Na trhovisku vymetali teplé letné slnko ostré lúče.

At the market, the warm summer sun swept sharp rays.

Stánky plné miestnych výrobkov a ovocia žiarili farbami a vôňami.

Stalls full of local products and fruits shone with colors and scents.

Medzi predajcami bol aj Jozef.

Among the vendors was Jozef.

Jeho drevorezby obdivovali mnohí návštevníci.

Many visitors admired his wood carvings.

Jozef sa usmieval a vítal záujemcov o jeho umenie.

Jozef smiled and welcomed those interested in his art.

Pod tým úsmevom sa však ukrývala obava.

However, beneath that smile, a worry was hidden.

Ako každý deň, dúfal, že jeho výrobky zostanú bezpečné a nepoškodené.

Like every day, he hoped that his products would remain safe and undamaged.

Alena a Marek, mladý pár, sa zastavil pri Jozefovom stánku.

Alena and Marek, a young couple, stopped by Jozef's stall.

Obzerali krásne vyrezávané sošky a misky.

They admired the beautifully carved statuettes and bowls.

"Tieto sú nádherné," povedala Alena, pohladiac jemne jednu zo sošiek.

"These are wonderful," said Alena, gently touching one of the statuettes.

"Ďakujem," odpovedal Jozef, s hrdosťou v hlase.

"Thank you," replied Jozef, with pride in his voice.

Na oblohe sa z opálového neba začali zbiehať tmavé mraky, ktoré hrozili búrkou.

In the sky, dark clouds began gathering from the opal-colored heavens, threatening a storm.

Náhle zahromilo a trhovisko zaplavilo napätie.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled and the market was filled with tension.

Ľudia sa začali obzerať po úkryte.

People began looking for shelter.

Jozef začal zvíjať rukávy a pripravovať sa na najhoršie.

Jozef started rolling up his sleeves and preparing for the worst.

"Príde búrka," poznamenal Marek, pozrúc na oblohu.

"A storm is coming," noted Marek, looking up at the sky.

Jozef vedel, že musí konať rýchlo.

Jozef knew he had to act quickly.

Nemohol si dovoliť, aby jeho drevorezby zmokli.

He couldn't afford for his wood carvings to get wet.

Keď sa prví kvapky dažďa začali tlačiť na zem, rozhodol sa použiť plachty.

When the first drops of rain began pressing down on the ground, he decided to use tarps.

Snažil sa prikryť všetky svoje výrobky.

He tried to cover all his products.

Bolo to ťažké, pretože vietor sa zintenzívnil.

It was difficult because the wind had intensified.

"Pomôžeme vám," povedala Alena a začala sťahovať jednu z ťažkých plachiet.

"We'll help you," said Alena and began pulling down one of the heavy tarps.

Marek sa pripojil a spolu s Jozefom úspešne zakryli väčšinu stánku.

Marek joined in, and together with Jozef, they successfully covered most of the stall.

Práve včas, keď sa dážď zmenil na prudký lejak.

Just in time, as the rain turned into a heavy downpour.

Búrka na malú chvíľu ustúpila a Jozef vydýchol.

The storm retreated for a short while, and Jozef breathed a sigh of relief.

Výrobky boli čiastočne chránené, no stále hrozila ich strata.

The products were partially protected, but there was still a threat of loss.

Predajcovia v susedných stánkoch začali pomáhať aj ostatným a ponúkali Jozefovi dodatočné prístrešky a plachty.

Vendors from neighboring stalls began helping others as well, offering Jozef additional shelters and tarps.

"Budem tu s tebou, aby sme to zvládli," dodal Marek a usadil sa s Jozefom pod provizórnym prístreškom.

"I'll be here with you so we can handle it," added Marek and settled with Jozef under the makeshift shelter.

Spoločne sledovali kropaje dažďa, ktoré ťukali na plachty.

Together, they watched raindrops tapping on the tarps.

Potom, čo sa posledné hromy rozplynuli a búrka utíchla, trhovisko ožilo.

After the last thunders faded and the storm subsided, the market came to life.

Jozef vďačne pozeral na svoj nepoškodený stánok a výrobky.

Jozef gratefully viewed his undamaged stall and products.

Ľudia sa na trhovisko vracali, vrátane Aleny a Mareka.

People were returning to the market, including Alena and Marek.

"Ďakujem vám," povedal Jozef so širokým úsmevom.

"Thank you," said Jozef with a broad smile.

"Len vďaka vám som zvládol tieto nepríjemnosti.

"It's only because of you that I managed these difficulties."

""To nič, radi sme pomohli," odpovedala Alena srdečne.

"It's nothing, we were glad to help," replied Alena warmly.

Jozef pocítil kúsok zmierenia.

Jozef felt a piece of reconciliation.

Uvedomil si, že v ťažkých časoch nie je sám.

He realized that in hard times, he is not alone.

Má okolo seba ľudí, na ktorých sa môže spoľahnúť.

He has people around him he can rely on.

Ráno po búrke prinieslo nové nádeje a nové priateľstvá.

The morning after the storm brought new hopes and new friendships.

Jozef teraz vedel, že v skutku nezáleží len na predaji jeho výrobkov, ale aj na spojení, ktoré vytvoril s ľuďmi okolo seba.

Jozef now knew that it truly wasn't just about selling his products, but also about the connections he created with the people around him.

Trhovisko sa opäť presvetlilo slnkom a smiechom zásluhou priateľstva a spoločnej pomoci.

The market was once again illuminated by the sun and laughter thanks to friendship and mutual help.
