V megleni, hladni jeseni je Tadej stopil iz avta na parkirišču v Triglavskem narodnem parku.

In the misty, cold autumn, Tadej stepped out of the car in the parking lot at Triglav National Park.

Njegovi pljuči sta se napolnili s svežim zrakom, prepojenim z vonjem mokrih listov.

His lungs filled with fresh air, infused with the scent of wet leaves.

Ob njem sta stala Nina in Luka, njegova najboljša prijatelja.

Beside him stood Nina and Luka, his best friends.

"To bo super pohod," je rekla Nina z navdušenjem v glasu.

"This will be a great hike," said Nina with excitement in her voice.

"Komaj čakam, da vidimo barve dreves!

"I can't wait to see the colors of the trees!"

"Luka je pregledal zemljevid.

Luka examined the map.

"Pot do vrha ni težka, le na nekaj mestih bolj strma," je rekel mirno.

"The path to the top isn't hard, just a bit steeper in a few places," he said calmly.

Tadeju je stisnilo srce.

Tadej's heart tightened.

Strah pred višino ga je vedno spremljal kot temna senca.

The fear of heights always followed him like a dark shadow.

Ni želel, da bi Luka in Nina izvedela za njegov strah.

He didn't want Luka and Nina to find out about his fear.

Troje prijateljev se je odpravilo po poti, ki je bila prekrita z rdečimi in zlatimi listi.

The three friends set off along the path covered with red and golden leaves.

Ob prihodu do strmejšega dela je Tadej začutil, kako mu srce bije hitreje.

Upon reaching the steeper part, Tadej felt his heart beat faster.

"Poglej to!

"Look at this!"

" je vzkliknila Nina, ko so se povzpeli na razgledno točko.

Nina exclaimed as they climbed to a viewpoint.

Pogled je bil spektakularen, toda Tadej je gledal stran.

The view was spectacular, but Tadej looked away.

Vse, kar je videl, je bila globina pod njim.

All he saw was the depth beneath him.

Medtem ko so hodili naprej, je Tadej vse težje skrival svoj strah.

As they continued walking, Tadej found it increasingly difficult to hide his fear.

"Pazi," je rekel Luka, ko je karta pokazala najstrmejši del poti.

"Watch out," said Luka as the map indicated the steepest part of the path.

Tadej se je ustavil.

Tadej stopped.

Njegove noge so postale trde kot kamen.

His legs felt as rigid as stone.

"Težko mi je," je tiho rekel.

"It's hard for me," he said quietly.

"Strah me je višine.

"I'm afraid of heights."

"Nina se je obrnila in ga prijela za ramo.

Nina turned and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Ni sramota biti prestrašen.

"There's no shame in being scared.

Skupaj smo v tem," je rekla.

We're in this together," she said.

Tadej je zbral pogum.

Tadej gathered his courage.

Počasi je stopil bližje robu, z vsakim korakom so ga spremljale besede podpore njegovih prijateljev.

Slowly, he stepped closer to the edge, with every step accompanied by his friends' words of support.

Ko je končno stal ob razgledu, je globoko vdihnil in pogledal dol.

When he finally stood at the viewpoint, he took a deep breath and looked down.

Slika valovitih hribov in dreves v vseh jesenskih odtenkih ga je napolnila z mirom.

The sight of the rolling hills and trees in all their autumn shades filled him with peace.

"Uau," je zašepetal.

"Wow," he whispered.

Tadej je občutil olajšanje.

Tadej felt relieved.

"Hvala," je rekel obema.

"Thank you," he said to both.

Sklenil je, da bo odslej bolj odprt glede svojih strahov.

He resolved to be more open about his fears from now on.

Skozi smeh in pogovor so prijatelji nadaljevali pohod in dosegli vrh.

With laughter and conversation, the friends continued the hike and reached the summit.

Dan, ki se je začel z negotovostjo, se je končal z močnim občutkom prijateljstva in poguma.

A day that started with uncertainty ended with a strong sense of friendship and bravery.

Na poti domov so si obljubili, da se kmalu vrnejo in raziskujejo nove poti.

On the way home, they promised each other to return soon and explore new paths.

Tadej se je nasmehnil.

Tadej smiled.

Vedel je, da z njima vedno lahko premaga vsak strah.

He knew that with them, he could always overcome any fear.
