Story Transcript:
Sk: Marek kráčal pomaly cez Botanickú záhradu v Bratislave, obklopený farebnými listami, ktoré mu praskali pod nohami.
En: Marek walked slowly through the Botanická záhrada in Bratislava, surrounded by colorful leaves that crackled under his feet.
Sk: Marek miloval jeseň.
En: Marek loved autumn.
Sk: Miloval aj rastliny.
En: He also loved plants.
Sk: Dnes sa naozaj tešil.
En: Today, he was truly excited.
Sk: Mal sa stretnúť s Janou a Lenkou.
En: He was supposed to meet with Jana and Lenka.
Sk: Jana už čakala na dohodnutom mieste.
En: Jana was already waiting at the agreed location.
Sk: Mala so sebou piknikovú deku a pár dobrôt.
En: She had a picnic blanket and some treats with her.
Sk: "Ahoj, Marek!
En: "Hi, Marek!"
Sk: " zamávala mu.
En: she waved to him.
Sk: Lenka, so svojím skicákom, sedela blízko na lavičke, už vyberajúc správne ceruzky.
En: Lenka, with her sketchbook, was sitting nearby on a bench, already choosing the right pencils.
Sk: "Ahoj Marek!
En: "Hi Marek!"
Sk: " zaznelo spoza deky.
En: came from behind the blanket.
Sk: Všetci sa usmievali, popíjali jablkový mušt a obdivovali krásu záhrady.
En: Everyone was smiling, sipping apple cider, and admiring the beauty of the garden.
Sk: Marek však mal iný plán.
En: However, Marek had a different plan.
Sk: Chcel vidieť vzácnu rastlinu, ktorú podľa rečí priniesli do záhrady.
En: He wanted to see the rare plant that, according to rumors, had been brought to the garden.
Sk: "Musím ju nájsť," povedal s nadšením, ktoré ho poháňalo vpred.
En: "I have to find it," he said with the excitement that drove him forward.
Sk: Aj keď Jana a Lenka rozprávali, Marek sa neustále pozeral naokolo.
En: Even though Jana and Lenka were talking, Marek was constantly looking around.
Sk: "Pozri, Marek, tento buk má krásne zlaté listy," snažila sa Jana zaujať jeho pozornosť.
En: "Look, Marek, this beech tree has beautiful golden leaves," Jana tried to catch his attention.
Sk: "Áno, je pekný," povzdychol si Marek, stále však myslel na vzácnu rastlinu.
En: "Yes, it's nice," sighed Marek, but he was still thinking about the rare plant.
Sk: "Prosím, pomôžeš mi nájsť správnu farbu?
En: "Please, can you help me find the right color?"
Sk: " spýtala sa Lenka, mávajúc ceruzkou pred jeho tvárou.
En: Lenka asked, waving a pencil in front of his face.
Sk: Marek len kývol hlavou, no už sa ponáral hlbšie do záhrady.
En: Marek just nodded but was already delving deeper into the garden.
Sk: Vial jemný vietor a Marek sa k nim otočil len na chvíľu.
En: A gentle breeze blew, and Marek turned to them just for a moment.
Sk: "Idem sa ešte raz pozrieť," ospravedlnil sa a rýchlo zmizol pomedzi stromy.
En: "I'm going to take another look," he apologized and quickly disappeared among the trees.
Sk: Lenka a Jana si vymenili pohľady.
En: Lenka and Jana exchanged glances.
Sk: Boli sklamané.
En: They were disappointed.
Sk: Vydali sa naspäť na piknikovú deku.
En: They returned to the picnic blanket.
Sk: Po chvíli si Marekovu neprítomnosť začali viac uvedomovať.
En: After a while, they began to notice Marek's absence more.
Sk: "Marek sa možno naozaj viac zaujíma o rastliny ako o nás," povedala Lenka smutne.
En: "May
