Sk: „Pozri, Ján, tam tá pani s jablkami," ukázala Martina na stánok plný krásnych jabĺk.
En: "Look, Ján, there, that lady with the apples," Martina pointed to a stall full of beautiful apples.
Sk: Katarína, majiteľka stánku, bola medzi predavačmi známa ako najlepšia pestovateľka jabĺk.
En: Katarína, the stall owner, was known among vendors as the best apple grower.
Sk: Tie jablká dodávali jedlu výbornú chuť.

Sk: „Dobrý deň, Katarína.
En: "Good day, Katarína.
Sk: Tvoje jablká sú zase krásne," pochválil ju.
En: Your apples are beautiful again," he complimented her.
Sk: Katarína sa usmievala, ale stánok bol plný zákazníkov.
En: Katarína smiled, but the stall was full of customers.
Sk: „Ďakujem, Ján.
En: "Thank you, Ján.
Sk: Sú veľmi žiadané, dnes je veľa záujemcov," povedala a ukázala na radu kupujúcich.
En: They are in high demand, there are many interested today," she said, gesturing to the line of buyers.
Sk: Ján vedel, že musí konať rýchlo.
En: Ján knew he had to act quickly.
Sk: „Ak mi predáš kilo tých najlepších, budem veľmi vďačný," potichu povedal.
En: "If you sell me a kilo of the best ones, I would be very grateful," he said quietly.
Sk: Katarína na neho chvíľu hľadela, zvážila jeho úsmev a úprimnosť.
En: Katarína looked at him for a moment, considering his smile and sincerity.
Sk: Po chvíli sa rozhodla.
En: After a moment, she decided.
Sk: „No dobre, pre teba mám kilo pripravené.
En: "Alright, I have a kilo ready for you.
Sk: Cena ale nebude nižšia," povedala dôrazne.
En: But the price won't be lower," she said firmly.
Sk: Ján prikývol, uvedomujúc si, aké dôležité sú tieto jablká pre jeho recept.
En: Ján nodded, realizing how important these apples were for his recipe.
Sk: Medzitým Martina zmizla v dave.
En: Meanwhile, Martina had disappeared into the crowd.
Sk: Hľadala to vzácne korenie, ktoré by dodalo haluškám nezvyčajnú chuť.
En: She was searching for that rare spice that would give the halušky an unusual taste.<
