Story Transcript:
Sr: Лишће је шуштало напољу док је Милан корачао са својом децом, Јеленом и Стефаном, у музеј Николе Тесле у Београду.
En: The leaves rustled outside as Milan walked with his children, Jelena and Stefan, to the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.
Sr: Милан је био озбиљан човек, одједном самац и отац, са јаким жељама да буде најбољи родитељ који може да буде.
En: Milan was a serious man, suddenly both single and a father, with strong desires to be the best parent he could be.
Sr: Док је улазио у то старо здање, пуно топлине и традиције, осетио је мешавину страха и наде.
En: As he entered that old building, full of warmth and tradition, he felt a mix of fear and hope.
Sr: Јелена, радознала девојчица, одмах је потрчала ка једној од експоната – великој слици Тесле.
En: Jelena, a curious little girl, immediately ran to one of the exhibits - a large picture of Tesla.
Sr: „Тата, тата, ко је овај човек?
En: "Daddy, daddy, who is this man?"
Sr: “ упитала је очима пуним узбуђења.
En: she asked with eyes full of excitement.
Sr: Стефан, који је увек био пун енергије, већ је трчао ка другој страни просторије, према генератору који је тајанствено светлуцао у углу.
En: Stefan, who was always full of energy, was already running to the other side of the room, towards a generator that mysteriously glowed in the corner.
Sr: „Полако, децо“, рекао је Милан, мада је унутар њега била борба.
En: "Slow down, kids," said Milan, though there was a struggle inside him.
Sr: Један део њега желио је да све иде по плану који је осмислио.
En: One part of him wanted everything to go according to the plan he had devised.
Sr: Други део, делимично олакшан што су деца показала интересовање, почео је да попушта под притиском потребе за контролом.
En: Another part, partially relieved that the children showed interest, began to ease under the pressure of the need for control.
Sr: Док су прелазили из једне просторије у другу, Милан је одлучио да пусти децу да воде пут.
En: As they moved from one room to another, Milan decided to let the children lead the way.
Sr: „Куда сада?
En: "Where to now?"
Sr: “ упитао је, покушавајући да сакрије нервозу.
En: he asked, trying to hide his nervousness.
Sr: Јелена је показала на собу са Теслиним калемом, који је просипао електричне варнице по соби.
En: Jelena pointed to the room with Tesla's coil, which scattered electric sparks throughout the room.
Sr: "Оди, тата, погледај ово!
En: "Come, daddy, look at this!"
Sr: " узвикнула је узбуђено.
En: she exclaimed excitedly.
Sr: У том тренутку, док су стајали у полумраку, Стефанова насмејана лица обасјала је светлост искре и он је почео да плеше.
En: At that moment, as they stood in the semi-darkness, Stefan's smiling face was illuminated by the light of the sparks, and he began to dance.
Sr: Милан је, гледајући тај тренутак чисте радости, док је Теслино дело светлело око њих, осетио како му се нешто мења у срцу.
En: Milan, watching that moment of pure joy as Tesla's work illuminated around them, felt something change in his heart.
Sr: Спонтаност деце пробудила је и у њему осећај чуда које је осећао када је био млад.
En: The spontaneity of the children awakened in him a sense of wonder he had felt when he was young.
Sr: Таква искуства била су драгоцена, схватио је.
En: Such experiences were precious, he realized.
Sr: Одлучио је да попусти и пусти срце да води, а не план.
En: He decided to let go and let his heart, not the plan, guide him.
Sr: Када су напустили музеј, морем светлости обасјаних улица, Милан и деца су се смејали.
En: As they left the museum, through streets bathed in a sea of light, Milan and the children laughed.
Sr: Бацајући поглед ка Јелени и Стефану, осетио је захвалност што је допустио себи и њима мало слободе.
En: Glancing at Jelena and Stefan, he felt grateful that he allowed himself and them a bit of freedom.
Sr: Док су корачали према парку, листопадно лишће под ногама створило је мелодију срећних корака.
