Story Transcript:
Sk: V Tatrách, kde sa majestátne vrchy stretávajú s nebom a lesy šepkajú príbehy minulosti, stojí internát pre študentov.
En: In the Tatry mountains, where majestic peaks meet the sky and forests whisper tales of the past, stands a dormitory for students.
Sk: Letné dni sú stále teplé, ale už cítiť nádych blížiacej sa jesene.
En: The summer days are still warm, but the hint of the approaching autumn can already be felt.
Sk: Marek a Dominika prichádzajú prvýkrát do školy.
En: Marek and Dominika are arriving at the school for the first time.
Sk: Marek je tichý chlapec s jasným cieľom.
En: Marek is a quiet boy with a clear goal.
Sk: Chce byť najlepším študentom, aby splnil očakávania rodiny.
En: He wants to be the best student to meet his family's expectations.
Sk: Dominika je pravý opak – veselá dievčina, ktorá sa teší na nové priateľstvá a dobrodružstvá.
En: Dominika is the opposite—a cheerful girl eager for new friendships and adventures.
Sk: Keď vstúpili do izby, Marek si vybral posteľ pri okne, kde mohol v noci pozerať na hviezdy.
En: When they entered the room, Marek chose the bed by the window where he could watch the stars at night.
Sk: Dominika sa usmiala a s radosťou sa pustila do rozbaľovania kufra.
En: Dominika smiled and happily started unpacking her suitcase.
Sk: "Toto bude skvelý rok," povedala s iskrou v očiach.
En: "This is going to be a great year," she said, with a sparkle in her eyes.
Sk: Marek len prikývol, ponorený vo vlastných myšlienkach.
En: Marek just nodded, absorbed in his thoughts.
Sk: Na druhý deň začala škola.
En: The next day, school began.
Sk: Marek celé dni študoval v knižnici.
En: Marek studied all day in the library.
Sk: Dominika skúšala Mareka zapojiť do rôznych aktivít, no neúspešne.
En: Dominika tried to involve Marek in various activities, but unsuccessfully.
Sk: Pozývala ho na herný večer s ostatnými študentmi, ale Marek vždy odmietol.
En: She invited him to a game night with other students, but Marek always declined.
Sk: Cítila sa osamelá, aj keď bola obklopená mnohými ľuďmi.
En: She felt lonely, even though she was surrounded by many people.
Sk: Jedného večera, keď obaja spolu sedeli v izbe, Dominika sa odvážila porozprávať.
En: One evening, when they both sat together in the room, Dominika dared to speak up.
Sk: "Marek, prečo stále odmietaš ísť s nami?
En: "Marek, why do you always refuse to come with us?
Sk: Sme priatelia.
En: We are friends.
Sk: Alebo nie?
En: Or aren't we?"
Sk: " Marek sa zastavil v štúdiu.
En: Marek paused in his studying.
Sk: Bez slov, ale jeho oči prezrádzali váhanie.
En: Without words, his eyes betrayed hesitation.
Sk: "Áno, chcem byť priateľ.
En: "Yes, I want to be a friend...
Sk: len sa bojím, že ak nebudem študovať, sklamem rodičov," priznal.
En: I'm just afraid that if I don't study, I'll disappoint my parents," he admitted.
Sk: Dominika pochopila.
En: Dominika understood.
Sk: "Marek, každý potrebuje chvíle radosti.
En: "Marek, everyone needs moments of joy.
Sk: Spolupráca a priateľstvá nám pomáhajú rásť.
En: Collaboration and friendships help us grow.
Sk: A aj ja mám strach.
En: And I'm scared too.
Sk: Som tu nová a niekedy sa cítim stratená.
En: I'm new her
