2:02Myloslau kračalz o čami plení zvedavosti. Ból mylovníkom historie a čachtický hradból preneho a koně otvore nákníha. Kcel ziskať presný obraz historie hradu, abi mohol ogúriť svoje historické klubové okolje. Zuzana sa smiela. Milovala parodovať vážnost chvíle. Našla zvláštní povap v tom, ako všetkom može byť podane z humorom. Na pravej ruke mala lenku, praktickú priatelku, ktorá sa postarala o všetko potrebné. Lenka zosebou vláčila zásobíjedla a nudzovú lekarničku, no bola vystrašená skáždjejne očakávanej veci, ako tomu bola tentorás. Ket vstupili do rozborenej nádvoria, niečo niečakane sa stalo. Z gustého križia sa vino rila

3:05skupinka oblečena v stredovekých oblekoch. Ich prata vojvodou a prince zjenznila, ako by bola poskladana z útrškou dětských kných. Bolto smiešný víjau, ktorý zahitil zuzaníne očí. Znou sa rozochval vlonil hichot. Pozri, milo slau, ritjeri zmlieční cesty, žartovala zuzana. To to je absurdné, kloktál milo slau, snažiat sa kontrolovať hnevlivé piavi preníkajúce do jeho načenia. Musím im povedet, ako sa to udělo náozaj. Lenka, rozpačitá a zozvyšenou citlivostou na nepredvidatelné, napinala ušina pre užijelencou, pripravená, že sa niečo staně. Milo slau sa snažil pretlačit ce s vtipnu atmosferu a napravit ichibi. V tom okamihúho však jeden zhercou, v role zleho ritiera, vizvalna, súboj.

4:10Nebojsa to je len akože, zuzana povzbudzovala zúžknom. Milo slau hitil meč a zamával. Hoci amaterski, stal sa sučastjou náladovej sceni. Zrazu sa jeho vážnost drostratila na tisickúskou, keď me čelen zlakhka cvengali vzduchom. Le dva potlačil směch. Zuzana a lenka sa směli tak, že im těkli slozi policach. Atmosfera bola vesela a neodolatelná. Nakon jedzmilo slau odstupoval od pretrvavaju cich predstav o vážnej historii. Směl sa z nimi. Zistil, že humor, ten najlokší privlak pameti, može niekedy pridat historii vrstvi, a ke ne dokáže zakrydži jednak níha. Zrucaniny sa uložili do svojho zimného ticha. A zmáleho výkendoveho výletu sa stalanie zabudnutel nás pomienka,

5:16ktorá spojila všetky ich umisli do hromady. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The winter had taken over the ancient ruins of Kaktiki rad. Khladný větor sa prehálce spuste stromi, a suche listi tancovali věhoš kripaju cich pažerákoch. A cold wind swept through the barren trees, and dry leaves danced in its creaky throats. The stones of the castle stood silent and majestic, like old guardians of ancient secrets. Milo slouc račal z očami plný zvedavosti. Milo slouc walked with eyes full of curiosity. Bol Milo vnikom historie, a čachčický hradbol preneho, a koně otvorená kníha.

6:18He was a lover of history, and Kaktiki rad was like an unopened book to him. He wanted to get an accurate picture of the castle's history of the castle's history of history. He wanted to get an accurate picture of the castle's history of the castle's history of history. He wanted to get an accurate picture of the castle's history, so he could impress his historical club friends. She loved to parody the seriousness of the moment. She found a peculiar charm in how everything could be presented with humor.

7:25On her right arm, she had Lenka, a practical friend who took care of everything necessary. Lenka carried supplies of food and an emergency kit, but was frightened by every unexpected thing, just like this time. As they entered the crumbled courtyard, something unexpected happened. A group dressed in medieval costumes emerged from the dense underbrush.

8:29Their chatter of dukes and princesses sounded as if it was pieced together from scraps of children's books. It was a funny spectacle that caught Zuzana's eyes and a wave of laughter washed over her. Look, Miloslav, Knights from the Milky Way, joke, Zuzana. This is absurd, Muddered Miloslav trying to control the angry spikes infiltrating his enthusiasm.

9:29I must tell them how it really happened. Lenka, embarrassed and more sensitive to the unpredictable, sharpened her ears to the babble, ready for something to happen. Miloslav tried to push through the humorous atmosphere to correct their errors. At that moment, however, one of the actors in the role of an evil knight challenged him to a duel.

10:32Don't worry, it's just pretend. Zuzana encouraged with a smirk. Miloslav grabbed a sword and waved it. Although amateurish, he became part of the whimsical scene. Suddenly, his seriousness shattered into a thousand pieces when swords only lightly clanged in the air. He could barely suppress his laughter. Zuzana and Lenka laughed so hard that tears streamed down their cheeks.

11:35The atmosphere was joyful and irresistible. In the end, Miloslav stepped away from his lingering notions of serious history. He laughed with them. He realized that humor, the best conduit of memory, can sometimes add layers to history that no book can cover. The ruins settled into their winter silence.
