En: In the warm autumn, when the leaves turned golden and red, Viktor traveled north. Sk: Jeho cieľom bola malá osada v Laponsku, kde žila komunita Sámi. En: His destination was a small settlement in Lapland, where a community of Sámi lived. Sk: Ticho severnej prírody ho vítalo chladným vetrom a pokojom. En: The silent northern nature welcomed him with a cold wind and tranquility. Sk: Viktor bol muž plný zvedavosti. En: Viktor was a man full of curiosity. Sk: Chcel spoznať kultúru Sámi, ich tradície, a zažiť pôvab polárnych svetiel na vlastnej koži. En: He wanted to know the Sámi culture, their traditions, and experience the charm of the northern lights firsthand. Sk: No hlboko vnútri pociťoval obavy. En: Yet deep inside, he felt apprehension. Sk: Obával sa, že nebude prijatý. En: He feared he would not be accepted. Sk: Vedel, že jazyková bariéra môže byť problém. En: He knew the language barrier could be a problem. Sk: Ale jeho túžba po poznaní bola silnejšia než strach. En: But his desire for knowledge was stronger than his fear. Sk: V malebnej dedinke ho privítala Katarína, žena s úsmevom zohrievajúcim ako oheň. En: In the picturesque village, he was welcomed by Katarína, a woman with a smile warming like a fire. Sk: Ukázala mu dedinu, kde každá chatrč mala svoj príbeh. En: She showed him the village, where each hut had its own story. Sk: Katarína mu povedala – "Pripravujeme sa na festival polárnych svetiel. Pomôžeš nám?" En: Katarína said to him, “We’re preparing for the festival of the northern lights. Will you help us?” Sk: Viktor súhlasil bez váhania. En: Viktor agreed without hesitation. Sk: Rozhodol sa naučiť niekoľko základných fráz v sámskom jazyku. En: He decided to learn a few basic phrases in the Sámi language. Sk: "Buorre beaivi" – dobrý deň, "giitu" – ďakujem. En: “Buorre beaivi” – good day, “giitu” – thank you. Sk: Tieto slová mu otvorili nové dvere k miestnym ľuďom. En: These words opened new doors for him with the local people. Sk: Cítil sa viac vítaný. En: He felt more welcomed. Sk: Počas príprav Viktor spoznal Jakuba. En: During the preparations, Viktor met Jakub. Sk: Jakub bol mladý muž, ktorý mu ukázal miestne remeslá. En: Jakub was a young man who showed him local crafts. Sk: Spolu vyrezávali drevené sochy, zdobili tradičné stany a stavali ohniská pre večerný program. En: Together, they carved wooden sculptures, decorated traditional tents, and built fireplaces for the evening program. Sk: Viktor bol očarený ich jednoduchou, ale zručnou prácou. En: Viktor was enchanted by their simple yet skillful work. Sk: Jedného večera, keď sa severná obloha rozsvietila žiarou polárnych svetiel, Katarína a Jakub Viktora pozvali na súkromnú slávnosť. En: One evening, when the northern sky lit up with the glow of the aurora borealis, Katarína and Jakub invited Viktor to a private celebration. Sk: Sedeli v kruhu okolo ohňa. En: They sat in a circle around the fire. Sk: Starší členovia komunity začali rozprávať príbehy, staré príbehy prenášané z generácie na generáciu.
