.En: she asked, a mix of sternness and surprise on her face.Sl: Vid je sramežljivo pokazal na pergament.En: Vid shyly pointed to the parchment.Sl: Namesto da bi bila jezna, je njihova učiteljica pokleknila in ga skrbno preučila.En: Instead of being angry, their teacher knelt down and examined it carefully.Sl: "To je izjemno odkritje," je rekla in toplo pogledala Vida.En: "This is an extraordinary discovery," she said, looking at Vid warmly.Sl: "Še nikoli nisem videla česa takega.En: "I've never seen anything like it."Sl: "Vid je začutil, da mu po žilah teče občutek ponosa.En: Vid felt a sense of pride flowing through his veins.Sl: Pravila so bila prekršena, toda nagrada je bila neprecenljiva.En: Rules had been broken, but the reward was priceless.Sl: Maja, Jure in on so se vrnili k skupini z novim spoznanjem – včasih je vredno tvegati, toda le, če se zavedaš posledic.En: Maja, Jure, and he returned to the group with a new understanding—sometimes it's worth taking risks, but only if you are aware of the consequences.Sl: Tisti dan se je njihovo prijateljstvo še bolj okrepilo.En: That day, their friendship grew even stronger.Sl: Vid je odšel domov z novim zaupanjem vase in še večjim zanimanjem za zgodovino.En: Vid went home with newfound confidence in himself and an even greater interest in history.Sl: Ljubljanske ruševine niso bile le starodavni kraj, temveč prostor, kjer je Vid našel delček samega sebe.En: The ruins of Ljubljana were not just an ancient site, but a place where Vid found a piece of himself.
