Мала лисица и огледало

Мала лисица и огледало

(Маленькая лисица и зеркало)

Jednog dana mala lisica je šetala šumom.

One day, a little fox was walking through the forest.

Iznenada, ispred nje se pojavilo staro ogledalo.

Suddenly, an old mirror appeared in front of her.

Lisica se zaustavila i začudila.

The fox stopped and was surprised.

"Šta se to sjaji?", pitala se.

"What is shining?", she wondered.

Pogledala je u ogledalo i videla sebe.

She looked into the mirror and saw herself.

Uplašila se i sakrila iza drveta.

She got scared and hid behind a tree.

Zatim se polako vratila i opet pogledala.

Then she slowly came back and looked again.

Shvatila je da se ne treba bojati svog odraza.

She realized that she shouldn't be afraid of her own reflection.

Od tada se često igrala ispred ogledala.

Since then, she often played in front of the mirror.

Uvek se pitala šta se može naučiti o sebi.

She always wondered what she could learn about herself.

Древно огледало и тајна речи “се”

(The Ancient Mirror and the Secret of “se”)

Nekada davno, ljudi su verovali da ogledalo nije samo staklo.

Long ago, people believed that a mirror was not just glass.

Na ostrvu Krit i u zemlji Etruraca, ogledala su bila posebna.

On the island of Crete and in the land of the Etruscans, mirrors were special.

Na njima su se crtale slike i pisale reči.

On them, pictures were drawn and words were written.

Verovalo se da ko se pogleda u ogledalo, može da vidi više od svog lica.

It was believed that whoever looks at the mirror can see more than just their face.

Kažu da se kroz ogledalo vidi i ono što se krije u srcu.

They say that through the mirror, you see what is hidden in your heart.

Zato su ljudi često govorili: “Pogledaj se i upoznaj se.”

That’s why people often said: “Look at yourself and get to know yourself.”

U srpskom jeziku postoji čarobna reč “se”.

In Serbian, there is a magical word “se”

Kada kažemo “smeje se”, “plaši se”, “igra se”, to znači da sve što radimo — radimo i za sebe.

When we say “smiles”, “is afraid”, “plays”, it means that everything we do — we also do for ourselves.

Baš kao u ogledalu, svaki dan možeš učiti nešto novo o sebi!

Just like in a mirror, every day you can learn something new about yourself!

Интересный факт: На бронзовых зеркалах Этрурии находили такие надписи:

• “mi avil” (я — год),

• “mi larthia” (я — Ларция) Это как если бы зеркало говорило: “Я — часть времени, часть рода. Смотри в меня — и увидишь себя во вселенной.”

Сербский пример:

• “Ko se ne boji da pogleda sebe, može da postane mudar.”

  (He who is not afraid to look at himself can become wise.)

Zamisli: Ako bi tvoje ogledalo moglo da priča, šta bi ti reklo o tebi?

Imagine: If your mirror could talk, what would it tell you about yourself?
