  • Bratislavská zoologická záhrada bola plná zvukov a farieb.

    The Bratislavská zoo was full of sounds and colors.

  • Opice sa chichotali a vzdialený lev občas zareval.

    The monkeys giggled and a distant lion occasionally roared.

  • Slnko svietilo cez listy stromov, tieňovalo chodníky a letné kvety žiarili okolo.

    The sun shone through the leaves of the trees, shadowing the paths, and summer flowers glowed all around.

  • Všade sa ozýval smiech detí a občasný piskot papagájov.

    Children's laughter resonated everywhere, along with the occasional squawk of parrots.

  • Marek kráčal vedľa svojej sestry Lenky.

    Marek walked alongside his sister Lenka.

  • Dnes chcel zabudnúť, čo sa stalo doma.

    Today, he wanted to forget what had happened at home.

  • Ich rodičia im včera oznámili, že sa musia presťahovať.

    Their parents had told them yesterday that they had to move.

  • „Pozri, Lenka, tam sú žirafy,“ povedal Marek a ukázal smerom k ich výbehu.

    "Look, Lenka, there are the giraffes," Marek said, pointing towards their enclosure.

  • Lenka však len pokrčila ramená.

    However, Lenka just shrugged.

  • Bola smutná, pretože mala nechať za sebou školu a kamarátky.

    She was sad because she had to leave her school and friends behind.

  • „Nepomôže to, Marek,“ odpovedala sucho.

    "It won't help, Marek," she replied dryly.

  • „Všetko sa zmení.

    "Everything is going to change."

  • “Marek vedel, ako sa cíti, ale nechcel, aby bol ich deň v zoo pokazený.

    Marek knew how she felt but didn't want their day at the zoo to be ruined.

  • Rozhodol sa, že sa jej otvorí.

    He decided to open up to her.

  • Zastavili sa pred dosiek morské levy.

    They stopped in front of the seal show.

  • Mali začať ďalšiu show.

    It was about to start.

  • Deti okolo ich sledovali s nadšením.

    The children around watched with excitement.

  • Vzduchom sa šíril vôňa čerstvého popcornu.

    The smell of fresh popcorn filled the air.

  • „Lenka, vieš.

    "Lenka, you know...

  • aj ja som nervózny.

    I'm nervous too.

  • Nechcem odísť od kamarátov.

    I don't want to leave my friends.

  • Bojím sa, čo bude ďalej,“ priznal ticho Marek.

    I'm scared about what's next," Marek admitted quietly.

  • Lenka na neho pozrela prekvapene.

    Lenka looked at him surprised.

  • „Vážne?

    "Really?

  • Myslela som, že teba to netrápi.

    I thought you weren't bothered by it."

  • “„Traumatizuje to všetkých.

    "It bothers everyone.

  • Ale ak sme spolu, môžeme zvládnuť čokoľvek,“ usmial sa Marek a stisol jej rameno.

    But if we stick together, we can handle anything," Marek smiled and squeezed her shoulder.

  • V tej chvíli začala šou.

    At that moment, the show began.

  • Morské levy skákali cez obruče a tlieskali.

    The seals jumped through hoops and clapped.

  • Publikum sa smialo.

    The audience laughed.

  • Lenka sa konečne usmiala.

    Lenka finally smiled.

  • Pochopila, že nie je sama.

    She realized she wasn't alone.

  • „Dobre, Marek.

    "Alright, Marek.

  • Bude to lepšie.

    It will get better.

  • Spolu to zvládneme,“ povedala a chytila ho za ruku.

    Together, we'll manage," she said and took his hand.

  • Keď odchádzali zo zoologickej záhrady, obaja cítili, že majú novú silu.

    As they left the zoo, both felt that they had newfound strength.

  • Marek pochopil, že zdieľať svoje obavy je v poriadku.

    Marek understood that sharing his worries was okay.

  • Lenka vedela, že nie je jediná, kto má obavy.

    Lenka knew she wasn't the only one with fears.

  • A tak, hoci im ostávalo mnoho neistôt, aspoň v ten deň v Bratislavskej zoo našli trochu pokoja.

    And so, despite many uncertainties awaiting them, at least on that day in the Bratislavská zoo, they found a bit of peace.
