Story Transcript:

Sr: На крају улице, међу уредним кућицама окруженим цветним баштама, станује Милан, самопроглашени мајстор.
En: At the end of the street, among the neat little houses surrounded by flower gardens, lives Milan, a self-proclaimed handyman.

Sr: Пролеће је стигло у Београд, и мирис свеже покошене траве испуњава ваздух.
En: Spring has arrived in Beograd, and the scent of freshly cut grass fills the air.

Sr: Улице су уске, а живот суседа протиче ужурбано, док чисте и уређују дворишта.
En: The streets are narrow, and the neighbors' lives are bustling as they clean and tidy their yards.

Sr: Милан је провео јутро гледајући ТВ шопинг канал.
En: Milan spent the morning watching a TV shopping channel.

Sr: Била је то реклама за нову сателитску антену коју сада жели да инсталира на крову.
En: It was an advertisement for a new satellite dish that he now wants to install on his roof.

Sr: Уверен у своје вештине „уради сам“ мајстора, одлучио је да се прихвати посла без читања упутстава.
En: Confident in his "do-it-yourself" skills, he decided to take on the task without reading the instructions.

Sr: Док се пео на кров своје куће, суседи Јелена и Борис га прате погледом из својих башта.
En: As he climbed onto his house's roof, neighbors Jelena and Boris watched him from their gardens.

Sr: Јелена носи корпу цвећа, а Борис поправља ограду.
En: Jelena was carrying a basket of flowers, and Boris was fixing the fence.

Sr: Милан почиње са радом, али његови алати стално падају на кровне црепове које је незграпно распоредила његова сигурна нога.
En: Milan began working, but his tools kept falling on the roofing tiles that his sure foot had clumsily arranged.

Sr: „Милане, да ти не помогнем?
En: "Milane, do you need a hand?"

Sr: “ повика Јелена са осмехом.
En: Jelena called out with a smile.

Sr: „Ма, знам ја то Боље,“ одговори Милан самоуверено, а у његовом гласу чула се доза забринутости коју су само искуством превазишли.
En: "Nah, I know this better," Milan replied confidently, though his voice carried a hint of concern that only experience could overcome.

Sr: Али онда, услед недостатка пажње, Милан случајно закачи канап од цветних саксија стајалих на крову.
En: But then, due to a lack of attention, Milan accidentally snagged the string of flower pots placed on the roof.

Sr: Цветови падају попут домина, стварајући праву збрку, а Милан скоро испадне с крова.
En: The flowers fell like dominoes, creating a real mess, and Milan almost fell off the roof.

Sr: Уз много напора, задржа се на стамбени кућу.
En: With great effort, he managed to cling to the house.

Sr: Чудом, спојио је сателитску антену у правом смеру.
En: By some miracle, he connected the satellite dish in the right direction.

Sr: Суседи и пролазници који су се сакупили углас су се смејали.
En: Neighbors and passersby who had gathered laughed out loud.

Sr: Милан, иако се мало стидео, осмејнуо се задовољно.
En: Milan, though slightly embarrassed, smiled contentedly.

Sr: Антена је радила савршено.
En: The dish worked perfectly.

Sr: „Што каже Борис, бар си нас насмејао,“ рече Јелена док му је додавала пар испалих алата.
En: "As Boris said, at least you made us laugh," Jelena said while handing him some of the fallen tools.

Sr: Милан се спустио са крова, мрмљајући себи: „Можда следећи пут и прочитам упутства.
En: Milan climbed down from the roof, muttering to himself, "Maybe next time I'll read the instructions."

Sr: “ Ипак, сложио се у тајности да је лепо бити у средишту пажње, а суседи су имали још једну причу коју ће дуго препричавати.
En: Still, he secretly agreed that it was nice to be the center of attention, and the neighbors had yet another story to tell for a long time.

Paid for five Virginians for fair elections. Here at the Zebra, research shows the average person would rather endure a root canal than search for auto and home insurance. Just try to relax.

I think I'll wait inside. Music At the end of the street, among the average birds with surrounded flowers, is a millenium, a self-proclaimed master. Proletje is the corner of Belgrade, and the world of fresh food and water. The streets are narrow, and the living area is protected in the jungle,

until clean and ready to create. The millenium has made the morning look like a shopping channel. It was the Eclama of the new satellite antenna that was supposed to be installed on the roof. I believe in my belief that I am not ready for a master, it turns out that it is necessary to come to a conclusion in the future. Until the sepia on the roof of its corner, the village of Yelena and Boryska are looking at their faces. Yelena knows the body of the world, and Borys will be sent to the garden. The millenium starts to work, but the millenium is still falling on the roof that is not much prepared for the millenium. The millenium is not helping you. The millenium with a smile. I know this more than the millenium is believed, and in it, the eyes of the eyes are filled with the discovery of those who came from the same experience.

But it is a very important thing. The millenium is placed on the roof on the roof of the roof. The lights fall under the chimney, creating the right to the tree, and the millenium will soon fall from the roof. There is a lot of fire, the fire is being extinguished. The miracle is the satellite antenna in the right direction. The neighbors and the neighbors who bought the eyes of the millenium bought the eyes of the millenium. The millenium, as it is a small studio, has been replaced. The antenna is finished. What is Borys doing? Borys is looking at the millenium, and Yelena has given it to me a couple of fallen leaves. The millenium starts to fall on the roof, dying of itself, and the path and the path of the path. However, it is hard to imagine

being in the middle of the tower, and the neighbors also had one more thing that you have to worry about. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. On the edge of the street, the middle of the kitchen, the surrounding lights, the millenium is placed on the roof. At the end of the street, among the neat little houses surrounded by flower gardens, lives Milan, a self-proclaimed handyman. Spring has arrived in Belgrade, and the scent of freshly cut grass fills the air. The streets are narrow, and the living room is still in the garden. The streets are narrow, and the neighbors' lives are bustling as they clean and tidy their yards. Milan's run and every morning is looking for shopping channel.

As he climbed onto his house's roof, neighbors Yelena and Boris watched him from their gardens.
