Hr: " rekao je ljutito.
En: he said angrily.

Hr: "Ne može, to je dio naše povijesti," odgovorila je hrabro Ivana.

En: "Maybe we should talk to the park manager."

Hr: "Vratili su se s artefaktom do muzeja.
En: They returned with the artifact to the museum.

Hr: Restora je odlučio da artefakt ostane u muzeju, ali s novim pričama koje bi starac podijelio o njegovoj obitelji.
