"Ti si najbolja statua koju sam ikada vidio!"En: "What talent!" exclaimed Luka, tapping the man on the shoulder. "You are the best statue I've ever seen!"Hr: Ali umjetnik nije reagirao, baš kao prava statua.En: But the artist didn't react, just like a real statue.Hr: Luka, uvjeren da je statua stvarna, nastavio je pričati: "Znaš, ovo je prvi put da sam vidio nekoga da stoji tako dugo bez pomaka. Kako to radiš?"En: Convinced that the statue was real, Luka continued talking: "You know, this is the first time I've seen someone stand so still for so long. How do you do it?"Hr: Njegove riječi su odjeknule oko njega ali nikakav odgovor nije uslijedio.En: His words echoed around him, but no response came.Hr: Ivana i Matea su se počele smijati, gledajući kako Luka ozbiljno razgovara s nepomičnom figurom.En: Ivana and Matea started laughing, watching Luka having a serious conversation with the motionless figure.Hr: Šuškanje i tihi smijeh počeli su se širiti među slučajnim prolaznicima.En: Whispering and gentle laughter began to spread among the random passersby.Hr: Čak se i...
