Sl: Nekega sončnega dne v Ljubljani, ko se je prebujala narava in je stara mestna arhitektura žarela v toplih žarkih, je Luka hitel skozi gnečo na Prešernovem trgu.
En: On a sunny day in Ljubljana, as nature was waking up and the old city architecture was glowing in the warm rays, Luka hurried through the crowd at Prešeren Square.

Sl: Ljudje so se smejali, otroci so tekali naokrog in ulični umetniki so risali na pločnik.
En: People were laughing, children were running around, and street artists were drawing on the pavement.

Sl: Luka je bil vesel, ker se je dogovoril za srečanje s svojo prijateljico Ano.
En: Luka was happy because he had arranged to meet his friend Ana.

Sl: Ana je bila Luki zelo pomembna, saj je bila vedno polna energije in nasmeha.
En: Ana was very important to Luka, as she was always full of energy and smiles.

Sl: Med hitenjem skozi trg, Luka opazi osebo, za katero misli, da je Ana.
En: While rushing through the square, Luka noticed a person he thought was Ana.

Sl: Oblečena je bila v svetla oblačila in njeni lasje so se svetili na soncu.
En: She was dressed in bright clothes and her hair was shining in the sun.

Sl: Brez premisleka je stekel proti njej s široko odprtimi rokami in jo močno objel, rekoč, "Ana, kako lepo te je videti!"
En: Without thinking, he ran towards her with wide-open arms and hugged her tightly, saying, "Ana, how nice to see you!"

Sl: A ko se ozre na obraz osebe, ki jo objema, opazi, da to sploh ni Ana, ampak Maja, županja Ljubljane.
En: But when he looked at the person's face he was hugging, he realized it wasn't Ana at all, but Maja, the mayor of Ljubljana.

Sl: Ob tem nenavadnem srečanju je bila Maja sprva presenečena, a kmalu se je sprostila in se začela smejati.
En: At this unusual encounter, Maja was initially surprised, but soon relaxed and started laughing.

Sl: Luka je ob tem postal rdeč kot pesa in se zmeden opravičil, "Oprostite, gospa županja, resnično sem mislil, da ste moja prijateljica."
En: Luka turned as red as a beet and awkwardly apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, I really thought you were my friend."

Sl: Maja je z razumevanjem pokimala.
En: Maja nodded understandingly.

Sl: Nasmehnila se je in rekla, "Nič hudega, Luka, saj imava vendar skupno prijateljico, Ano."
En: She smiled and said, "No harm done, Luka. After all, we have a mutual friend, Ana."

Sl: Luka je začudeno pogledal, "Poznate Ano?"
En: Luka looked puzzled, "You know Ana?"

Sl: "Seveda," je dejala Maja, "je moja svetovalka in dobra prijateljica. Z njo sva pravkar na poti na kavo."
En: "Of course," said Maja, "she is my advisor and a good friend. We were just on our way to get coffee."

Sl: Luka se je nasmehnil in se umiril.
En: Luka smiled and calmed down.

Sl: V tem trenutku je pristopila Ana, v smehu opazovala prizor in rekla: "No, Luka, zdaj vsaj poznaš županjo malo bolje!"
En: At that moment, Ana approached, observing the scene with laughter and said, "Well, Luka, now at least you know the mayor a little better!"

Sl: Vsi skupaj so se zasmejali in se odpravili na kavo.
En: They all laughed together and headed for coffee.

Sl: Med pogovorom je Luka spoznal, da je lahko napaka včasih priložnost za nova poznanstva in da je Ljubljana polna presenečenj.
En: During the conversation, Luka realized that a mistake can sometimes be an opportunity for new acquaintances and that Ljubljana is full of surprises.

Sl: Na koncu srečanja je Maja Luko povabila, naj se kot prostovoljec udeleži prihajajočega mestnega festivala, kar je Luka z veseljem sprejel.
En: At the end of the meeting, Maja invited Luka to participate as a volunteer in an upcoming city festival, which Luka gladly accepted.

Sl: Kako lepa napaka je bila ta zmešnjava!
En: What a beautiful mistake this mix-up was!

Sl: Sredi živahnega trga so se stkele nove vezi in Luka je zapuščal trg bogatejši za eno zgodbo, ki jo bo pripovedoval prijateljem.
En: New bonds were formed amidst the lively square, and Luka left richer by one story to tell his friends.

Sl: Hkrati pa je vedel, da bo Ljubljana vedno mesto presenečenj in prijateljstev.
En: At the same time, he knew that Ljubljana will always be a place of surprises and friendships.
