Sl: Nekoč, na sončno jesensko dopoldne, je trg Ljubljanska osrednja tržnica živel svoje živahno življenje.
En: Once, on a sunny autumn morning, the Ljubljana Central Market was bustling with life.

Sl: Stojnice so bile polne pisanih plodov, zrak pa je dišal po svežih začimbah in pečenem kostanju.
En: The stalls were filled with colorful fruits, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh spices and roasted chestnuts.

Sl: Ljudje različnih starosti so se prepletali med stojnicami in iskali najboljše dobrote za svoje domove.
En: People of different ages weaved through the stalls, searching for the best treats for their homes.

Sl: Med njimi so hodili trije prijatelji: Luka, Ana in Maja.
En: Among them walked three friends: Luka, Ana, and Maja.

Sl: Ana je bila visoke rasti s svetlimi lasmi, sicer pa zelo mirne narave.
En: Ana was tall with light hair and a calm nature.

Sl: Maja, živahna in vedno nasmejana, je hodila malo za Ano, opazovala okolico in se smejala Lukovim šalam.
En: Maja, lively and always smiling, walked just behind Ana, observing her surroundings and laughing at Luka's jokes.

Sl: Luka, najvišji in najbolj šaljiv izmed treh, je užival v opazovanju pisanih stojnic.
En: Luka, the tallest and most mischievous of the three, enjoyed observing the colorful stalls.

Sl: Ko so se sprehajali mimo stojnice s kostanjem, jih je pozdravil prodajalec z močnim glasom: "Dober dan, mladi! Poskusite naš slasten kostanj, sveže pečen!"
En: As they strolled past a chestnut stall, they were greeted by a vendor with a loud voice: "Good day, young ones! Try our delicious chestnuts, freshly roasted!"

Sl: Ana in Maja sta se prijazno nasmehnili, toda Luka je imel druge načrte. Opazil je ogromno bučo, ki je po obliki in barvi spominjala na Anino glavo, pokrito s kapo.
En: Ana and Maja smiled kindly, but Luka had other plans. He noticed a huge pumpkin that in shape and color resembled Ana's head covered with a hat.

Sl: "Oglejte si to bučo!" je v smehu rekel Luka in se obrnil proti Maji, misleč, da ima Ano še zmeraj ob sebi.
En: "Look at this pumpkin!" Luka said with laughter, turning to Maja, thinking Ana was still beside him.

Sl: Brez premisleka je potrepljal po "Anini glavi", a ugotovil, da je zgrešil in namesto tega potrepljal po hladni, trdi buči.
En: Without thinking, he patted the "head of Ana," only to realize that instead he had patted a cold, hard pumpkin.

Sl: V trenutku se je zaslišal glasen "bum", ko je buča padla na tla in se razletela na koščke.
En: In an instant, a loud "boom" was heard as the pumpkin fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Sl: Prodajalec, skupaj z okoliškimi obiskovalci, je z začudenjem in ogorčenjem opazoval dogajanje.
En: The vendor, along with other market visitors, watched in astonishment and dismay.

Sl: "Moja buča!" je zaklical prodajalec. "Kaj si storil, mladenič?"
En: "My pumpkin!" the vendor exclaimed. "What have you done, young man?"

Sl: Ana in Maja sta se zasmejali, ko sta videli Lukovo zadrego, medtem ko so drugi obiskovalci tržnice začeli mrmrati in debatirati o nenavadnem dogodku.
En: Ana and Maja laughed when they saw Luka's embarrassment, while other market visitors began muttering and debating the unusual event.

Sl: Luka je bil rdeč kot paradižnik in se iskreno opravičeval prodajalcu: "Oprostite, mislil sem, da je to glava moje prijateljice!"
En: Luka was as red as a tomato and sincerely apologized to the vendor: "I'm sorry, I thought it was my friend's head!"

Sl: Prodajalec, čeprav najprej jezen, ni mogel ostati resen ob takšni situaciji in je kmalu pristavil svoj smeh k Ani in Maji.
En: The vendor, though initially angry, couldn't stay serious in such a situation and soon joined in laughing with Ana and Maja.

Sl: Obiskovalci so se umirili, ko so videli, kako prijatelji skupaj čistijo nered in se smejijo zabavni zmešnjavi.
En: The visitors calmed down as they saw the friends cleaning up the mess together and laughing at the funny mix-up.

Sl: Nakoncu je Luka v znak sprave kupil drugo bučo in častil kostanj za vse tri.
En: In the end, as a gesture of reconciliation, Luka bought another pumpkin and treated everyone to chestnuts.

Sl: Smeh in dobra volja so pregnali prvotni nemir, prodajalec pa je dobil novo zgodbo, ki jo je lahko delil z drugimi.
En: Laughter and good spirits dispelled the initial unease, and the vendor had a new story to share with others.

Sl: Tako je dan na ljubljanski tržnici prinesel ne le kup dobrot, ampak tudi smešno pripetljaj, ki je še dolgo nasmejal Luko in njegove prijatelje
En: So, the day at the Ljubljana market brought not only a wealth of goodies but also a funny incident that kept Luka and his friends laughing for a long time.

Sl: vsakič ko so se spomnili na jesenski dan, ko je buča postala glava in trg smešnica prijateljstva in veselja.
En: Every time they remembered that autumn day, when a pumpkin became a head and the market became a scene of friendship and joy.
