V sychravom jesennom dni Miroslav stál pri okne v starom sirotínci.

On a dreary autumn day, Miroslav stood by the window in the old orphanage.

Vietor jemne šumel listami vonku a oblaky na oblohe ukrývali slnko.

The wind gently rustled the leaves outside, and the clouds in the sky concealed the sun.

Miroslav zízal von a premýšľal o tom, ako blížiaci sa deň svätého Mikuláša priniesť do sirotinca radosti.

Miroslav gazed out, pondering how to bring joy to the orphanage with the upcoming St. Nicholas' Day.

Bolo to jeho tajné prianie už dávno - usporiadať oslavu, ktorá by všetkým deťom vyčarila úsmev na tvári.

It had long been his secret wish—to organize a celebration that would bring a smile to all the children's faces.

Petra, obdivujúca Miroslava pre jeho odhodlanie a optimizmus, sa k nemu pridala.

Petra, who admired Miroslav for his determination and optimism, joined him.

Pohladila ho po ramene a so zvedavým úškrnom sa pýtala: „Miro, čo plánuješ?

She patted him on the shoulder and asked with a curious grin, "Miro, what are you planning?"

“„Chcem pripraviť Mikulášsku oslavu pre všetky deti.

"I want to prepare a St. Nicholas' celebration for all the children.

Aby sme sa cítili ako veľká rodina,“ odpovedal Miroslav pevne.

So that we can feel like a big family," Miroslav answered firmly.

Jeho modré oči žiarili odhodlaním.

His blue eyes shone with determination.

Oslava si však žiadala viac, ako sirotinec mohol dovoliť.

However, the celebration required more than the orphanage could afford.

Miroslav vedel, že bude potrebné požiadať o pomoc.

Miroslav knew he would need to ask for help.

Spolu s Petrou vymysleli plán, ako začať.

Together with Petra, they devised a plan on how to start.

Rozhodli sa inscenovať predstavenie, do ktorého zapojili ďalšie deti.

They decided to stage a performance involving the other children.

Zároveň však potrebovali pomoc od miestnej komunity.

At the same time, they needed assistance from the local community.

Nasledujúce ráno sa vybrali na cestu do blízkej obce, kde sa konal kultúrny jarmok.

The next morning, they set off for a nearby village where a cultural fair was taking place.

V malebnom mestečku všade vládla predvianočná atmosféra.

In the picturesque town, a pre-Christmas atmosphere prevailed everywhere.

Miroslav a Petra sa predviedli s krátkym programom a oslovili ľudí s prosbou o drobné darčeky a príspevky.

Miroslav and Petra performed a short program and appealed to the people for small gifts and contributions.

Ich odvaha a odhodlanie našli odozvu.

Their courage and determination resonated.

Rôzne stánky im prispeli koláčmi, hračkami a cukríkmi.

Various stalls contributed cakes, toys, and sweets.

Okoloidúci ich počúvali a s úsmevom na tvári prispievali, ako mohli.

Passersby listened to them and, with smiles on their faces, contributed as they could.

Cesta naspäť do sirotinca bola naplnená nielen darčekmi, ale aj radosťou, že ich úsilie prinieslo ovocie.

The journey back to the orphanage was filled not only with gifts but also with the joy that their effort had borne fruit.

Deň svätého Mikuláša sa blížil.

St. Nicholas' Day was approaching.

Ticho v sirotinci prerušilo vrčanie vetra, ktorý sa miešal s detským šuštotom.

The silence in the orphanage was interrupted by the wind's growl, mingling with the children's whispers.

Miroslav s Petrou pripravili všetko na veľkú noc.

Miroslav and Petra prepared everything for the big night.

Ozdobili halu vlastnoručne vyrobenými dekoráciami - papierové snehové vločky a farebné reťaze.

They decorated the hall with handmade decorations—paper snowflakes and colorful chains.

Keď nastala večerná hodina, sirotinec sa začal plniť vôňou škorice a vianočných koláčov.

As evening fell, the orphanage began to fill with the scent of cinnamon and Christmas cakes.

Pripravili deti na predstavenie.

They prepared the children for the performance.

Miroslav v úlohe Mikuláša začal rozdávať poklady, ktoré priniesli z jarmoku.

Miroslav, playing the role of St. Nicholas, began distributing the treasures they brought from the fair.

Veselé tváre detí a ich nadšenie naplnili starý sirotinec novou energiou.

The joyful faces of the children and their enthusiasm filled the old orphanage with new energy.

Smiech a piesne sa niesli vzduchom.

Laughter and songs filled the air.

Postupne si Miroslav uvedomoval, že rodina nie je len o pokrvnom zväzku, ale aj o láske a skúsenostiach, ktoré zdieľame s ostatnými.

Gradually, Miroslav realized that family is not just about blood ties, but also about the love and experiences we share with others.

V tú noc našiel Miroslav v sirotinci to, po čom vždy túžil – pocit patričnosti.

That night, Miroslav found in the orphanage what he had always longed for—a sense of belonging.

A tak, uprostred starého sirotinca medzi šumivými lístkami a voňavými koláčmi, deti oslavovali.

And so, in the midst of the old orphanage, among rustling leaves and fragrant cakes, the children celebrated.

Radostne obklopení priateľmi a miestom, ktoré im konečne pripomínalo domov.

Joyfully surrounded by friends and a place that finally reminded them of home.
