Story Transcript:

Sk: Mesto bolo plné života.
En: The city was bustling with life.

Sk: Viktor prechádzal Urban Jungle eco-parkom v Bratislave.
En: Viktor was walking through the Urban Jungle Eco-Park in Bratislava.

Sk: Bolo skoro leto a príroda rozkvitala.
En: It was early summer, and nature was in full bloom.

Sk: Vzduch bol plný vône kvetov a čerstvého ovocia.
En: The air was filled with the scent of flowers and fresh fruit.

Sk: Viktor bol mestským plánovačom.
En: Viktor was an urban planner.

Sk: Mal rád trvalo udržateľný život a prírodu.
En: He loved sustainable living and nature.

Sk: Ale mal aj veľký strach z neúspechu.
En: But he also had a great fear of failure.

Sk: Viktor chcel kúpiť darček pre svojho mentora.
En: Viktor wanted to buy a gift for his mentor.

Sk: Jeho mentor mu veľmi pomohol s projektom.
En: His mentor had greatly helped him with a project.

Sk: Chcel mu poďakovať a požiadať ho o radu.
En: He wanted to thank him and ask for advice.

Sk: Ale mal obavy.
En: But he was worried.

Sk: Bál sa, že nenájde správny darček.
En: He feared he wouldn't find the right gift.

Sk: Mal strach, že ho jeho mentor odmietne.
En: He was afraid that his mentor would reject him.

Sk: Prechádzal sa trhom v eco-parku.
En: He walked around the market in the eco-park.

Sk: Vidí mnoho stánkov plných krásnych vecí.
En: He sees many stalls filled with beautiful things.

Sk: Farebné ovocie, čerstvá zelenina, ručne vyrobené výrobky.
En: Colorful fruits, fresh vegetables, handmade goods.

Sk: Zrazu uvidí stánok mladého remeselníka.
En: Suddenly, he spots a stall belonging to a young craftsman.

Sk: Na stole boli nádherné drevené sochy a dekoračné predmety.
En: On the table were beautiful wooden sculptures and decorative items.

Sk: Viktor sa zastavil a začal sa pozerať.
En: Viktor stopped and began to look.

Sk: „Dobrý deň,“ povedal remeselník.
En: “Good day,” said the craftsman.

Sk: „Môžem vám pomôcť?“
En: “Can I help you?”

Sk: „Hľadám darček pre svojho mentora,“ vysvetlil Viktor.
En: “I’m looking for a gift for my mentor,” Viktor explained.

Sk: „Niečo jedinečné.“
En: “Something unique.”

Sk: Remeselník ukázal na krásnu drevenú sochu.
En: The craftsman pointed to a beautiful wooden sculpture.

Sk: „Táto socha je ručne vyrobená z recyklovaného dreva.
En: “This sculpture is handmade from recycled wood.

Sk: Je to symbol trvalej udržateľnosti.“
En: It’s a symbol of sustainability.”

Sk: Viktor váhal.
En: Viktor hesitated.

Sk: Mal chuť kúpiť radšej niečo bezpečnejšie, niečo masovo vyrábané.
En: He was tempted to buy something safer, something mass-produced.

Sk: Ale cítil, že toto je správne.
En: But he felt that this was the right choice.

Sk: Rozhodol sa riskovať.
En: He decided to take the risk.

Sk: „Vezmem ju,“ povedal rozhodne.
En: "I'll take it," he said decisively.

Sk: Nasledujúci deň, Viktor nervózne čakal v centrálnom pavilóne eco-parku.
En: The next day, Viktor nervously waited in the central pavilion of the eco-park.

Sk: Jeho mentor prišiel a Viktor mu odovzdal darček.
En: His mentor arrived and Viktor handed over the gift.

Sk: Pozrel sa na sochu a usmial sa.
En: He looked at the sculpture and smiled.

Sk: „To je krásne, Viktor.
En: “This is beautiful, Viktor.

Sk: Je to jedinečné a osobné.
En: It’s unique and personal.

Sk: Veľmi ti ďakujem.“
En: Thank you very much.”

Sk: „Potrebujem tvoju radu na projekte,“ priznal Viktor.
En: “I need your advice on the project,” Viktor admitted.

Sk: „Bojujem s niektorými rozhodnutiami.“
En: “I'm struggling with some decisions.”

Sk: „Rád ti pomôžem,“ uistil ho mentor a začal dávať rady.
En: “I’d be happy to help,” his mentor assured him and began giving advice.

Sk: Viktor cítil, ako mu klesá kameň zo srdca.
En: Viktor felt a weight lifted from his shoulders.

Sk: Bol rád, že riskoval a vybral jedinečný darček.
En: He was glad he took the risk and chose a unique gift.

Sk: Jeho mentor bol spokojný a on získal potrebné rady a podporu.
En: His mentor was pleased, and he gained the necessary advice and support.

Sk: Viktor mal novú dôveru v seba.
En: Viktor had newfound confidence in himself.

Sk: Uvedomil si, že strach zo zlyhania mu bráni.
En: He realized that his fear of failure was holding him back.

Sk: Od tej chvíle sa rozhodol veriť svojim rozhodnutiam.
En: From that moment on, he decided to trust his decisions.

Sk: Vedel, že je to cesta k úspechu.
En: He knew this was the path to success.

Sk: A tak Viktor pokračoval vo svojej práci s novým zanietením a istotou.
En: And so Viktor continued his work with renewed enthusiasm and confidence.

Sk: Urban Jungle eco-park bol pre neho teraz nielen miestom oddychu, ale aj miestom, kde našiel svoju silu.
En: The Urban Jungle Eco-Park was not only a place of relaxation for him but also a place where he found his strength.

Sk: Koniec.
En: The end.
