Story Transcript:

Hr: Plitvička jezera bila su divna u jesen.
En: Plitvička jezera were beautiful in the fall.

Hr: Lišće je mijenjalo boje, a voda je tiho žuborila preko slapova.
En: The leaves were changing colors, and the water gently murmured over the waterfalls.

Hr: No, ovdje nije bilo sve mirno.
En: However, not everything was peaceful there.

Hr: Tajanstveni zvukovi odjekivali su kroz park.
En: Mysterious sounds echoed through the park.

Hr: Posjetitelji su bili nemirni, razmišljajući o duhovima.
En: Visitors felt uneasy, pondering about ghosts.

Hr: Ivana je bila znatiželjna biologinja.
En: Ivana was a curious biologist.

Hr: Voljela je životinje i prirodu, ali imala je malu dozu straha od nadnaravnog.
En: She loved animals and nature, but had a slight fear of the supernatural.

Hr: Svake noći prije spavanja razmišljala je o zvukovima.
En: Every night before falling asleep, she thought about the sounds.

Hr: Jesu li to duhovi?
En: Were those ghosts?

Hr: Ne, ona nije vjerovala u takve stvari.
En: No, she didn't believe in such things.

Hr: Morala je pronaći izvor.
En: She had to find the source.

Hr: Stjepan je bio čuvar parka.
En: Stjepan was a park ranger.

Hr: Nije puno mario za priče o duhovima.
En: He didn't care much for ghost stories.

Hr: Znao je park kao svoj dlan i nije vjerovao u mistične priče.
En: He knew the park like the back of his hand and didn't believe in mystical tales.

Hr: Ali Ivana je bila odlučna.
En: But Ivana was determined.

Hr: Htjela je pronaći izvor zvukova.
En: She wanted to find the source of the sounds.

Hr: Stjepan je slegnuo ramenima.
En: Stjepan shrugged his shoulders.

Hr: "Ako ideš, idem i ja," rekao je.
En: "If you go, I go too," he said.

Hr: Te noći, park je bio tih.
En: That night, the park was quiet.

Hr: Samo je povjetarac šuštao kroz grmlje.
En: Only the breeze rustled through the bushes.

Hr: Mjesec je obasjavao put, dok su Ivana i Stjepan hodali kroz šumu.
En: The moon lit the way as Ivana and Stjepan walked through the forest.

Hr: Zvukovi su postajali sve glasniji.
En: The sounds grew louder.

Hr: Bilo je nešto iza grma.
En: There was something behind the bush.

Hr: Polako su se približili.
En: They approached slowly.

Hr: Na tlu su našli pticu.
En: On the ground, they found a bird.

Hr: Bila je rijetka i ozlijeđena.
En: It was rare and injured.

Hr: Njezin plač bio je izvor zvukova.
En: Its cries were the source of the sounds.

Hr: Uhvatila se u zamku lovca.
En: It had gotten caught in a hunter's trap.

Hr: Ivana i Stjepan brzo su oslobodili pticu.
En: Ivana and Stjepan quickly freed the bird.

Hr: Stjepan je znao da moraju obavijestiti vlasti.
En: Stjepan knew they had to inform the authorities.

Hr: Sljedećeg jutra, vijesti o poacheru proširile su se parkom.
En: The next morning, news about the poacher spread through the park.

Hr: Glasine o duhovima polako su nestajale.
En: The rumors about ghosts slowly faded.

Hr: Ivana se osjećala ponosno.
En: Ivana felt proud.

Hr: Prevladala je svoj strah.
En: She had overcome her fear.

Hr: Stjepan je bio impresioniran.
En: Stjepan was impressed.

Hr: Priroda je bila puna tajni koje nije mogao objasniti.
En: Nature was full of secrets he couldn’t explain.

Hr: Dok su odlazili iz parka, Ivana i Stjepan osjećali su se mirno.
En: As they left the park, Ivana and Stjepan felt at peace.

Hr: Uvijek će postojati misterije, ali sada su znali da su oni tu da ih otkriju.
En: There would always be mysteries, but now they knew they were there to uncover them.

Hr: Plitvice su ponovno bile mirne, a lišće je nastavilo padati, prekrivajući put u zlato.
En: Plitvice were peaceful again, and the leaves continued to fall, covering the path in gold.
