Story Transcript:
Sk: Deti z tretej triedy základnej školy v Ružinove čakali pred Viedenským prírodovedným múzeom.
En: The children from the third grade of elementary school in Ružinov were waiting in front of the Vienna Museum of Natural History.
Sk: Jarné slnko svietilo cez veľké okná múzea a jeho lúče tancovali na podlahe vstupnej haly.
En: The spring sun shone through the museum's large windows, and its rays danced on the floor of the entrance hall.
Sk: Marek stál trochu bokom od svojich spolužiakov, jeho bunda mu bola trochu veľká a dokonca aj topánky boli práve nové.
En: Marek stood a little apart from his classmates, his jacket was a bit too big, and even his shoes were brand new.
Sk: Cítil sa neviditeľný, ale teraz nemohol predísť tomuto výletu.
En: He felt invisible, yet he couldn't avoid this trip.
Sk: "Som rád, že sme tu," povedala Jolana, ich učiteľka.
En: "I'm glad we're here," said Jolana, their teacher.
Sk: "Všetci sa budeme baviť a naučíme sa niečo nové.
En: "We'll all have fun and learn something new."
Sk: " Jej hlas znel povzbudivo a teplo.
En: Her voice sounded encouraging and warm.
Sk: Marek sa len slabo usmial.
En: Marek just gave a weak smile.
Sk: Lucia, Marekova spolužiačka, sa mu prihovorila: "Marek, chceš byť s nami?
En: Lucia, Marek's classmate, spoke to him: "Marek, do you want to be with us?
Sk: Budeme pozorovať dinosaury!
En: We'll be looking at dinosaurs!"
Sk: " Lucia sa vždy vedela usmievať.
En: Lucia always knew how to smile.
Sk: Marek prikývol, ale jeho vnútro bolo plné obáv.
En: Marek nodded, but inside he was full of worries.
Sk: Čo ak povie niečo nesprávne?
En: What if he said something wrong?
Sk: Ale rozhodol sa, že skúsim.
En: But he decided to try it.
Sk: Sála s dinosaurmi bola obrovská.
En: The hall with the dinosaurs was enormous.
Sk: Veľké kostry stáli ako strážcovia času a deti tomu nemohli uveriť.
En: Large skeletons stood like guardians of time, and the children couldn't believe it.
Sk: Ich vysoké krky a dlhé chvosty vytvárali gotický vzor proti stropu.
En: Their tall necks and long tails created a gothic pattern against the ceiling.
Sk: "Pozrite sa na toho triceratopa!
En: "Look at that triceratops!"
Sk: " ozvala sa Lucia.
En: Lucia exclaimed.
Sk: "Veľryby mali predtým nohy," povedal nečakane Marek.
En: "Whales used to have legs," Marek said unexpectedly.
Sk: Všetky oči sa k nemu obrátili.
En: All eyes turned to him.
Sk: Sledoval ich výraz, či usmieva sa, alebo ho posudzujú.
En: He watched their expressions, whether they were smiling or judging him.
Sk: "Áno, to je pravda," odpovedala Jolana, povzbudzujúc ho.
En: "Yes, that's true," Jolana responded, encouraging him.
Sk: Odborníci si myslia, že sa zmenili z pevninských tvorov na morské.
En: "Experts think they changed from land creatures to sea ones."
Sk: "Marek sa cítil, ako by narastal o niekoľko centimetrov výšky.
En: Marek felt as if he had grown a few centimeters taller.
Sk: Nikto sa nesmial a zdalo sa, že jeho slová zaujali.
En: No one laughed, and it seemed his words were of interest.
Sk: Cítil, ako sa jeho vyplachané tváre pomaly upokojovali.
En: He felt his flushed cheeks slowly calming down.
Sk: A na chvíľu sa svet zmenil.
En: And for a momen
