Story Transcript:

Lv: Reiz Liene pavasara rītā devās uz Rīgas Centrāltirgu.
En: On a spring morning, Liene went to Riga Central Market.

Lv: Viņa bija apņēmusies sagādāt vislabākos dārzeņus savas mātes dzimšanas dienas svinībām.
En: She was determined to get the best vegetables for her mother's birthday celebration.

Lv: Saule spēlējās starp tirgus paviljoniem un ļaudis steidza garām ar smaidiem un svaigiem pušķiem rokās.
En: The sun played between the market pavilions and people hurried past with smiles and fresh bouquets in hand.

Lv: Kad Liene ieradās pie dārzeņu stenda, viņa ar prieku sāka izvēlēties visu nepieciešamo.
En: When Liene arrived at the vegetable stand, she happily began to select everything she needed.

Lv: Tur bija sarkani tomāti, kraukšķīgi gurķi un milzīgi kāposti.
En: There were red tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and huge cabbages.

Lv: Ungārsnē tālumā viņa ieraudzīja savu draugu Mārtiņu.
En: In the distance, she saw her friend Mārtiņš.

Lv: Juris, tirgotājs ar draudzīgu sirdi, novēroja Lieņu ar interesi.
En: Juris, the friendly-hearted merchant, watched Liene with interest.

Lv: Liene domāja, ka Mārtiņš būs lielisks palīgs dārzeņu izvēlē, tādēļ nolēma pārsteigt viņu.
En: Liene thought that Mārtiņš would be a great help in choosing vegetables, so she decided to surprise him.

Lv: Viņa ļaužu pūlī ieraudzīja milzu zaļu objektu un, domājot, ka tas ir Mārtiņa galva, rokās ņēma virsū kāpostu un, uzlūkojot, saķēra to apkārt.
En: In the crowd, she saw a huge green object and, thinking it was Mārtiņš's head, she grabbed the cabbage and, looking closely, caught it.

Lv: Taču tūlīt pat saprata, ka tā nav Mārtiņa galva, bet gan ļoti liels kāposts.
En: But immediately she realized that it wasn't Mārtiņš's head, but a very large cabbage.

Lv: "O, piedod man, es domāju, ka tu esi Mārtiņš!
En: "Oh, pardon me, I thought you were Mārtiņš!"

Lv: " viņa teica, nebeidzot brīnīties par savu kļūdu.
En: she said, still marveling at her mistake.

Lv: Juris, tirgotājs, sirdīgi izsmējās.
En: Juris, the merchant, laughed heartily.

Lv: "Neviens vēl nekad nav manu kāpostu sajaucis ar cilvēka galvu," viņš teica, un viņa smiekli piepildīja tirgus gaisotni.
En: "No one has ever mistaken my cabbage for a human head," he said, and his laughter filled the market atmosphere.

Lv: Liene nosarkusi, bet Juris viņu ātri nomierināja, sakot: "Neviens no mums nav brīvs no kļūdām.
En: Liene blushed, but Juris quickly reassured her, saying, "None of us is free from mistakes.

Lv: Uz priekšu, izvēlies labākos, un es tev pat par brīvu atdošu šo milzīgo kāpostu.
En: Go ahead, choose the best, and I'll even give you this huge cabbage for free."

Lv: "Beigās Liene, smaidot un pateicoties par tirgotāja dāsnumu un sapratni, aiznesa kāpostu līdzi.
En: In the end, smiling and thanking the merchant for his generosity and understanding, Liene carried the cabbage with her.

Lv: Mētelis uz pleciem vairs nešķita tik smags, un gaisma tālumā bija spožāka nekā jebkad.
En: The coat on her shoulders no longer felt so heavy, and the light in the distance was brighter than ever.

Lv: Liene sajuta, ka, pat pilsētas troksnī un dzīves steigā, cilvēku sirdīgums un labestība vienmēr sniedz siltumu.
En: Liene felt that, even in the noise and rush of the city, people's kindness and goodness always bring warmth.

Lv: Un šo siltumu viņa nogādās līdz mājas durvīm, kur svinības tikai sāksies.
En: And this warmth she would bring to the doorstep, where the celebration was about to begin.
