A Lock on the Ljubljanica
Mark and Ana were visiting Ljubljana. They were a young couple in love. They had heard about the Butchers' Bridge, the bridge where people put padlocks with their names to show their love for each other.
One sunny afternoon, they walked to the Butchers' Bridge. It was full of colorful padlocks of all sizes. Mark took a small, shiny padlock out of his pocket. Ana looked surprised.
"What's this?" she asked, smiling.
"It's for us," Mark said. He had written their names, "Mark & Ana," and the date on it.
Together, they found a good spot on the bridge. Mark clipped the padlock onto the metal railing, and then he gave Ana the key.
"Now, we throw the key into the river," he said. "So our love will stay locked here forever."
They held hands and threw the key into the green Ljubljanica River below. The water flowed on, carrying their little key away.
Ana's eyes were a little teary. "That's so sweet, Mark," she said.
They stood on the bridge for a moment, looking at their padlock among all the others. Each lock told a story of love and commitment.
Later, they walked along the riverbanks, holding each other close. The Dragon Bridge with its fierce statues watched over them. The gentle flow of the Ljubljanica seemed to whisper promises of lasting love, just like their little padlock on the Butchers' Bridge.
Now you can do the QUIZ.
