En: While observing nature, Milan noticed an unusual scene.

Hr: Sunčeva svjetlost je probijala kroz krošnje stabala, osvjetljavajući oblak leptira iznad cvjetova.

En: Ivana stood beside him, squeezing his hand, offering support.

En: Finally, the moment of truth arrived.

Hr: Katarina je objavila pobjednika.
En: Katarina announced the winner.

Hr: "Čestitke, Milane," rekla je s osmijehom.
