V jarnej Rosine, v malej dedine, sa obyvatelia zhromaždili v komunitnom centre.
In the spring Rosina, in a small village, the residents gathered at the community center.
Bolo tu živé a hlučné prostredie.
There was a lively and noisy atmosphere.
Mnohí ľudia prišli prejaviť svoju vôľu a odovzdať hlas.
Many people came to express their will and cast their votes.
Dekorácie z jarných kvetov a farebné bannery dodávali miestu veselú atmosféru.
Decorations of spring flowers and colorful banners gave the place a cheerful ambiance.
Medzi nimi stála Zuzana, s tvárou plnou odhodlania.
Among them stood Zuzana, with a face full of determination.
Vedľa nej v rade trpezlivo čakal Šimon, zamyslený nad tým, či jeho hlas naozaj niečo zmení.
Next to her in line, Šimon patiently waited, pondering whether his vote would really change anything.
Zuzana si podržala svoju kabelku a hoci ju trápili zdravotné problémy, nechcela o nich hovoriť nikomu.
Zuzana clutched her purse and, although she was troubled by health issues, she did not want to talk about them with anyone.
Verila v silu individuálnej akcie.
She believed in the power of individual action.
Šimon sa tu dnes cítil trochu nesvoj.
Šimon felt a bit uneasy today.
Cítil zodpovednosť za svoju obec, ale obavy ho stále tlačili.
He felt responsibility for his community, but worries still weighed on him.
"Má môj hlas dopad?
"Does my vote have an impact?"
" kládol si tú otázku znova a znova.
he kept asking himself the question over and over.
Zrazu sa udialo niečo nečakané.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Zuzana sa zachytila za stoličku pri stene a pomaly padala.
Zuzana grabbed onto a chair by the wall and slowly fell.
Šimon okamžite vystúpil z rady a ponáhľal sa k nej.
Šimon immediately stepped out of line and hurried to her.
Ostatní ľudia sa zhromaždili okolo nich, ponúkajúc svoju pomoc.
Other people gathered around, offering their help.
Zuzana sa postupne preberala, hoci bola stále slabá.
Zuzana gradually regained consciousness, although she was still weak.
„Som v poriadku,“ zašepkala, snažiac sa vstať.
"I'm okay," she whispered, trying to stand up.
Šimon videl jej odhodlanie a bol prekvapený jej odvahou.
Šimon saw her determination and was surprised by her bravery.
Bez váhania jej pomohol postaviť sa na nohy.
Without hesitation, he helped her to her feet.
„Nie, musíš si odpočinúť,“ navrhoval jemne.
"No, you need to rest," he gently suggested.
Zuzanin pohľad bol neoblomný.
Zuzana's gaze was resolute.
"Musím voliť," presviedčala ho s drobným úsmevom.
"I must vote," she persuaded him with a slight smile.
„Dobre, ale idem s tebou.
"Alright, but I'm going with you.
Nemôžeš tu byť sama,“ povedal Šimon rozhodne.
You can't be here alone," Šimon said decisively.
Spolu pomaly kráčali ku hlasovaciemu stolu.
Together they slowly walked to the voting table.
Iní voliči ustupovali, aby im uvoľnili cestu.
Other voters stepped back to give them space.
Vďaka Šimonovej podpore si Zuzana našla miesto a vhodila svoj hlas do urny.
With Šimon's support, Zuzana found a place and cast her vote into the ballot box.
Šimon urobil to isté, cítiac vnútorný pokoj po pomoci.
Šimon did the same, feeling an inner peace after helping.
Keď sa obaja konečne dostali von na jarné slnko, cítili sa navzájom posilnení.
When the two finally stepped out into the spring sun, they felt empowered by each other.
"Poďme spolu na čaj," navrhla Zuzana.
"Let's go for tea together," Zuzana suggested.
„Áno, rád, rozprávajme sa o tom, čo môžeme urobiť pre našu komunitu,“ súhlasil Šimon s úsmevom.
"Yes, gladly, let's talk about what we can do for our community," Šimon agreed with a smile.
Zuzana pochopila, že jej zdravie je dôležité, aby mohla bojovať za to, v čo verí.
Zuzana understood that her health is important so she can fight for what she believes in.
Šimon si uvedomil, že malý čin pomoci môže byť rovnako dôležitý ako volebný hlas.
Šimon realized that a small act of help can be just as important as a voting ballot.
Spolu sa vydali v ústrety novému dňu, vedomí si, že ich skutky majú zmysel.
Together, they set out towards a new day, aware that their actions have meaning.
