Hr: Sunce je visoko sjelo na nebo i svoje zlatne zrake sijalo je na kamenom dragulju Jadrana - Dubrovniku.
En: The sun had risen high in the sky and its golden rays shone upon the Adriatic gemstone of Dubrovnik.

Hr: Ana, djevojka s osunčanim licem i veselim osmijehom, šetala je uskim ulicama ovog čarobnog grada, tražeći malo hladovine i osvježenja.
En: Ana, a girl with a sun-kissed face and a cheerful smile, walked along the narrow streets of this magical city, seeking a bit of shade and refreshment.

Hr: Na svom putovanju, naletjela je na šareni štand s natpisom "Gelato".
En: On her journey, she came across a colorful stand with a sign that read "Gelato."

Hr: Oči su joj se razveselile na taj prizor jer je osjećala potrebu za ledenom slasticom koja bi joj ohladila usne i pružila slatku utjehu.
En: Her eyes lit up at the sight as she felt the need for a frozen treat to cool her lips and provide sweet comfort.

Hr: "Jednu kuglu od vanilije i jednu od čokolade, molim," rekla je Ana, ne ugledavši lice prodavača dok je zamišljeno gledala u boje sladoleda.
En: "One scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate, please," Ana said, not paying attention to the face of the vendor as she gazed thoughtfully at the ice cream colors.

Hr: "Uhhh, mislim da ste malo pobrkali," začudit će se glas iza štanda.
En: "Uhhh, I think you might be a little mixed up," a voice from behind the stand would surprise her.

Hr: Ana je podigla pogled i ugledala Ivana, muškarca ne obučenog kao prodavač sladoleda, već u ležernoj majici i kratkim hlačama s fotoaparatom oko vrata.
En: Ana looked up and saw Ivan, a man not dressed as an ice cream seller but in a casual shirt and shorts with a camera around his neck.

Hr: Ana se nasmiješila, pomalo postiđena.
En: Ana smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Hr: "Oprostite, mislila sam da radite ovdje.
En: "I’m sorry, I thought you worked here.

Hr: Previdjela sam.
En: My mistake."

Hr: " Ivan se nasmijao, njegov osmijeh odavao je toplinu i razumijevanje.
En: Ivan laughed, his smile radiating warmth and understanding.

Hr: "Nema problema, desilo se i meni slično nedavno.
En: "No problem, I had a similar mix-up recently.

Hr: Ali ako želite, mogu vam pokazati pravu slastičarnicu s najboljim gelatom u gradu.
En: But if you’d like, I can show you a real gelato place with the best ice cream in town."

Hr: "Ana je veselo prihvatila ponudu.
En: Ana happily accepted the offer.

Hr: Zajedno su se prošetali do malene slastičarnice skrivene među starim zidinama.
En: Together, they strolled to a small gelato shop hidden among the old walls.

Hr: Nakon što su kupili sladoled, sjeli su na kameni zid s pogledom na kristalno plavo more.
En: After buying the ice cream, they sat on a stone wall overlooking the crystal blue sea.

Hr: Razgovarali su o putovanjima, o knjigama, o glazbi.
En: They talked about travels, books, and music.

Hr: Ani je bila sreća što je tako jednostavna zabuna prerasla u nešto lijepo.
En: Ana felt lucky that such a simple mistake had turned into something beautiful.

Hr: Ivan se pokazao kao izvanredan sugovornik i novi prijatelj.
En: Ivan proved to be an excellent conversationalist and a new friend.

Hr: Dok su se smijali i dijelili priče, sunce je polako počelo zalaziti, bojeći nebo i more u nijanse crvene i narančaste.
En: As they laughed and shared stories, the sun slowly began to set, painting the sky and sea in shades of red and orange.

Hr: Napokon, kada su posljednji zalogaji gelata nestali, Ana i Ivan su odlučili da će se opet susresti.
En: Finally, after the last spoonfuls of gelato had disappeared, Ana and Ivan decided they would meet again.

Hr: "Sljedeći put", Ana je kazala, "ja ću izabrati mjesto i ponudit ćeš ti prvi sladoled kao uspomenu na naš prvi susret.
En: "Next time," Ana said, "I’ll choose the place, and you will offer the first ice cream as a memento of our first meeting."

Hr: "Dogovorili su se i tako su se, s osmijehom na licu, rastali znajući da je grad Dubrovnik dobio novi prijateljski dvojac koji će, zahvaljujući jednoj neobičnoj zabuni, imati još mnogo slatkih trenutaka.
En: They made the agreement, parting ways with smiles on their faces, knowing that the city of Dubrovnik had gained a new friendly duo who, thanks to an unusual mix-up, would have many more sweet moments.
