Matej exclaimed, pointing to the delicate flower growing near a rock.Sl: Bila je orhideja.En: It was an orchid.Sl: Nina je bila presenečena.En: Nina was surprised.Sl: "To si iskal?" je vprašala. Njene oči so kar sijale od zanimanja.En: "Is this what you were looking for?" she asked, her eyes shining with interest.Sl: "Da, to je redko," je pojasnil Matej s ponosom.En: "Yes, it's rare," explained Matej proudly.Sl: Nenadoma je Nina začutila navdušenje, ki ga je prej zamudila.En: Suddenly, Nina felt the excitement she had missed before.Sl: "Tako je lepo," je priznala.En: "It's so beautiful," she admitted.Sl: S sodelovanjem sta hitro končala projekt.En: Working together, they quickly finished the project.Sl: Na Veliko noč sta se vrnila v šolo in ga predala učitelju.En: On Easter they returned to school and submitted it to the teacher.Sl: Dobila sta pohvale in visoke ocene.En: They received praise and high grades.Sl: Matej je ugotovil, da je sodelovanje ključ do uspeha.En: Matej realized that collaboration is key to success.Sl: Nina je odkrila, da tudi akademski uspeh prinaša veliko zadovoljstvo.En: Nina discovered that academic success brings a lot of satisfaction too.Sl: Na koncu sta se oba naučila ceniti delo, ki ga je bilo potrebno vložiti.En: In the end, they both learned to appreciate the work that needed to be put in.Sl: Pot domov iz Triglavskega narodnega parka je bila polna smeha in novih spominov.En: The way back home from Triglavski narodni park was full of laughter and new memories.
