Trip to nature – Izlet u prirodu

Last weekend Marko and his friends went to nature. They brought food, drinks and a barbecue. The weather was sunny and warm. They found a nice place by the river. The grass was green and the trees provided shade. Marko lit the fire for the barbecue. =
Prošlog vikenda Marko i njegovi prijatelji otišli su u prirodu. Poneli su hranu, piće i roštilj. Vreme je bilo sunčano i toplo. Našli su lepo mesto pored reke. Trava je bila zelena, a drveće je pravilo hladovinu. Marko je upalio vatru za roštilj.

Milica prepared the vegetables, and Luka made the salad. Peter set the table and chairs. The smell of roasted meat spread through nature. The birds were singing and the river was softly gurgling. =
Milica je pripremila povrće, a Luka je pravio salatu. Petar je postavio sto i stolice. Miris pečenog mesa širio se prirodom. Ptice su pevale, a reka je tiho žuborila.

Everyone was talking, laughing and playing board games. After lunch, Marko and Milica went for a walk by the river. Luka and Petar were playing football. In the afternoon, everyone drank coffee and ate cookies together. =
Svi su pričali, smejali se i igrali društvene igre. Posle ručka, Marko i Milica su otišli da šetaju pored reke. Luka i Petar su igrali fudbal. Popodne su svi zajedno pili kafu i jeli kolače.

The sun started to set. The friends slowly packed up and cleaned the place. They felt happy and relaxed. Marko said it was the best weekend this year. They agreed to come again next month. =
Sunce je počelo da zalazi. Prijatelji su polako spakovali stvari i očistili mesto. Osećali su se srećno i opušteno. Marko je rekao da je to bio najbolji vikend ove godine. Dogovorili su se da ponovo dođu sledećeg meseca.
