Story Transcript:

Sk: V objatí teplého letného slnka kamenný internát stál hrdo na kopci.
En: In the embrace of the warm summer sun, the stone dormitory stood proudly on the hill.

Sk: Jeho staré múry porastené brečtanom priam žiarili v jasnom svetle.
En: Its old ivy-covered walls gleamed in the bright light.

Sk: Vo vnútri bolo počuť študentov, ktorí sa náhlili po ozývajúcich sa chodbách.
En: Inside, the sound of students rushing through the echoing corridors could be heard.

Sk: V izbách bolo útulne, aj keď boli v starobylom prostredí.
En: In the rooms, it was cozy, even though they were in an ancient setting.

Sk: Dominika sedela pri stole v svojej izbe.
En: Dominika sat at the table in her room.

Sk: Jej zošity boli otvorené a oči sa jej ťažko sústredili na riadky.
En: Her notebooks were open, and her eyes struggled to focus on the lines.

Sk: Potrebovala sa učiť, aby udržala svoje štipendium, ale červené svrbiace miesta na jej rukách ju rozptyľovali.
En: She needed to study to maintain her scholarship, but the red itchy spots on her hands distracted her.

Sk: „Prečo len mám tieto vyrážky?“ premýšľala nahlas, keď si nervózne škrabala predlaktie.
En: "Why do I have these rashes?" she thought aloud as she nervously scratched her forearm.

Sk: V minulosti sa jej nikdy žiadne alergie neobjavili; pre ňu to bolo nové a nepríjemné.
En: She had never had any allergies before; it was new and unpleasant for her.

Sk: Marek, jej kamarát, sa objavil vo dverách.
En: Marek, her friend, appeared at the door.

Sk: Mal v rukách futbalovú loptu a výraz plný momentálneho nadšenia.
En: He had a soccer ball in his hands and an expression full of momentary excitement.

Sk: „Dominika! Poď von, je krásne!“
En: "Dominika! Come outside, it's beautiful!"

Sk: „Nemôžem, Marek. Musím sa učiť. A tieto vyrážky ma otravujú,“ povzdychla si.
En: "I can't, Marek. I have to study. And these rashes are bothering me," she sighed.

Sk: „Možno by si mala zistiť, odkiaľ to je. Ja by som sa išiel spýtať učiteľky alebo niekoho, kto by mohol vedieť,“ navrhol Marek, keď videl, ako sa trápi.
En: "Maybe you should find out where it's coming from. I would go ask the teacher or someone who might know," suggested Marek, seeing her distress.

Sk: V ten večer, keď na chodbe prechádzala okolo izbovej spolubývajúcej Ivetinej izby, všimla si rastliny na parapete.
En: That evening, as she was passing by her roommate Iveta's room, she noticed the plants on the windowsill.

Sk: Iveta bola práve vo vnútri a starala sa o ne.
En: Iveta was inside taking care of them.

Sk: Dominika zaklopala a opatrne vkročila dnu.
En: Dominika knocked and cautiously stepped inside.

Sk: „Iveta, môžeme sa porozprávať?
En: "Iveta, can we talk?

Sk: Mám pocit, že moje vyrážky začali, keď si priniesla tieto rastliny.
En: I have a feeling that my rashes started when you brought these plants.

Sk: Nechcem ťa obviňovať, ale možno sú to oni,“ vysvetlila Dominika s trochou nervozity.
En: I don't want to blame you, but maybe it's them," Dominika explained with some nervousness.

Sk: Iveta bola prekvapená, ale nebránila sa.
En: Iveta was surprised but didn't resist.

Sk: „Oh, Dominika, to som nevedela.
En: "Oh, Dominika, I didn't know.

Sk: Na ani mi nenapadlo, že by to mohlo niekomu uškodiť.
En: It never occurred to me that it could harm someone.

Sk: Hneď ich presuniem do spoločenskej miestnosti.“
En: I'll move them to the common room right away."

Sk: Keď rastliny zmizli z izby, Dominikine vyrážky sa postupne zlepšovali.
En: Once the plants were removed from the room, Dominika's rashes gradually improved.

Sk: Zvládla sa znovu sústrediť na štúdium a cítila sa uvoľnenejšie.
En: She managed to focus on her studies again and felt more relaxed.

Sk: Iveta, pocítiac vinu, ponúkla Dominike, že ju bude doučovať z matematiky.
En: Feeling guilty, Iveta offered to tutor Dominika in math.

Sk: Dominika sa prekvapene usmiala a súhlasila.
En: Dominika smiled, surprised, and agreed.

Sk: Spolu začali študovať, nie len kvôli dobrým známkám, ale aj preto, aby lepšie pochopili jedna druhú.
En: They began studying together, not just for good grades, but also to understand each other better.

Sk: „Ďakujem ti, Iveta. Pomohla si mi viac, než som čakala,“ povedala Dominika úprimne.
En: "Thank you, Iveta. You helped me more than I expected," Dominika said sincerely.

Sk: „Nie je zač. Aj ja som sa naučila, že si musím dávať pozor na to, čo robím,“ odpovedala Iveta s úlľavou.
En: "You're welcome. I've also learned that I need to be careful about what I do," replied Iveta with relief.

Sk: Leto pri internáte pokračovalo v plnom prúde.
En: Summer at the dormitory continued in full swing.

Sk: Kvety na trávniku vonku prekvitali a Dominika s Ivetou sa pomaly stávali nielen spolužiačkami, ale aj priateľkami.
En: Flowers on the lawn outside were flourishing, and Dominika and Iveta were slowly becoming not just classmates but friends.

Sk: Naučili sa, že otvorenosť a komunikácia sú dôležité a že pomocnú ruku možno nájsť tam, kde by to ani nečakali.
En: They learned that openness and communication are important and that they might find a helping hand where they least expected it.
