Story Transcript:

Sk: Pomaly sa prebúdzalo ráno v tieni hory Kriváň.
En: In the shadow of the Kriváň mountain, morning slowly awakened.

Sk: Peter a Eva, spolu s ich dobrým priateľom Jánom, sa rozhodli zdolať túto pýchu slovenských veľhôr.
En: Peter and Eva, along with their good friend Ján, decided to conquer this pride of the Slovak high mountains.

Sk: Bola to chladná jeseň a stromy sa už hrali s paletou farieb.
En: It was a chilly autumn, and the trees were already playing with a palette of colors.

Sk: Musíme dbať na značky, pripomínala Eva, keď sa trojica vybrala na túru.
En: We must pay attention to the signs, Eva reminded as the trio set off on a hike.

Sk: Jan sa zasmial: S tebou sa nemôžeme stratiť, Eva.
En: Jan laughed, We won't get lost with you, Eva.

Sk: Peter mal v sebe dobrodruha a rád si chodil po svojom.
En: Peter had the spirit of an adventurer and liked to wander on his own.

Sk: Čakajte, idem sa iba pozrieť na túto roklinu, zvolal a už stúpal po strmejšej pôde.
En: Wait, I'll just go and take a look at this gorge, he exclaimed as he started climbing the steeper ground.

Sk: Eva s Jánom pokračovali po chodníku.
En: Eva and Ján continued along the trail.

Sk: Cas plynie a Peter poslúchal ticho prírody,
En: As time passed, Peter listened to the quiet of nature.

Sk: ale keď sa rozhodol vrátiť k priateľom, zistil, že nevie, odkiaľ prišiel.
En: But when he decided to return to his friends, he found that he didn't know where he came from.

Sk: Hľadal cestu späť, ale každá kopeček a roklina vyzerá tak isto.
En: He looked for the way back, but every hill and ravine looked the same.

Sk: Po dlhom blúdení narazil Peter na rozsiahlu lúku, kde sa páslo stádo oviec.
En: After wandering for a long time, Peter suddenly came upon a vast meadow where a flock of sheep grazed.

Sk: V diaľke uvidel drevenú chatu, a tak sa vybral jej smerom.
En: In the distance, he saw a wooden hut and headed toward it.

Sk: U chýše ho privítal starý pastier.
En: He was welcomed by an old shepherd at the hut.

Sk: Zablúdil som, priznal Peter.
En: I got lost, admitted Peter.

Sk: V horách sa to často stáva, usmial sa pastier a ponúkol mu miesto pri ohni.
En: It often happens in the mountains, the shepherd smiled and offered him a place by the fire.

Sk: Peter počúval príbehy starého muža, zatiaľ čo pastier zdieľal svoj jednoduchý obed.
En: Peter listened to the old man's stories while the shepherd shared his simple meal.

Sk: Medzitým Eva s Jánom vyšli na vrchol Kriváňa a zistili, že Peter nie je nikde.
En: Meanwhile, Eva and Ján reached the summit of Kriváň and realized that Peter was nowhere to be found.

Sk: S obavami sa rozhodli zavolať horskú záchrannú službu.
En: They decided to call the mountain rescue service with concern.

Sk: Záchranári oskenovali oblasť a urýchlene išli hľadať.
En: Rescuers scanned the area and quickly went to search.

Sk: Keď súmrak padal na krásne doliny, pastier ponúkol Petrovi lôžko na noc,
En: As dusk fell over the beautiful valleys, the shepherd offered Peter a bed for the night,

Sk: ale skôr, ako sa stihol uložiť, ozval sa zvuk sirén.
En: but before he could settle down, the sound of sirens was heard.

Sk: Eva a Ján, spolu so záchranármi, našli chatu podľa núdzových svetiel.
En: Eva and Ján, along with the rescuers, found the hut using emergency lights.

Sk: Objímania boli srdečné a obavy sa zmenili na úľavu.
En: The embraces were heartfelt, and worries turned into relief.

Sk: Peter poďakoval pastierovi a sľúbil si, že nabudúce už nebude opúšťať značenú trasu.
En: Peter thanked the shepherd and promised that he would not leave the marked trail again.

Sk: Na ceste späť do údolia sa trojica rozprávala o svojich dobrodružstvách a úzkostiach.
En: On the way back to the valley, the trio talked about their adventures and anxieties.

Sk: A hoci Peterovým zámerom nebolo spôsobiť starosti, jeho neplánované dobrodružstvo ich spojilo ešte viac.
En: And although Peter's intention was not to cause worry, his unplanned adventure brought them even closer.

Sk: Keď dosiahli svoje autá, hviezdy už svietili na čistej nočnej oblohe.
En: When they reached their cars, the stars were already shining in the clear night sky.

Sk: Na Kriváň nikdy nezabudneme, povedal Peter, keď sa všetci trochu unavene usmievali.
En: We will never forget Kriváň, said Peter as they all smiled a little wearily.

Sk: A tak ich príbeh o puto obrovských veľhôr a nečakaných priateľstiev sa skončil sladkým návratom domov.
En: And so their story of the connection with the towering mountains and unexpected friendships ended with a sweet return home.
