Story Transcript:
Sk: V Bratislave sa deň začínal chladným zimným ránom.
En: In Bratislava, the day began with a chilly winter morning.
Sk: Slnko sa lenivo dvíhalo nad horizontom, ale v Bratislavskej ZOO už vládol čulý ruch.
En: The sun was lazily rising above the horizon, but at the Bratislava Zoo, there was already a bustling activity.
Sk: Dnes sem dorazila trieda, medzi ktorou bol aj Marek, desaťročný chlapec s nesmiernym záujmom o morské tvory.
En: Today, a class had arrived, among them Marek, a ten-year-old boy with an immense interest in marine creatures.
Sk: Spolu so svojimi spolužiakmi kráčal smerom k akvárium sekcii, kde sa všetko zdalo magicko a tajomné.
En: Together with his classmates, he walked towards the aquarium section, where everything seemed magical and mysterious.
Sk: Túra začala.
En: The tour began.
Sk: Učiteľka Zuzana, mladá žena s milým úsmevom, viedla skupinu detí.
En: Teacher Zuzana, a young woman with a kind smile, led the group of children.
Sk: "Pozrite sa na tieto nádherné ryby," povedala, keď prechádzali okolo veľkého akvária.
En: "Look at these beautiful fish," she said as they passed by a large aquarium.
Sk: Farebné rybičky plávali ako tance svetla, no Marek mal oči len pre jedno miesto – výstavu o chobotniciach.
En: The colorful fish swam like dances of light, but Marek had eyes only for one place – the octopus exhibit.
Sk: Pre Mareka bol tento výlet dôležitý.
En: For Marek, this trip was important.
Sk: Chcel sa o chobotniciach dozvedieť všetko možné.
En: He wanted to learn everything possible about octopuses.
Sk: Vedel, že jeho spolužiak Peter by tiež rád zaujal učiteľku, ale Marek mal iný plán.
En: He knew that his classmate Peter would also like to impress the teacher, but Marek had a different plan.
Sk: Mal v hlave pevný cieľ: naučiť sa všetky fakty o chobotniciach a ohromiť tým všetkých.
En: He had a firm goal in mind: to learn all the facts about octopuses and impress everyone with them.
Sk: Svetla v akvárium sekcii svietili tlmene a množstvo akvárií vytváralo prostredie plné života.
En: The lights in the aquarium section were dim, and the multitude of aquariums created an environment full of life.
Sk: Keď Marek konečne dorazil k svojmu vytúženému stanovišťu, stál fascinovaný.
En: When Marek finally reached his coveted spot, he stood fascinated.
Sk: Chobotnice pomaly tancovali vo vode.
En: Octopuses were slowly dancing in the water.
Sk: Na tabuľkách sa Marek snažil prečítať čo najviac informácií: „Chobotnica má tri srdcia, osem chápadiel, krv modrej farby...“
En: On the boards, Marek tried to read as much information as possible: “The octopus has three hearts, eight tentacles, blue-colored blood..."
Sk: Ale jeho spolužiaci kričali, ukazovali na nové a nové kreatúry, a Marek pocítil, ako sa jeho pozornosť začína rozptyľovať.
En: But his classmates were shouting, pointing at new and new creatures, and Marek felt his attention beginning to waver.
Sk: Musel sa rozhodnúť.
En: He had to decide.
Sk: Nechať sa zlákať pestrými rybami?
En: Should he be tempted by the colorful fish?
Sk: Alebo sa sústrediť na svoj cieľ?
En: Or focus on his goal?
Sk: Vedel, čo musí urobiť.
En: He knew what he had to do.
Sk: Zhlboka sa nadýchol a znova zameral svoje oči na tabuľu o chobotniciach.
En: He took a deep breath and refocused his eyes on the octopus board.
Sk: "Zostanem tu, kým nezapamätám všetko!" prisahal si v duchu.
En: "I’ll stay here until I remember everything!" he promised himself internally.
Sk: Po čase sa už cítil sebaistejší.
En: After a while, he felt more confident.
Sk: Obchádzal akvárium naposledy, zbierajúc si posledné útržky informácií.
En: He walked around the aquarium one last time, gathering the final scraps of information.
Sk: Potom sa s pocitom uspokojenia obrátil k Zuzane, ktorá ľudo obdivovala jeho odhodlanie.
En: Then, with a feeling of satisfaction, he turned to Zuzana, who was admiring his determination.
Sk: "Zuzana, vieš, že chobotnica má deväť mozgov?" zvolal nadšením preplnený Marek.
En: "Zuzana, did you know that an octopus has nine brains?" announced an excited Marek.
Sk: Peter, stojaci vedľa, cúvol v úžase, a Zuzana sa usmiala.
En: Peter, standing next to him, stepped back in amazement, and Zuzana smiled.
Sk: „Výborne, Marek,“ pochválila ho.
En: "Well done, Marek," she praised him.
Sk: "Je vidieť, že si sa naozaj snažil."
En: "It's clear that you really tried."
Sk: Marek sa cítil hrdý.
En: Marek felt proud.
Sk: Vedel, že to stálo za to.
En: He knew that it was worth it.
Sk: Nielenže dostal pochvalu pred celou triedou, ale uvedomil si, že koncentrácia a vytrvalosť sú kľúčom k dosiahnutiu cieľov.
En: Not only was he praised in front of the entire class, but he realized that concentration and perseverance are the keys to achieving goals.
Sk: Teplé svetlo akvárií sa hojdalo okolo, no jeho tvár žiarila ešte viac.
En: The warm light of the aquariums swayed around, but his face shone even more.
Sk: Dnešný deň bol plný nových poznatkov a skúseností.
En: Today was full of new knowledge and experiences.
Sk: A Marek už vedel, že sa napriek všetkému rád vrhne naspať do tajomného sveta oceánu.
En: And Marek already knew that despite everything, he was eager to dive back into the mysterious world of the ocean.
