Sl: Na lep sončen dan je Luka odšel na Ljubljansko osrednjo tržnico.
En: On a beautiful sunny day, Luka went to the Central Market in Ljubljana.

Sl: Vedno je rad hodil tja, saj so ga barve svežega sadja in zelenjave ter prijazni obrazi prodajalcev napolnili z veseljem.
En: He always enjoyed going there, as the colors of fresh fruits and vegetables and the friendly faces of the vendors filled him with joy.

Sl: Luka je bil znan po tem, da je rad šalil in vedno poiskal razlog za smeh.
En: Luka was known for his love of jokes and always finding a reason to laugh.

Sl: Na tržnici je bilo živahno, kot vedno.
En: The market was bustling, as always.

Sl: Ljudje so se prebijali mimo stojnic, izmenjevali recepte in klepetali.
En: People were weaving past the stalls, exchanging recipes, and chatting.

Sl: Luka je s košaro v roki iskal najboljše kose zelenjave za svojo večerjo.
En: Luka, with a basket in hand, was looking for the best pieces of vegetables for his dinner.

Sl: Zagledal je stojnico, kjer so prodajali čudovite glave zelja.
En: He spotted a stall selling gorgeous heads of cabbage.

Sl: Nekatere so bile tako velike in sveže, da so bile skoraj podobne cvetom.
En: Some were so big and fresh that they almost resembled flowers.

Sl: Ko je Luka stopil bližje stojnici, je opazil ozadje glave, ki je bilo nenavadno podobno zelju.
En: As Luka approached the stall, he noticed the background of a head of cabbage that looked remarkably similar to the cabbage itself.

Sl: Pomislil je, da je to lahko zabaven način, da preseneti svojo prijateljico Ano, ki naj bi ga danes srečala na tržnici.
En: He thought it could be a fun way to surprise his friend Ana, who was supposed to meet him at the market that day.

Sl: V duhu šale je prišel od zadaj, položil roko na zelenjavo in v smehu zaklical: "Oh, Ana, kako sveže izgledaš danes!
En: In the spirit of jest, he snuck up from behind, placed his hand on the vegetable, and jokingly exclaimed, "Oh, Ana, you look so fresh today!"

Sl: "Njegovo presenečenje je bilo veliko, ko se je obrnila okoli neznanka, ki ni bila Ana, ampak starejša gospa s strogim pogledom.
En: To his surprise, when the person turned around, it was not Ana but an older woman with a stern look.

Sl: Ljudje okoli njih so se zasmejali in Luka je obraz zajel rdečica sramu.
En: People around them laughed, and Luka's face turned red with embarrassment.

Sl: Gospa ga je začudeno pogledala in odmahnila z roko, nejevoljno mumljaje nekaj o mladini danes.
En: The woman looked at him in astonishment and waved her hand, grumbling something disapproving about the youth today.

Sl: "Oprostite, mislil sem, da ste moja prijateljica," je hitel popravljati situacijo Luka.
En: "Excuse me, I thought you were my friend," Luka quickly tried to rectify the situation.

Sl: V tistem se je zaslišal smeh za njim in Ana je stopila iz množice.
En: At that moment, laughter was heard behind him, and Ana emerged from the crowd.

Sl: "Luka, vedno uspeš zabavati ljudi!
En: "Luka, you always manage to entertain people!"

Sl: " je dejala med smehom.
En: she said, laughing.

Sl: Prijatelja sta si izmenjala iskrene nasmeške in Luka je pojasnil zabavno zmoto.
En: The friends exchanged sincere smiles, and Luka explained the amusing mix-up.

Sl: Ana je z njim delila smisel za humor in skupaj sta se smejala nezgodi.
En: Ana shared his sense of humor, and they laughed together about the mishap.

Sl: Ljudje okoli njiju so spremljali dogajanje in smeh je združil vse prisotne, ki so še kar čas krotili nasmeh na obrazih.
En: The people around them watched, and laughter united everyone present, keeping smiles on their faces for a while.

Sl: Kupila sta si sveže sadeže in zelenjavo, se pogovarjala o najljubših receptih in preživela preostanek dneva v prijetni družbi, občasno pripovedujeta mimoidočim o Lukovi nesrečni zamenjavi.
En: They bought fresh fruits and vegetables, talked about their favorite recipes, and spent the rest of the day in pleasant company, occasionally telling passersby about Luka's unfortunate mix-up.

Sl: Ko sta se poslovila, je Luka pomislil, kako pomembno je ohraniti smisel za humor, tudi ko se stvari ne iztečejo povsem po načrtih.
En: As they said goodbye, Luka thought about how important it is to maintain a sense of humor, even when things don't go exactly as planned.

Sl: Ana pa je odšla domov z mislijo, da takšni trenutki naredijo življenje še bolj zabavno.
En: Ana went home thinking that such moments make life even more enjoyable.

Sl: In tako je zelje, ki je za hip postalo Anina dvojnica, na njunem obrazu pustila trajen nasmeh.
En: And so, the cabbage that briefly became Ana's double left a lasting smile on their faces.
