Sk: Ostatní ľudia sa zhromaždili okolo nich, ponúkajúc svoju pomoc.
En: Other people gathered around, offering their help.
Sk: Zuzana sa postupne preberala, hoci bola stále slabá.
En: Zuzana gradually regained consciousness, although she was still weak.
Sk: „Som v poriadku,“ zašepkala, snažiac sa vstať.
En: "I'm okay," she whispered, trying to stand up.
