Story Transcript:

Sk: Bolo studené a búrlivé večerné Bratislava.
En: It was a cold and stormy evening in Bratislava.

Sk: Veterné smršte sfučali po uliciach a obloha sa občas rozzářila bleskami nad starobylými strechami.
En: The gusty winds howled through the streets and the sky occasionally lit up with lightning above the ancient rooftops.

Sk: Juraj, veľký chlap s kučeravými vlasmi, sa práve vracal z Halloween párty, oblečený v smiešnom kúskati kostýme kaktusu, ktorý mu sadol ako uliaty.
En: Juraj, a big guy with curly hair, was just returning from a Halloween party, dressed in a silly cactus costume that fit him perfectly.

Sk: Prechádzal okolo starých kamenných budov Starého Mesta a snažil sa nekliať pod fúkaním chladného vetra, ktorý mu prenikal až do kostí.
En: He strolled past the old stone buildings of the Old Town, trying not to curse as the cold wind blew through him to the bone.

Sk: Keď dorazil pred svoj bytový dom na Jakubovom námestí, s hrôzou zistil, že si zabudol kľúče.
En: When he arrived at his apartment building on Jakubovo Square, to his horror, he realized he had forgotten his keys.

Sk: Vtom obrovský hrom zahrmel tak silno, že sa zachveli aj okenné tabule a Juraj vtom zistil, že je zamknutý vonku, sám, bezmocný a v kostýme, ktorý z neho robil terč posmechu pre každého za oknami svojich teplých bytov.
En: Just then, a huge thunderclap roared so loudly that even the window panes trembled, and Juraj realized he was locked out, alone, helpless, and in a costume that made him a target of ridicule for everyone in their warm apartments.

Sk: "Super, toto potrebujem," zamrmlal si, keď veterná vánica znovu zdvihla jeho kostýmový "klobúk".
En: "Great, just what I need," he muttered as the gust of wind lifted his costume "hat" again.

Sk: Vtom sa na ulici objavila Eva, jeho priateľka, spolu so svojou sestrou Martou.
En: At that moment, Eva, his girlfriend, along with her sister Marta, appeared on the street.

Sk: Obidve boli na ceste, ako sa schovajú pred krutou búrkou.
En: Both were on their way to seek shelter from the fierce storm.

Sk: Eva, malá brunetka s iskrivými očami, rozpoznala Juraja aj vo tmách.
En: Eva, a petite brunette with sparkling eyes, recognized Juraj even in the darkness.

Sk: "Juraj, čo tu robíš vonku?
En: "Juraj, what are you doing out here?"

Sk: " zvolala užívæ silným vetrom, keď k nemu bežala.
En: she yelled over the strong wind as she ran to him.

Sk: Strmé bliky presvetlili ulice, keď jej Juraj hovoril o svojej nešťastnej situácii.
En: Stark flashes of light illuminated the streets as Juraj told her about his unfortunate situation.

Sk: Marta, ktorá mala dobré srdce a bola vždy pripravená pomôcť, navrhla, aby šli všetci spolu na kávu a počkali, kým búrka pominie.
En: Marta, who had a kind heart and was always ready to help, suggested that they all go for coffee together and wait until the storm passed.

Sk: So smiechom na tvárach, aj napriek divokému počasiu, sa vydali do najbližšej kaviarne.
En: With laughter on their faces, despite the wild weather, they headed to the nearest café.

Sk: Juraj sa niekoľkokrát poďakoval a medzi úsmevmi si plánoval, ako sa odvďačí.
En: Juraj thanked them several times and, with smiles, planned how to repay the favor.

Sk: Tam v teplote a pohodlí, pri šálke horúcej čokolády a koláčiku, zabudli na búrku vonku a smiali sa Jurajovmu kostýmu.
En: There, in the warmth and comfort, over a cup of hot chocolate and a pastry, they forgot about the storm outside and laughed at Juraj's costume.

Sk: Časťou ich teplého rozhovoru sa stala spomienka na tento nezvyčajný večer, ktorý ich spojil ešte viac.
En: The memory of this unusual evening became a part of their warm conversation, bringing them even closer together.

Sk: Keď búrka konečne ustala a nočná obloha sa vyčistila, Eva, Marta a Juraj opustili kaviareň.
En: When the storm finally subsided and the night sky cleared, Eva, Marta, and Juraj left the café.

Sk: S úsmevom a vďakou v srdci sa Juraj vrátil späť k bytu, kde ho už čakal poriadom zamčené dvere.
En: With smiles and gratitude in their hearts, Juraj returned to his apartment where the door was still locked.

Sk: Marta, ktorá bola vždy chytrá, našla v kaktuse skrytú rezervnú kľúčenku, ktorú Juraj zabudol, že má.
En: Marta, who was always clever, found a spare key hidden in the cactus that Juraj had forgotten he had.

Sk: S úľavou otočil kľúč v zámke, vďačný za priateľov a za nečakané príhody, ktoré mu tento podivný večer priniesol.
En: With relief, he turned the key in the lock, thankful for his friends and for the unexpected adventures this peculiar evening brought him.

Sk: A aj keď Jurajov Halloween nezačal najlepšie, skončil s pocitom tepla a šťastia vo svojom srdci.
En: And even though Juraj's Halloween didn't start off the best, it ended with a feeling of warmth and happiness in his heart.
