Sk: Na vrcholku zeleného kopca, kde sa týči hrad ako strážca mesta, sa odohrával rad veselých udalostí.
En: At the top of the green hill, where the castle stands as the guardian of the city, a series of joyful events unfolded.

Sk: Bratislavský hrad bol tento večer plný hudby a smiechu.
En: Bratislava Castle was filled with music and laughter this evening.

Sk: Trojica priateľov - Marek, Janka a Peter - sa tam stretli, aby spoločne oslávili tradičný slovenský folklórny festival.
En: A trio of friends - Marek, Janka, and Peter - had gathered there to celebrate the traditional Slovak folk festival together.

Sk: Marek, chlapček s rošťáckymi očami, mal veľkú srdce a ešte väčšiu túžbu urobiť dojem.
En: Marek, a boy with mischievous eyes, had a big heart and an even bigger desire to impress.

Sk: Peter, ktorý bol trochu súťaživý, sa predvádzal svojimi vynikajúcimi tanečnými schopnosťami.
En: Peter, who was a bit competitive, showcased his excellent dancing skills.

Sk: Medzi nimi stála Janka, dievča so slnečným úsmevom, ktoré mala radosť z každého kroku tanca a melódie, ktoré sa niesli vzduchom.
En: Standing between them was Janka, a girl with a sunny smile who found joy in every step of the dance and the melodies floating through the air.

Sk: Ako tóny heligónky napĺňali vzduch, Marek si povedal, že je čas ukázať Peterovi, čo v ňom je.
En: As the tones of the heligonka filled the air, Marek thought it was time to show Peter what he was made of.

Sk: Vybral si najživšiu melódiu a chystal sa na impozantný výkrok.
En: He chose the liveliest melody and prepared for an impressive move.

Sk: Obliekol si kroj, narovnal si klobúk a s radosťou vo svetle očí čakal na svoju chvíľu.
En: He put on his kroj, straightened his hat, and eagerly awaited his moment.

Sk: Keď hudba naberala na intenzite, Marek sa zapojil do tanca.
En: As the music intensified, Marek joined the dance.

Sk: Robil vysoké skoky, obrátil sa v kroku a potom to prišlo.
En: He leaped high, spun in his steps, and then it happened.

Sk: Ani nevedel ako, ale zrazu cítil, ako sa jeho chodidlo nešťastne postavilo na niečo mäkké.
En: Without even realizing it, he felt his foot land uncomfortably on something soft.

Sk: "Au!
En: "Ouch!"

Sk: " vykríkla Janka prekvapene.
En: exclaimed Janka in surprise.

Sk: Marek, rozptýlený svojim snahou ohromiť Petera, nevšimol si, že na Jankinej nohe leží jeho vlastná noha.
En: Marek, distracted by his efforts to impress Peter, hadn't noticed that he had stepped on Janka's foot.

Sk: Hudba na moment utíchla, keď sa všetky oči obrátili na nich.
En: The music momentarily quieted as all eyes turned to them.

Sk: Marekove lícach horeli hanbou, keď si uvedomil, čo urobil.
En: Marek's cheeks burned with embarrassment as he realized what he had done.

Sk: "Janka, prepáč," ozval sa Marek s prosbou v hlase.
En: "Janka, I'm sorry," Marek said, his voice filled with a plea.

Sk: Janka len zatlačila pery do úsmevu a prevrátila oči.
En: Janka just pressed her lips into a smile and rolled her eyes.

Sk: "To je v poriadku, trošku to bolí, ale prežijem," povedala nežne.
En: "It's okay, it stings a little, but I'll survive," she said gently.

Sk: Marek jej pomohol na nohy a opatrne jej preskúmal nohu.
En: Marek helped her to her feet and carefully examined her foot.

Sk: Peter, ktorý doteraz pozoroval celú situáciu, prišiel bližšie a povedal: "To sa stane, keď je človek príliš zapálený do tanca.
En: Peter, who had been observing the whole situation, approached and said, "It happens when one is too caught up in the dance.

Sk: Ale pozor, nabudúce si davaj väčší pozor na ľudí okolo seba.
En: But be careful, next time pay more attention to the people around you."

Sk: "Priateľmi sa roztiahol teplý úsmev a súčasťou okolo nich ticho chápalo.
En: A warm smile spread among the friends and those around them silently understood.

Sk: V duchu slovenskej pohostinnosti sa tanec rýchlo obnovil, pričom hudobníci hrali ešte energickejšie než predtým.
En: In the spirit of Slovak hospitality, the dance quickly resumed, with the musicians playing even more energetically than before.

Sk: Marek už viac sledoval svoje kroky a snažil sa o to, aby nikomu ďalšiemu neublížil.
En: Marek now paid more attention to his steps and made sure not to harm anyone else.

Sk: Noc pokračovala plná tanca, smiechu a štebotanie priateľov.
En: The night continued full of dance, laughter, and the chatter of friends.

Sk: Janka, so záplatou na nohe, tancovala ďalej s radostnou bezstarostnosťou.
En: Janka, with a bandage on her foot, continued to dance with joyful carefreeness.

Sk: Marek sa poučil z svojej chyby a Peter ich povzbudzoval vo vtipných rýmoch.
En: Marek learned from his mistake, and Peter encouraged them with witty rhymes.

Sk: A keď sa festival blížil ku koncu, trojica sa usmievala pod závojom hviezd, vďační za priateľstvo, ktoré pretrvá aj po nešťastných tancoch.
En: And as the festival neared its end, the trio smiled under the veil of stars, grateful for the friendship that would endure even after the unfortunate dances.

Sk: Na Bratislavskom hrade, kde sa minulé stretá s prítomným, našli spoločne v ich malom dobrodružstve smiech a príbeh, na ktorý budú spomínať roky.
