Na kopci, kde pramení jemný potôčik, stojí starý sirotinec.

On the hill, where a gentle stream springs, stands an old orphanage.

V jeho záhrade práve prebúdzajúce sa kvety oznamujú blížiacu sa jar.

In its garden, the newly awakening flowers announce the approaching spring.

Marek, plný fantázie a energie, miloval tieto miesta.

Marek, full of imagination and energy, loved these places.

Mal zvláštny sen – jedného dňa stretnúť veľkonočného zajaca.

He had a special dream – to one day meet the Easter Bunny.

Vonku svietilo slnko.

Outside, the sun was shining.

Nad sirotincom už jarne štebotali vtáky.

Above the orphanage, the birds were already chirping in the spring air.

Marek tam postával, zamyslený nad tým, ako by splnil svoj sen.

Marek stood there, contemplating how he could fulfill his dream.

Náhle zahliadol v kroví niečo biele a pohyblivé.

Suddenly, he caught sight of something white and moving in the bushes.

"To je on!

"That's him!"

" zašepkal si sám pre seba, oči plápolajúce nadšením.

he whispered to himself, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Bol si istý, že je to veľkonočný zajac a okamžite sa ho pokúsil chytiť.

He was sure it was the Easter Bunny and immediately tried to catch it.

Skočil do krovia, ale rýchlo zistil, že to nebolo také jednoduché.

He leaped into the bushes, but quickly realized that it wasn't that simple.

Kríky ho zakliesnili a Marek ostal uviaznutý medzi konármi.

The branches trapped him, and Marek was stuck among them.

Jana a Peter ho počuli vykríknuť, ale mysleli si, že videl len veveričku.

Jana and Peter heard him shout, but they thought he had just seen a squirrel.

Obaja smiali sa jeho nadšeniu, no rozhodli sa pomôcť mu.

Both laughed at his enthusiasm, but decided to help him.

„Nebraň sa, Marek,“ smiala sa Jana, kým ho oslobodzovali.

"Don't struggle, Marek," laughed Jana as they freed him.

Marek však mal stále svoj plán.

However, Marek still had his plan.

"Poďte, urobíme pascu!

"Come on, let's make a trap!"

" navrhol nadšene.

he suggested excitedly.

Jana a Peter nevedeli odolať jeho energii a pridali sa k nemu.

Jana and Peter couldn't resist his energy and joined him.

Spoločne zozbierali provizórne materiály – staré krabice, povraz, jablko ako návnadu a ešte Marekov klobúk na dotvorenie pasce.

Together they gathered makeshift materials – old boxes, rope, an apple as bait, and even Marek's hat to complete the trap.

S úzkym úsmevom pichli jablko na miesto a všetci traja zaliezli do odlahlého kúta, čakajúc na svoju korisť.

With a mischievous smile, they placed the apple in position and all three hid in a distant corner, waiting for their catch.

Netrvalo dlho a pasca sa aktivovala – niečím rozruchom v nej.

It wasn't long before the trap was triggered – by some commotion within it.

Deti vyskočili, bežali k pasci, ale namiesto zajaca našli Mareka sám seba – s klobúkom na hlave a všetkým okolo seba rozhádzaným.

The children jumped up, ran to the trap, but instead of a bunny, they found Marek himself – with his hat on his head and everything around him scattered.

Smiech znel celou záhradou.

Laughter echoed throughout the garden.

Pani hospodárka, ktorá sledovala dianie z okna, nemohla už dlhšie utajovať svoju radosť.

The matron, who was watching from the window, could no longer conceal her delight.

S úškrnom vstúpila do záhrady a priniesla so sebou skutočný set na veľkonočné hľadanie vajíčok.

With a grin, she entered the garden and brought with her a real Easter egg hunt kit.

„Každý z vás si niečo nájde,“ zakričela, keď ich vyzývala k hľadaniu.

"Each of you will find something," she called out as she invited them to search.

Nakoniec Marek pochopil, že nie vždy musí byť sám, keď hľadá svoje sny.

In the end, Marek understood that he didn't always have to be alone when chasing his dreams.

Niekedy je najväčším pokladom zdieľať smiech a dobrodružstvo s priateľmi, i keď je skutočný veľkonočný zajac možno len prejavom fantázie.

Sometimes the greatest treasure is sharing laughter and adventure with friends, even if the real Easter Bunny might just be a figment of imagination.

A tak chlapec, dievča a ich kamarát, všetci traja v objatí jarnej radosti, prehľadávali malú, no živú záhradu na svahu a užívali si veľkonočné radosti, hlava plná snov, srdce plné radosti.

And so the boy, the girl, and their friend, all three embraced by the joy of spring, searched through the small but lively garden on the hillside, enjoying the Easter delights, heads full of dreams, hearts full of joy.
