"Bolje je držati se označenih staza. Ne znam koliko je to sigurno."En: Luka, however, was skeptical. "It's better to stick to the marked paths. I don't know how safe it is."Hr: Ana je bila između, želeći podržati prijatelje. "Možda bismo mogli barem malo istražiti," predložila je.En: Ana was in between, wanting to support her friends. "Maybe we could at least explore a little," she suggested.Hr: Ivana je pogledala u Luku i rekla: "Obećajem da će biti vrijedno. Prirodne ljepote i nevjerojatni prizori čekaju nas."En: Ivana looked at Luka and said, "I promise it will be worth it. Natural beauty and incredible sights await us."Hr: Luka je oklijevao, ali kako je Ana klimnula glavom, u sebi je odlučio pratiti ih, iako s oprezom.En: Luka hesitated, but as Ana nodded, he decided internally to follow them, albeit with caution.Hr: Krenuli su skrenuvši s označene staze, pažljivo osluškujući okolinu.En: They set off, turning off the marked path, carefully listening to their surroundings.Hr: Šuškanje lišća pod nogama pratilo je njihov put.En: The rustling of leaves underfoot guided their way.Hr: Dok su hodali dublje u šumu, teren je postao naporan.En: As they walked deeper into the forest, the terrain became demanding.Hr: Morali su se penjati preko stijena i prolaziti uske staze.En: They had to climb over rocks and navigate narrow paths.Hr: Ivana je prepoznavala izazov, ali njezina strast za avanturu gurala ih je naprijed.En: Ivana recognized the challenge, but her passion for adventure pushed them forward.Hr: Luka je pažljivo motrio svaku nogu koju je postavljao, pomažući gdje je mogao.En: Luka cautiously monitored every step, helping where he could.Hr: Najednom se ispred njih čuo šum vode, sve jači i jači.En: Suddenly, the sound of water became audible ahead, growing louder and louder.Hr: Ivana je poskočila od uzbuđenja. "Vidite, znala sam da ćemo ga pronaći!"En: Ivana jumped with excitement.
