Hr: Šuškanje vjetra kroz krošnje i šum vode iz daleka stvaraju umirujući zvuk.
En: The whispering of the wind through the treetops and the sound of distant water create a calming noise.
Hr: Plitvička jezera sijaju u bojama jeseni.
En: The Plitvička jezera shine in the colors of autumn.
Hr: Nikoleta hoda laganim korakom.

Hr: Njezino srce je još uvijek na nekom nemirnom putovanju.

Hr: Ljudi razgledavaju s velikim osmijesima.

En: Nikoleta feels how that bustle makes it difficult for her to achieve peace.

En: Walking among the stalls, she stops at one.
Hr: Maleno, ručno izrađeno platneno knjižica.
En: A small, handmade cloth notebook.
Hr: Papir miriše na svježe.
En: The paper smells fresh.
Hr: Osjeti zov.
En: She feels a call.
Hr: Kupuje je.
En: She buys it.
Hr: Možda će joj to pomoći da razumije tugu u sebi.
En: Maybe it will help her understand the sadness within her.
Hr: Kasnije sjedi uz mirno jezero.

Hr: Plavo nebo iznad nje, boje drveća u odrazu vode, sve izgleda jasnije.
