ŠKRATEK SE POTEPA PO LJUBLJANI

Škratek je začudeno rekel: »Kdo pa je to?« Zmaj mu odgovori: »France Prešeren je največji slovenski pesnik. V

tistih časih, ko je živel, so ga otroci klicali, kako že … A veš, da kar dr. Fig. «

Škratek vpraša: »Zakaj pa dr. Fig? Ali je rad jedel fige, tako kot moj dedi Škratomir?«

»Ne, dr. Fig so ga klicali, ker je otrokom delil suhe fige, s katerimi so se sladkali, saj drugih posladkov sploh

niso imeli,« je razložil zmaj in široko razprl svoja zmajeva usta, ker je bil tako zaspan. Škratek pa se je

ustrašil, da ga bo pojedel. Zmaj je rekel: »Ne boj se, škrat, ne bom te pojedel, samo zaspan sem.

Pridi, greva zdaj spat na Ljubljanski grad, ki stoji na hribu sredi Ljubljane!«

The little Elf said in amazement: »Who is he? « The Dragon answered him: »France Prešeren was the most

famous Slovenian poet. In the time when he lived the children called him… what was it… you know, it was Dr.

Fig. « The little Elf asked: »Why Dr. Fig, did he enjoy eating figs just like my grandpa Elfman? «

»No, he was called Dr. Fig because he handed out dry figs to children for them to enjoy something sweet as

they didn’t have any other sweets. « The Dragon explained and widely opened his dragon mouth because he

was so tired. The little Elf became afraid that the Dragon would eat him. The Dragon said: » Don’t be afraid,

little Elf, I am just sleepy. Come on; let’s go for a nap to the Ljubljana Castle, which stands on top of the hill in

the middle of Ljubljana! «
