Story Transcript:

Sk: V šereňom jari, keď kvitnúcimi horami Tatier tancoval jemný vánok, stál opustený sklad.
En: In the twilight of spring, when a gentle breeze danced through the blooming mountains of the Tatier, an abandoned warehouse stood.

Sk: Okná boli rozbité a prach pokrýval podlahu.
En: The windows were shattered, and dust covered the floor.

Sk: Nebolo tu nič živé, len Marek a Jozef – dvaja kamaráti, ktorí sem prišli hľadať dobrodružstvo.
En: There was nothing alive here, just Marek and Jozef—two friends who had come seeking adventure.

Sk: Ale to, čo našli, bola skúška ich priateľstva.
En: But what they found was a test of their friendship.

Sk: Jozef ležal na zemi.
En: Jozef lay on the ground.

Sk: Na nohe mal hlboký rez a z tej rany tiekla krv.
En: He had a deep cut on his leg, and blood was flowing from the wound.

Sk: Na tvári mu bolo vidieť bolesť, aj jeho odhodlanie.
En: Pain was evident on his face, along with his determination.

Sk: "Neboj sa, Mareku.
En: "Don't worry, Marek.

Sk: Zvládnem to," povedal, snažiac sa oslobodiť sa od Marekovej starostlivosti.
En: I can handle it," he said, trying to free himself from Marek's concern.

Sk: Ale Marek, napriek svojmu vnútornému strachu, vedel, že musí pomôcť.
En: But Marek, despite his inner fear, knew he had to help.

Sk: Pozrel sa okolo seba v skladových troskách.
En: He looked around the warehouse debris.

Sk: Našiel kus látky – kus stropu, ktorý mohol poslúžiť.
En: He found a piece of cloth—a piece of the ceiling that could serve a purpose.

Sk: Použil ho ako improvizovaný obväz.
En: He used it as an improvised bandage.

Sk: "Jozef, nemôžeme čakať.
En: "Jozef, we can't wait.

Sk: Musíme to zastaviť, inak to bude zlé," trval Marek na svojom, keď pevne priväzoval látku okolo Jozefovej nohy.
En: We have to stop this, or it will be bad," Marek insisted as he tightly tied the cloth around Jozef's leg.

Sk: S každým pohybom sa krvácanie spomaľovalo, ale Jozef začínal strácať vedomie.
En: With each movement, the bleeding slowed, but Jozef began to lose consciousness.

Sk: Marek cítil, ako sa mu srdce tlačí do hrdla.
En: Marek felt his heart in his throat.

Sk: Prehltnul.
En: He swallowed.

Sk: "Nesmieš zaspať, Jozef.
En: "You must not fall asleep, Jozef.

Sk: Počuj ten spev vtákov?
En: Do you hear the birds singing?

Sk: Poďme trochu von, načerpaj čerstvý vzduch.
En: Let's go outside a bit, get some fresh air."

Sk: "Jozef zamrmlal niečo nejasné, ale Marek vedel, že musí konať rýchlo.
En: Jozef mumbled something unclear, but Marek knew he had to act quickly.

Sk: Rozhlédnul sa a cez rozbité okná hodil pohľad na prebúdzajúci sa svet vonku.
En: He looked around and glanced out of the broken windows at the awakening world outside.

Sk: Kvitnúce stromy, ktoré sľubovali nový život, im dodávali nádej.
En: Blooming trees promising new life gave them hope.

Sk: Blížil sa Deň práce, oslava jari, a teraz potrebovali zázrak.
En: Deň práce, the celebration of spring, was approaching, and now they needed a miracle.

Sk: Zatiaľ, čo sa Marek snažil udržať Jozefa pri vedomí, vzdialený zvuk sirén sa stával čoraz zreteľnejším.
En: While Marek tried to keep Jozef conscious, the distant sound of sirens became increasingly clear.

Sk: Podobalo sa to piesni nádeje a Marek, cítiac príliv novonadobudnutého sebavedomia, sa usmial.
En: It resembled a song of hope, and Marek, feeling a surge of newfound confidence, smiled.

Sk: "Pomoc je na ceste, starý kamarát," zašepkal, pohladíac Jozefovu slabnúcu ruku.
En: "Help is on the way, old friend," he whispered, gently stroking Jozef's weakening hand.

Sk: Keď sanitka dorazila a Jozefa vzali na nosidlách do bezpečia, Marek pocítil, ako sa hrdosť mieša s úľavou.
En: When the ambulance arrived, and Jozef was taken to safety on a stretcher, Marek felt pride mixed with relief.

Sk: Dnešný deň ho naučil veriť vo svoje schopnosti.
En: Today taught him to believe in his abilities.

Sk: Naučil aj Jozefa, že byť silný znamená niekedy prijať pomoc.
En: It also taught Jozef that being strong sometimes means accepting help.

Sk: Maj rovnako krásne stávanie, ako je táto jar, myslel si Marek, sledovák, ako Jozefa odvážali preč.
En: "Have a morning as beautiful as this spring," thought Marek, watching as Jozef was whisked away.

Sk: A s tou myšlienkou si povedal, že oslávi nadchádzajúci sviatok so zmyslom pre nový začiatok.
En: And with that thought, he resolved to celebrate the upcoming holiday with a sense of a new beginning.
