En: In the center of Bratislava, a big fair was taking place where people had the opportunity to see traditional Slovak folk dances.

Sk: Martin, Mária a Tomáš, traja dobrí priatelia, sa tešili, pretože sa chystali na svoje prvé verejné vystúpenie.
En: Martin, Mária, and Tomáš, three good friends, were excited because they were preparing for their first public performance.

Sk: Martin, vysoký a svalnatý, bol veľmi hrdý na svoj nový kroj, ktorý dostal od starej mamy.

En: Martin and Mária danced wonderfully, and their laughter filled the air.

Sk: Tomáš sa však pomýlil a namiesto toho, aby skočil doprava, skočil priamo na Martinovu nohu.
En: However, Tomáš made a mistake and instead of jumping to the right, he jumped directly onto Martin's foot.

Sk: Martin sa zachytil, ale prekvapením a nečakaným pohybom spôsobil, že Mária sa začala potácať.
En: Martin managed to keep his balance, but the surprise and unexpected movement caused Mária to stumble.

Sk: V ten okamih sa Mária neúmyselne dotkla jedného z divákov, ktorý mal na ruke veľké porcie tradičných bryndzových halušiek.
En: In that moment, Mária accidentally touched one of the spectators, who had a plate of traditional bryndza halušky in his hand.

Sk: Halušky vyleteli do vzduchu a pristáli na hlave mestského radcu, ktorý si práve pochutnával na pohár slivovice.
En: The halušky flew into the air and landed on the head of the city councilor, who was enjoying a glass of slivovice.

Sk: Prestali sa trápiť svojím tancom a namiesto toho začali vo veselej nálade zbierať halušky zo zeme a ponúknuť ich späť publiku.
