Njegova košulja je sad imala veliku smeđu mrlju, a razgovor za posao je bio za manje od sat vremena.En: He was horrified! His shirt now had a large brown stain, and the job interview was less than an hour away.Hr: Petra, koja je već bila na putu, brzo je došla do Marina.En: Petra, who was already on her way, quickly reached Marin.Hr: Vidjela je njegovo očajanje i odmah je počela razmišljati o rješenjima.En: She saw his distress and immediately started thinking of solutions.Hr: Moramo nešto brzo smisliti, možda jaknu preko?En: We need to come up with something quickly, maybe a jacket over it?Hr: No, Marinova jakna nije bila dovoljno duga da prekrije mrlju.En: However, Marin's jacket wasn't long enough to cover the stain.Hr: Taman kad su mislili da su bez opcija, Ivan, Marinov dobri prijatelj, prolazio je pored njih i primijetio problem.En: Just when they thought they were out of options, Ivan, Marin's good friend, happened to pass by and noticed the problem.Hr: Ivan je radio u trgovini rasvjetnim tijelima par ulica dalje i imao je neobičan, ali možda učinkovit prijedlog.En: Ivan worked at a lighting store a few streets away and had an unusual but possibly effective suggestion.Hr: Što kažeš na to da staviš lampu u obliku šešira na glavu? Bit ćeš originalan i pokrit ćeš mrlju.En: What if you put a hat-shaped lamp on your head? It will be original and cover the stain,Hr: rekao je Ivan uz osmijeh.En: Ivan said with a smile.Hr: U početku, Marin je mislio da se Ivan šali, ali shvatio je da nema vremena za gubljenje.En: At first, Marin thought Ivan was joking, but he realized there was no time to waste.Hr: Sa smiješkom na licu i lampom na glavi, Marin je stigao u firmu.En: With a smile on his face and the lamp on his head, Marin arrived at the company.Hr: Kada je ušao u ured, svi su se okrenuli.En: When he entered the office, everyone turned to look at him.Hr: Izgledao je neobično, ali u isto vrijeme i smjelo.En: He looked unusual but at the same time bold.Hr: Intervjuator ga je s osmijehom pitao o lampi, a Marin je iskoristio priliku da ispriča svoju nevjerojatnu jutarnju avanturu.En: The interviewer asked him about the lamp with a smile, and Marin took the opportunity to tell his incredible morning...
