Sk: Bola jeseň a každý počul šuchot suchých listov pod nohami.
En: It was autumn, and everyone could hear the crunch of dry leaves underfoot.

Sk: Internátna škola bola obklopená nádhernou farebnou krajinou.
En: The boarding school was surrounded by a beautiful colorful landscape.

Sk: Stromy žiarili červenou, oranžovou a žltou, zatiaľ čo vzduch mal jemný chlad.
En: The trees glowed red, orange, and yellow, while the air had a gentle chill.

Sk: Vo vzduchu bolo cítiť vôňu dymu, ako sa škola pripravovala na večernú halloweensku slávnosť.
En: The smell of smoke was in the air as the school prepared for the evening Halloween celebration.

Sk: Marek stál pred veľkou výzvou.
En: Marek faced a big challenge.

Sk: Bol deň výletu, na ktorý sa všetci študenti tešili.
En: It was the day of the trip that all the students were looking forward to.

Sk: Hoci bol Marek tichý a často zamyslený, chcel dokázať, že nie je slabý.
En: Although Marek was quiet and often deep in thought, he wanted to prove that he was not weak.

Sk: Želal si, aby jeho spolužiaci videli, že dokáže zdolať náročnú túru.
En: He wished for his classmates to see that he could conquer the difficult hike.

Sk: Eliska a Jana, jeho dobré priateľky, sa naňho usmievali a povzbudzovali ho.
En: Eliska and Jana, his good friends, smiled at him and encouraged him.

Sk: Cesta začala pomaly.
En: The journey began slowly.

Sk: Marek kráčal pevne, s hlavou vysoko.
En: Marek walked steadily, with his head held high.

Sk: Všetko išlo dobre, až kým sa nenaplnili jeho obavy.
En: Everything was going well until his fears were realized.

Sk: V jednej strmej časti chodníka mu noha podklzla a spadol.
En: On a steep part of the trail, his foot slipped and he fell.

Sk: Cítil ostrú bolesť v členku.
En: He felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

Sk: Nesťažoval sa.
En: He didn’t complain.

Sk: Zúfalo sa snažil nevšímať si to.
En: He desperately tried to ignore it.

Sk: Hrdosť mu bránila požiadať o pomoc.
En: Pride prevented him from asking for help.

Sk: Eliska a Jana si však všimli, že niečo nie je v poriadku.
En: However, Eliska and Jana noticed that something was wrong.

Sk: „Marek, si v poriadku?
En: "Marek, are you okay?"

Sk: “ spýtala sa Jana, keď ho videla niekoľkokrát zaváhať.
En: Jana asked when she saw him hesitate several times.

Sk: Marek sa snažil usmiať a povedal: „Nič to nie je.
En: Marek tried to smile and said, "It's nothing."

Sk: “ Ale jeho bolesť bola očividná.
En: But his pain was evident.

Sk: Keď dospeli k strmej skale, vedel, že ju sám neprekoná.
En: When they reached the steep rock, he knew he couldn't overcome it alone.

Sk: S každým krokom na neho tlačil silnejší pocit bezmocnosti.
En: With every step, a stronger sense of helplessness pressed upon him.

Sk: Nakoniec zastal a pripustil si situáciu.
En: Finally, he stopped and admitted the situation to himself.

Sk: Nemohol to robiť sám.
En: He couldn't do it alone.

Sk: „Eliska, Jana, potrebujem pomoc,“ povedal s sklonenou hlavou.
En: "Eliska, Jana, I need help," he said with his head bowed.

Sk: Dievčatá hneď pribehli a spoločne našli spôsob, ako mu pomôcť.
En: The girls quickly ran over and together found a way to assist him.

Sk: Z útržkov látky a konárov vytvorili provizórnu dlahu.
En: They made a makeshift splint from scraps of fabric and branches.

Sk: Pomohli mu ovinúť členok a spolu pomaly pokračovali.
En: They helped him wrap his ankle, and together they continued slowly.

Sk: Cesta bola dlhá, ale teraz Marek cítil niečo zvláštne – pocit spolupatričnosti.
En: The journey was long, but now Marek felt something special—a sense of belonging.

Sk: Nebol osamotený.
En: He was not alone.

Sk: Zistil, že aj keď je niekedy ťažké priznať si slabosť, priateľstvo je práve o tom – byť tam jeden pre druhého.
En: He realized that even though it is sometimes hard to admit weakness, friendship is about being there for each other.

Sk: Keď konečne dorazili naspäť do školy, Marek sa usmial.
En: When they finally arrived back at the school, Marek smiled.

Sk: Všetci mu zatlieskali, nie za to, že túru zvládol bez pádu, ale za to, že si priznal, čo je naozaj dôležité.
En: Everyone applauded, not because he completed the hike without falling, but because he acknowledged what truly mattered.

Sk: Zistil, že nie všetko musí zvládať sám.
En: He found that he didn’t have to handle everything on his own.

Sk: A tak, s členkom opretým na lavičke, pozoroval, ako sa škola pripravuje na Halloween a vedel, že domov je tam, kde sú priatelia.
En: And so, with his ankle propped on a bench, he watched as the school prepared for Halloween and knew that home is where friends are.
