Sr: Bilo je to vedro prolećno popodne u Beogradu, daleko od uobičajene gužve i brzine gradskog života.
En: It was a clear spring afternoon in Belgrade, far from the usual hustle and bustle of city life.

Sr: U malom kafiću na uglu ulice, koji je vlasništvo Marka, vladala je posebna vrsta mira.
En: In a small café on the street corner, owned by Marko, a special kind of peace reigned.

Sr: Jovan je bio dečko koji je voleo igre više od svega na svetu.
En: Jovan was a boy who loved games more than anything in the world.

Sr: Njegova prijateljica Milica, koja je često dolazila u kafić da druži svog hrčka Miću, tog dana nije ni slutila šta će se dogoditi.
En: His friend Milica, who often came to the café to spend time with her hamster Mića, had no idea what was going to happen that day.

Sr: "Dobro jutro, Marko!
En: "Good morning, Marko!

Sr: Da li mogu da donesem Miću u kafić danas?
En: Can I bring Mića to the café today?"

Sr: " upitala je Milica ulazeći.
En: Milica asked as she walked in.

Sr: "Jasno, Milice!
En: "Of course, Milica!

Sr: Mića je već kao deo porodice ovde," odgovorio je Marko sa smeškom.
En: Mića is already like a part of the family here," Marko responded with a smile.

Sr: Jovan je već bio unutra, spremno čekajući početak igre skrivača koju su planirali.
En: Jovan was already inside, eagerly waiting for the start of the game of hide and seek they had planned.

Sr: "Hajde da igramo skrivača!
En: "Let's play hide and seek!"

Sr: " vikao je dok je trčao oko stolova.
En: he shouted as he ran around the tables.

Sr: Marko je samo odmahnuo glavom.
En: Marko just shook his head.

Sr: "Samo pripazite da ne lomite ništa," rekao je dok je sipao kafu nekom stalnom gostu.
En: "Just be careful not to break anything," he said as he poured coffee for a regular customer.

Sr: Igra je počela.
En: The game began.

Sr: Milica je stavila Miću na sigurno mesto na jednoj policama sa biljkama, pa je pojurila da se sakrije.
En: Milica put Mića in a safe place on a shelf with plants and then hurried to hide.

Sr: Jovan nije video gdje je Milica smestila svog hrčka i pomislio je da je to pored Miće neka čudna plišana igračka.
En: Jovan didn't see where Milica had placed her hamster and thought that the strange plush toy next to Mića was just a part of the game.

Sr: Kada je Jovanom došao red da traži, on je video "igračku" i uzeo je u ruke, smejući se.
En: When it was Jovan's turn to seek, he saw the "toy" and picked it up, laughing.

Sr: Međutim, Mića se prepao i iskočio iz Jovanovih dlanova, počevši da beži po kafiću.
En: However, Mića got scared and leaped out of Jovan's hands, starting to run around the café.

Sr: Uskoro je kafić bio u potpunom haosu.
En: Soon, the café was in complete chaos.

Sr: Gosti su vrištali, skakali na stolice, dok je Marko trčao za Mićom pokušavajući da uhvati hrčka pre nego što napravi veću štetu.
En: Guests screamed, jumped onto chairs, while Marko chased after Mića trying to catch the hamster before it caused more damage.

Sr: Milica je izletela iz svog skrovišta i počela da viče, "Mića, vrati se!
En: Milica burst out of her hiding spot and started yelling, "Mića, come back!"

Sr: " ali hrčak je samo trčao sve brže pod stolove i stolice.
En: but the hamster just ran faster under the tables and chairs.

Sr: Nakon nekoliko ludih minuta, Jovan je shvatio da mora da ispravi svoju grešku.
En: After a few crazy minutes, Jovan realized he had to correct his mistake.

Sr: Odlučio je da se spusti na pod, ne mrdajući, postavši miran kako bi privukao hrčka.
En: He decided to crouch down on the floor without moving, becoming calm to attract the hamster.

Sr: Milica je u međuvremenu donela malu kutiju sa Mićinom omiljenom hranom i stavila je pored Jovana.
En: In the meantime, Milica brought a small box of Mića's favorite food and placed it next to Jovan.

Sr: Mirisi ukusne hrane nazad su privukli Miću.
En: The smell of the delicious food lured Mića back.

Sr: Polako, oprezno, hrčak je prilazio kutiji, a zatim je ušao unutar nje tražeći poslasticu.
En: Slowly, cautiously, the hamster approached the box, and then entered it in search of the treat.

Sr: Milica je brzo zatvorila kutiju i uzela Miću u ruke.
En: Milica quickly closed the box and took Mića in her hands.

Sr: "Hvala ti, Jovane, što si pomogao spasiti Miću," rekla je sa olakšanjem.
En: "Thank you, Jovan, for helping to save Mića," she said with relief.

Sr: Marko se nasmejao i uzdahnuo sa olakšanjem.
En: Marko laughed and sighed with relief.

Sr: "Vaša skrivača može da nas stavi u nevolje, moji mali prijatelji.
En: "Your hide and seek game can get us into trouble, my little friends.

Sr: Ali sve se dobro završilo.
En: But everything turned out well."

Sr: "Od tog dana, Jovan je bio mnogo oprezniji kada je u pitanju identifikovanje igračaka, a Markov kafić je sam poboljšao svoje mere bezbednosti za male životinje.
En: From that day on, Jovan was much more careful when it came to identifying toys, and Marko's café even improved its safety measures for small animals.

Sr: I tako, svi su se ponovo nasmejali i nastavili sa svojim danom, obećavajući da će sledeća igra skrivača biti bez neočekivanih iznenađenja.
En: And so, everyone laughed again and continued with their day, promising that the next game of hide and seek would be free of unexpected surprises.
