Sk: Vzduch bol svieži a vôňa lesa ich sprevádzala. En: The air was fresh and the scent of the forest enveloped them. Sk: Milan však, bez varovania, začal pociťovať svrbenie na koži a ťažobu na hrudi. En: However, without warning, Milan began to feel itching on his skin and heaviness in his chest. Sk: Vedel, že jeho alergická reakcia sa zhoršuje, ale nechcel zastaviť. En: He knew his allergic reaction was worsening, but he didn't want to stop. Sk: 'Všetko bude v poriadku,' presviedčal sám seba a pokračoval v chôdzi. En: 'Everything will be fine,' he assured himself and kept walking. Sk: Petra s Janou si však začali všímať, že niečo nie je v poriadku. En: However, Petra and Jana started to notice that something was wrong. Sk: 'Milan, si v poriadku?' spýtala sa Petra s obavou v hlase. En: 'Milan, are you okay?' Petra asked with concern in her voice. Sk: Milan sa len usmial a prikývol, hoci jeho dych sa stával stále ťažším. En: Milan just smiled and nodded, although his breath was becoming increasingly labored. Sk: Po niekoľkých kilometroch sa Milan zrazu zrútil na zem. En: After a few kilometers, Milan suddenly collapsed to the ground. Sk: Petra rýchlo priskočila k nemu a Jana sa rozplakala. En: Petra quickly rushed to him, and Jana burst into tears. Sk: 'Milan! Čo sa deje?' zvolala Petra. En: 'Milan! What's happening?' shouted Petra. Sk: 'Musíme niečo urobiť!' dodala Jana v panike. En: 'We have to do something!' added Jana in panic. Sk: Petra vedela, že musí konať rýchlo. En: Petra knew she had to act quickly. Sk: Vybrala svoj prenosný lekársky kufrík a zamerala sa na prvú pomoc. En: She took out her portable medical kit and focused on first aid. Sk: 'Milan, musíš mi povedať pravdu. Je to alergia, však?' spýtala sa jemne a naliehavo. En: 'Milan, you need to tell me the truth. It's an allergy, isn't it?' she asked gently and urgently. Sk: Milan, v bolesti a strachu, konečne priznal, 'Áno, mám alergiu... bojím sa nemocníc.' En: Milan, in pain and fear, finally admitted, 'Yes, I have an allergy... I'm afraid of hospitals.' Sk: Petra nepodľahla panike. En: Petra did not succumb to panic. Sk: Použila svoje medicínske vedomosti na stabilizáciu Milana, podala mu lieky a zlepšovala mu dýchanie.

En: They comforted Milan and reassured him that everything was fine. Sk: Keď sa Milan zotavil, pochopil, že jeho strach z nemocníc bol prekonaný vďaka odvahe a starostlivosti Petry. En: When Milan recovered, he realized that his fear of hospitals was overcome thanks to Petra's courage and care. Sk: 'Ďakujem, Petra. Zachránila si mi život,' povedal so slzami v očiach. En: 'Thank you, Petra. You saved my life,' he said with tears in his eyes. Sk: Jana pritlačila na ruku Milana a tiež sa usmiala, hoci stále cítila mierne trasenie z celého zážitku. En: Jana squeezed Milan's hand and smiled, though she still felt a slight tremor from the entire ordeal. Sk: V horách sa opäť nastal ticho. En: Silence returned to the mountains again. Sk: Hoci bola cesta náročná, týmto traja priatelia si pochopili hodnotu odvahy a priateľstva. En: Although the path was challenging, the three friends understood the value of courage and friendship. Sk: Milan si uvedomil, že ukázať svoje slabosti nie je znak slabosti, ale odvahy. En: Milan realized that showing his weaknesses was not a sign of frailty but of bravery. Sk: Petra a Jana ocenili jeho snahu a boli vďačné za jeho bezpečný návrat. En: Petra and Jana appreciated his effort and were grateful for his safe return. Sk: Takto, v krásnom horskom dedinke obklopenom letnou prírodou, skončil ich príbeh živou pripomienkou o tom, ako sú priatelia a rodina vždy tu, aby nás podopreli v našich najťažších chvíľach.