En: As they walked towards the park, the deciduous leaves underfoot created a melody of happy steps.
Sr: Схватио је да није потребно пратити строг план како би створио лепа сећања.
En: He realized that it wasn't necessary to follow a strict plan to create beautiful memories.
Sr: Од сада, Милан је знао да је најбоље у родитељству често баш у непредвиђеним тренуцима.
En: From now on, Milan knew that the best in parenting often lay in unexpected moments.

In the emailitary, all the computers and utility tradition went together and again, but all was so bad with them to find out about that other people. Jelenardo, you knew what it was like, all were eyes crossed as if in Dr Smith, from Hипotoč he came home to visit a great-great name with its name. The question is how much will you degrade
The item, which was totally energetic and more a third of the other opinions of theößer First step of item is whether you want to get rid of the virus The second part, the dynamic action that the children showed interest, began to get under the pressure against the control. The dogs were forced from one story to the other, the Milan decided to let the children come to the water. Where is the garden? The bird is trying to save the energy. The bird showed the dog with a heavy helmet, which is a simple electrician. The bird, the father, looks at this. The bird was taken away.
In that moment, the dogs were standing in the field of the river, stepping on the ground, facing the light of the forest and they began to cry. Milan, looking at the bird, was so happy that the Tesla part of the world was about them, sitting like something in the heart. The spontaneity of the children was forgotten and not a miracle that is a miracle when it was young. That's how the story was, on the dragon's side, enough. It was decided to let the birds come to the water and not the river. When they started the music, we should light the empty streets, Milan and the children laughed. The birds were looking at the wind, the birds were looking at the wind, the wind was looking at the wind and they had little words. The dogs were screaming at the park, the number of people under the feet created a melody in the middle of the river.
It was enough to not need to spend the stroke plan as if it were creating a connection. From now on, Milan knows that the most painful pain in the chest is not a predatory practice. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The birds were looking at Milan's children with their children, young and Stefan in the museum, Nikola Tesla in Belgrade. The leaves rustled outside as Milan walked with his children, Elena and Stefan, to the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Milan was a brilliant man, a single mother and father, with a desire to be the most beautiful child that can be born. Milan was a serious man, suddenly both single and a father, with strong desires to be the best parent he could be. As he entered that old building full of warmth and tradition, he felt a mix of fear and hope.
Elena, you know where you are? Elena, a curious little girl, immediately ran to one of the exhibits, a large picture of Tesla. Daddy, daddy, who is this man? She asked with eyes full of excitement. Stefan, who was always full of energy, was already running to the other side of the room, towards a generator that mysteriously glowed in the corner.
Slow down kids, said Milan, though there was a struggle inside him. One part of him wanted everything to go according to the plan he had devised. Another part partially relieved that the children showed interest began to ease under the pressure of the need for control. As they moved from one room to another, Milan decided to let the children lead the way. Where to now?
He asked, trying to hide his nervousness. Elena showed a very heavy helmet that was easy to use in electric conditions. Elena pointed to the room with Tesla's coil, which scattered electric sparks throughout the room. Come daddy, look at this. She exclaimed excitedly. In this moment, the doctor said in the evening, Stefan's face was filled with light and he began to cry. At that moment, as they stood in the semi-darkness, Stefan's smiling face was illuminated by the light of the sparks and he began to dance. Milan takes care of his dream of becoming happy, remembering his luck in stillness, hearing the lights all passer from him as if anything was missing in my heart.
Spontaneous childish was going out and under a relaxing little lady who was among her golden wings. The spontaneity of the children awakened in him a sense of wonder he had felt when he was young. Such experiences were precious, he realized. He decided to let go and let his heart not the plan guide him. The children were smiling as they left the museum through streets bathed in a sea of light, Milan and the children laughed.
Glancing at Yelena and Stefan, he felt grateful that he allowed himself and them a bit of freedom. The children were laughing at the park, the leaves were sitting under the feet of the sea and the melody was in the middle of the sea.
