En: White frost glistened on the stones, and Christmas lights sparkled overhead.
Sk: Vianočný trh bol v plnom prúde.
En: The Christmas market was in full swing.
Sk: Z rozličných stánkov sa šírila vôňa vareného vína, medovníkov a korenín.

En: People were buying gifts, laughing, and sipping hot drinks to warm up.

En: Both were watching Stanislav, a skillful street artist amusing passersby with his tricks.
Sk: Všetko sa náhle zmenilo.
En: Everything suddenly changed.
