U rukama je nosio papirnate vrećice ispunjene raznim namirnicama.En: As Ana pondered what to cook with the tomatoes, her good friend Marko walked by, carrying paper bags filled with various groceries.Hr: "Hej, Ana! Što to imaš?" upitao je Marko s osmijehom.En: "Hey, Ana! What do you have there?" Marko asked with a smile.Hr: Ana je odgovorila, smijući se svojoj grešci: "Kupila sam rajčice, iako mi je trebalo krumpira!"En: Laughing at her mistake, Ana replied, "I bought tomatoes, even though I needed potatoes!"Hr: Markov osmijeh se produbio i on je vragolasto pogledao prema Aninoj vrećici. "Znači, i ti si se danas prevarila? Ja sam htio kupiti jabuke, a kući sam donio krumpire!"En: Marko’s smile widened, and mischievously peered into Ana's bag. "So, you made a mistake today too? I wanted to buy apples, and I ended up bringing home potatoes!"Hr: Oboje su se počeli smijati kad je Marko dobio jednu od svojih značajnih ideja. "Znaš što? Zamijenimo se! Ti mi daj svoje rajčice, a ja ću tebi dati krumpire!"En: They both started laughing when Marko had one of his brilliant ideas. "You know what? Let's exchange! You give me your tomatoes, and I'll give you the potatoes!"Hr: Ana je kimnula, i kako su izmjenjivali vrećice, prošla je teta Marica koja je poznata po tome što rado zaviri u tuđe poslove.En: Ana nodded, and as they exchanged bags, they encountered Aunt Marica, known for her nosiness in other people's affairs.Hr: "Tko bi rekao, izgleda da je dolac danas mjesto za neobične razmjene!" dobacila je teta Marica, a njezin suhi komentar samo je dodao goriva njihovom veselju.En: "Who would have thought, it seems that today Dolac is a place for unusual exchanges!" Aunt Marica quipped, adding fuel to their merriment with her dry comment.
