Sl: V sončnem popoldnevu je Luka s prijateljema Majo in Ano obiskal reko Ljubljanico, ki je tiho tekla skozi staro mestno jedro Ljubljane.
En: On a sunny afternoon, Luka visited the Ljubljanica river with his friends Maja and Ana, which quietly flowed through the old city center of Ljubljana.

Sl: Imel je načrt: pokazati jim bo, kako vešče lahko upravlja s kajakom.
En: He had a plan: to show them how skillfully he could handle a kayak.

Sl: Stali so na lesenem pomolu blizu Zmajsk
En: They stood on a wooden dock near the Dragon Bridge, while tourists strolled along the river, admiring the city's beauty.

Sl: ega mosta, turisti pa so se sprehajali ob reki in občudovali lepote mesta.
En: ega mosta, turisti pa so se sprehajali ob reki in občudovali lepote mesta.

Sl: Luka je oblečen v neoprensko obleko skočil v svoj moder kajak, prijateljici pa sta ga navdušeno opazovali.
En: Dressed in a neoprene suit, Luka jumped into his blue kayak, while his friends watched with enthusiasm.

Sl: Veslal je z lahkoto, sunki pa so bili močni in usklajeni.
En: He paddled effortlessly, with strong and coordinated strokes.

Sl: Maja in Ana sta mu mahali in vzklikali spodbudne besede.
En: Maja and Ana waved and cheered encouraging words.

Sl: Vendar pa je Luka hotel pokazati še več.
En: However, Luka wanted to show even more.

Sl: Odločil se je za drzen manever – obrniti kajak na glavo in spet nazaj.
En: He decided to perform a daring maneuver – to flip the kayak upside down and then back again.

Sl: Prijateljici sta zadržali dih, Luka pa je z veslom močno sunil po vodi.
En: His friends held their breath, while Luka vigorously paddled the water.

Sl: A na njegovo presenečenje se kajak ni obrnil po načrtu.
En: To his surprise, the kayak didn't flip as planned.

Sl: Namesto tega se je prevrnil, Luka pa je padel v hladno reko.
En: Instead, it capsized, and Luka fell into the cold river.

Sl: Voda je bila presenetljivo mrzla, veslo pa je odplavalo stran od njega.
En: The water was surprisingly chilly, and his paddle drifted away from him.

Sl: Nenadoma je Luka v neoprenu plaval po toku Ljubljanice, mimo radovednih oči sprehajalcev, ki niso mogli zadržati smeha.
En: Suddenly, Luka was swimming in his neoprene suit along the flow of the Ljubljanica, past the curious gazes of passersby who couldn't hold back their laughter.

Sl: Na obrazih mimoidočih se je risal nasmeh, nekateri pa so celo pričeli s telefoni snemati ta nenavadni prizor.
En: Smiles appeared on the faces of the onlookers, and some even began recording this unusual sight with their phones.

Sl: Maja in Ana nista vedeli, ali bi se smejali ali bili zaskrbljeni.
En: Maja and Ana didn't know whether to laugh or be worried.

Sl: Hitro sta tekli ob reki in vzpodbujali Luko, naj plava k bregu.
En: They quickly ran alongside the river, encouraging Luka to swim toward the shore.

Sl: A Luka je bil nepopustljiv – hotel je nazaj na kajak.
En: But Luka was determined – he wanted to get back to the kayak.

Sl: Z mokrimi rokami je zagrabil svoj kajak, ki je bil obrnjen na bok ob rečnem bregu.
En: With wet hands, he grabbed his kayak lying on its side by the riverbank.

Sl: Z nekaj truda in nekaj poskusi je na veselje občinstva spet sedel v kajak.
En: To the delight of the audience, he managed to sit back in the kayak after some effort and a few attempts.

Sl: Tokrat je veslal bolj previdno, s strahospoštovanjem do tihotapke reke.
En: This time, he paddled more cautiously, with a newfound respect for the clandestine river.

Sl: Dan se je prevesil proti večeru. Luka, Maja in Ana so se nasmejani sprehajali skozi staro mestno jedro, kjer so delili zgodbo o Luku, ki je postal atrakcija reke.
En: As the day turned into evening, Luka, Maja, and Ana strolled through the old city center, sharing the story of Luka, who had become a river attraction.

Sl: Luka je obljubil, da bo naslednjič bolj previden in se je iz dneva naučil pomembno lekcijo – reka je zmeraj nepredvidljiva.
En: Luka promised to be more careful next time and had learned an important lesson – the river is always unpredictable.

Sl: Zgodba se je zaključila z iskrenimi nasmehi, obljubo Luku, da bo postal še boljši kajakaš, in v znanju, da smeh in dobra družba spreobrnejo vsak trenutek v nepozabno doživetje.
En: The story concluded with genuine smiles, Luka's promise to become an even better kayaker, and the understanding that laughter and good company turn every moment into an unforgettable experience.
