Široké polia farmy ležali vo svojej jesennej kráse.

The wide fields of the farm lay in their autumn beauty.

Listy jemne šušťali a nad nimi sa vynárali tmavé oblaky.

Leaves rustled gently, and dark clouds loomed above them.

Marek stál na okraji jedného z polí, pozorne sledoval oblohu.

Marek stood at the edge of one of the fields, watching the sky intently.

Vedel, že sa blíži búrka.

He knew a storm was approaching.

Vedel, že musí byť rýchly, ak chce zachrániť úrodu.

He knew he had to act quickly if he wanted to save the harvest.

"Marek!

"Marek!

Poď, potrebujeme pomoc," zavolala na neho Jana, jeho sestra, pevná a energická, ako vždy.

Come, we need help," called Jana, his sister, strong and energetic as always.

Marek sa zachmúril.

Marek frowned.

Nechcel žiadať nikoho iného o pomoc.

He didn’t want to ask anyone else for help.

Cítil, že to musí urobiť sám, aby splnil sľub, ktorý dal rodičom — udržať farmu v bezpečí.

He felt he had to do it alone to fulfill the promise he made to his parents—to keep the farm safe.

"Zvládneme to, Janka.

"We can manage, Jana.

Len musíme začať," povedal Marek, bol rozhodnutý.

We just have to start," Marek said, determined.

Ale už teraz vedel, že to možno nebude stačiť.

But he already knew it might not be enough.

Jana, s jej večným optimizmom, pripravila plán.

Jana, with her perpetual optimism, had a plan ready.

"Marek, povedala som niekoľkým susedom.

"Marek, I told some neighbors.

Radi prídu pomôcť.

They are happy to come help.

Musíme ich len zavolať.

We just need to call them."

" Marek sa na ňu pozrel s pochybnosťou, ale vnútri si začínal uvedomovať, že možno nemá na výber.

Marek looked at her doubtfully, but internally he began to realize that he might not have a choice.

Vietor začal svišťať okolo nich, obloha sa zatiahla a prvé hromi zahrmili z diaľky.

The wind began to whistle around them, the sky darkened, and the first thunder rumbled in the distance.

"Dobre.

"Alright.

Zavolaj ich," súril Marek, prekonaný tým, čo považoval za svoje vlastné obmedzenie — potrebou požiadať o pomoc.

Call them," Marek urged, overcoming what he considered his own limitation— the need to ask for help.

Jana sa usmiala a rýchlo sa rozbehla k domu, aby kontaktovala susedov.

Jana smiled and quickly ran to the house to contact the neighbors.

Netrvalo dlho a malý zástup ľudí sa objavil na okraji pole.

It didn’t take long for a small crowd of people to appear at the edge of the field.

Všetci priniesli košíky, vrecia a optimizmus.

They all brought baskets, sacks, and optimism.

Zatiaľ čo Marek zvyčajne robil všetko sám, zrazu pocítil zvláštnu úľavu.

While Marek usually did everything alone, he suddenly felt a strange relief.

S ich pomocou šla práca rýchlo.

With their help, the work went quickly.

Napätie pomaly opadávalo a polia sa plnili úspešne zozbieranými plodinami.

The tension slowly eased, and the fields filled with successfully harvested crops.

Len čo posledný riadok bol hotový, z oblohy začali padať ťažké kvapky dažďa.

Just as the last row was finished, heavy drops of rain began to fall from the sky.

Pozrel na Janku a usmial sa.

He looked at Jana and smiled.

"Toto bolo skutočné," povedal ticho, pričom myslel na tú chvíľu spolupráce, ktorá zachránila ich úrodu.

"This was real," he said quietly, referring to that moment of cooperation that saved their harvest.

Jana sa k nemu priblížila a povedala: "Vieš, Marek, niekedy je v poriadku požiadať o pomoc.

Jana approached him and said, "You know, Marek, sometimes it's okay to ask for help.

Nie je to slabosť.

It’s not a weakness.

Je to sila.

It’s a strength."

"Marek prikývol, teraz vedel, že mal skutočných priateľov, na ktorých sa mohol spoľahnúť.

Marek nodded, now knowing he had true friends he could rely on.

Aj keď večer vstúpili do starého, časom opotrebovaného domu mokrí, ich srdcia boli plné vďačnosti.

Even though they entered the old, time-worn house wet, their hearts were full of gratitude.

Spoločne dosiahli úspech.

Together, they had achieved success.

Odvtedy Marek vedel, že farmu netvorí len pôda a plodiny, ale aj ľudia okolo neho, pripravení podať ruku, kedykoľvek bude treba.

From then on, Marek knew that the farm wasn’t just about the soil and crops, but also the people around him, ready to lend a hand whenever needed.
