En: A sunbeam gently caressed Centralno tržnico Ljubljana. Sl: Mateja, Boštjan in Tjaša so klepetali in se smejali, ko so stopali med pisane stojnice. En: Mateja, Boštjan, and Tjaša were chatting and laughing as they walked among the colorful stalls. Sl: Pomlad je razpršila dišeče vonjave svežih zelišč in cvetlic po zraku.
