Story Transcript:
Sk: V sviežom jarnom rannom vzduchu sa Marek vydal na trh v Tatranskej Lomnici.
En: In the fresh spring morning air, Marek set off for the market in Tatranská Lomnica.
Sk: Po ceste počul spev vtákov, ktorý sa niesol medzi majestátnymi vrcholmi Tatier.
En: Along the way, he heard the singing of birds, which resonated among the majestic peaks of the Tatras.
Sk: Trh sa rozprestieral na okraji dediny, s drevenými stánkami plnými čerstvých produktov a ručne vyrobených remeselných výrobkov.
En: The market spread out on the outskirts of the village, with wooden stalls full of fresh produce and handmade crafts.
Sk: Všade vládol ruch a veselý čulý pohyb miestnych ľudí.
En: Everywhere there was a bustle and cheerful lively movement of local people.
Sk: Marek mal rád varenie.
En: Marek loved cooking.
Sk: Dnes chcel nájsť ingrediencie na jedlo, ktoré pripravovala jeho stará mama.
En: Today, he wanted to find ingredients for a dish that his grandmother prepared.
Sk: Mal však pocit nostalgie a mierny tlak, pretože si chcel spomenúť na chuť detstva.
En: However, he felt nostalgia and a slight pressure because he wanted to remember the taste of childhood.
Sk: Najradšej by bol našiel čerstvú zeleninu, takú, akú mala jeho stará mama zo záhrady.
En: He would most prefer to find fresh vegetables, like those his grandmother had from the garden.
Sk: Všade boli ľudia a stánky s veľmi pestrou ponukou.
En: There were people everywhere and stalls with a very colorful offer.
Sk: Marek cítil jemnú nervozitu.
En: Marek felt a slight nervousness.
Sk: Ako by našiel správne?
En: How would he find the right ones?
Sk: Pristúpil k prvému stánku.
En: He approached the first stall.
Sk: Predavačka Jana, usmievavá žena, sa naňho pozrela.
En: The vendor, Jana, a smiling woman, looked at him.
Sk: "Čo hľadáš, Marek?
En: "What are you looking for, Marek?"
Sk: " opýtala sa priateľsky.
En: she asked friendly.
Sk: "Hľadám niečo zvláštne.
En: "I'm looking for something special.
Sk: Zeleninu na špeciálne jedlo," odpovedal Marek zamyslene.
En: Vegetables for a special dish," Marek replied thoughtfully.
Sk: Jana ukázala na čerstvé mrkvy a chrumkavú kapustu.
En: Jana pointed to fresh carrots and crunchy cabbage.
Sk: "Toto všetko pestujeme v našom malom sade," povedala pyšne.
En: "We grow all this in our small orchard," she said proudly.
Sk: Marek si prezrel ponuku.
En: Marek reviewed the offer.
Sk: Po chvíli sa rozhodol skúsiť aj niečo nové.
En: After a while, he decided to try something new as well.
Sk: Na rohu našiel stánok so starším mužom, Ondrejom, ktorý predával bylinky.

Sk: Jedna, neznáma bylinka, pútala Marekovu pozornosť.
En: One unknown herb caught Marek's attention.
Sk: "Čo je toto za bylinku?
En: "What is this herb?"
