Story Transcript:
Sk: V živej atmosfére start-up inkubátoru s názvom "Naštartuj!" sa Marek, Zuzana a Jozef pripravovali na netradičnú súťaž.
En: In the lively atmosphere of the start-up incubator named "Naštartuj!", Marek, Zuzana, and Jozef were preparing for an unconventional contest.
Sk: Bol čas na tradičnú vianočnú súťaž o "Najškaredší sveter".
En: It was time for the traditional Christmas "Ugliest Sweater" competition.
Sk: Stávky boli tento rok vyššie než kedykoľvek predtým - víťaz si mal vybojovať extra deň voľna cez sviatky.
En: The stakes were higher this year than ever before—the winner would earn an extra day off during the holidays.
Sk: Marek mal tajný plán - chcel stráviť tento deň na malom výlete mimo mesta.
En: Marek had a secret plan—he wanted to spend this day on a little getaway out of town.
Sk: „Potrebujem niečo hrozne škaredé,“ povedal Marek so širokým úsmevom.
En: "I need something awfully ugly," said Marek with a broad smile.
Sk: „Babička mi uštrikovala niečo, čo pripomína starodávne koberec.“
En: "My grandma knitted me something that resembles an ancient rug."
Sk: Prichádza dôležitý deň a Marek je nadšený.
En: The important day arrived, and Marek was excited.
Sk: Ešte pred chvíľou mal v rukách chlpatý, pestrý, uzlami prešitý sveter.
En: Just a moment ago, he was holding a fluffy, colorful, knotted sweater.
Sk: Ale keď dorazil do kancelárie, svet pribrzdil.
En: But when he arrived at the office, the world slowed down.
Sk: Niekto mu sveter vymenil za obyčajný, zelený sveter.
En: Someone had swapped his sweater for an ordinary, green one.
Sk: „To nemôže byť pravda!“ zúfal sa Marek.
En: "This can't be true!" Marek despaired.
Sk: Potreboval pomoc a jedinou osobou, na ktorú sa mohol obrátiť, bola Zuzana.
En: He needed help, and the only person he could turn to was Zuzana.
Sk: „Zuzka, niekto mi ukradol môj nepodarok!“ hlesol s panikou v hlase.
En: "Zuzka, someone stole my abomination!" he gasped with panic in his voice.
Sk: Zuzana okamžite pochopila vážnosť situácie.
En: Zuzana immediately understood the gravity of the situation.
Sk: „Poďme najprv zistiť, kto to mohol byť,“ navrhla.
En: "Let's first find out who it could have been," she suggested.
Sk: Prechádzali kanceláriou, pozorne sledovali každého, kto sa chichotal na svojom mieste.
En: They walked through the office, carefully observing everyone who was giggling in their spots.
Sk: Jozef, Marekov večný rival, bol v rohu a snažil sa zamaskovať svoj smiech.
En: Jozef, Marek's eternal rival, was in the corner trying to mask his laughter.
Sk: Marek a Zuzana sa rozhodli konať.
En: Marek and Zuzana decided to act.
Sk: Bez klopania vtrhli do Jozefovho kútika.
En: Without knocking, they burst into Jozef's nook.
Sk: „Máš niečo, čo mi patrí?“ opýtal sa Marek pokojne ale dôrazne.
En: "Do you have something that belongs to me?" Marek asked calmly but firmly.
Sk: Jozef o chvíľu nabral vážnu tvár.
En: Jozef soon put on a serious face.
Sk: „Je to len vtip,“ priznal sa.
En: "It’s just a joke," he confessed.
Sk: „Vráť mi sveter, alebo ti príde štrikovať babička,“ vyhrážal sa Marek s úsmevom.
En: "Return my sweater, or my grandma will come to knit for you," Marek threatened with a smile.
Sk: Po krátkej dobe vyjednávania Jozef konečne sveter vrátil.
