En: On a cold autumn morning, the mountains in the Vysoké Tatry were enveloped in a quiet majesty. Sk: Jozef, skúsený turista a nadšenec legiend, stál pred horskou chatou. En: Jozef, an experienced tourist and enthusiast of legends, stood in front of the mountain cabin. Sk: Vôkol nej sa do farieb jesene ponárali lesy, jednou vetvou sa ich očakávanie zimy už dotýkalo. En: Around it, the forests were immersing themselves in the colors of autumn, with one branch already touching the expectation of winter. Sk: Martina a Zuzana, jeho priatelky, ešte oddychovali vo vnútri pri krbe. En: Martina and Zuzana, his friends, were still resting inside by the fireplace. Sk: Hmla klesala zo skalnatých vrcholov a Jozef premýšľal o legende, ktorú často počúval od starých miestnych: duchovia hôr, ktorí vedia odhaliť tajomstvá pradávnych čias. En: Fog descended from the rocky peaks, and Jozef pondered the legend he often heard from the local elders: spirits of the mountains, who can reveal secrets of ancient times. Sk: Včera, počas summitu milovníkov hôr, našli zvláštny predmet. En: Yesterday, during a summit of mountain lovers, they found a peculiar object. Sk: Bol to starý kameň s neznámymi symbolmi. En: It was an old stone with unknown symbols. Sk: Jozef veril, že je to dôkaz toho, o čom vždy sníval — dôkaz existencie horských duchov. En: Jozef believed it was proof of what he had always dreamed of—evidence of the existence of mountain spirits. Sk: Martina však bola skeptická. En: Martina, however, was skeptical. Sk: "To sú len rozprávky pre turistov," povedala s úsmevom, zatiaľ čo Jozef stále obdivoval kameň. En: "These are just stories for tourists," she said with a smile, while Jozef continued to admire the stone. Sk: Prípravky sa zintenzívnili, pretože počasie sa rýchlo menilo. En: Preparations intensified as the weather was changing rapidly. Sk: Snehová búrka sa blížila. En: A snowstorm was approaching. Sk: Napriek tomu, Jozef bol rozhodnutý. En: Nonetheless, Jozef was determined. Sk: Odhodlanie ho pritiahlo hlbšie do hôr. En: Determination drew him deeper into the mountains. Sk: "Musíme to prezrieť ešte pred zimou," presviedčal ostatných. En: "We have to examine it before winter," he urged the others. Sk: Cesta bola ťažká a vietor zintenzívnil. En: The journey was difficult, and the wind intensified. Sk: Napokon, Jozef objavil skrytú jaskyňu. En: Eventually, Jozef discovered a hidden cave. Sk: Vnútri, na prekvapenie všetkých, našiel starobylé nápisy, rovnaké ako tie na kameni. En: Inside, to everyone's surprise, he found ancient inscriptions, the same as those on the stone. Sk: Bol nadšený. En: He was thrilled. Sk: Duchovia hôr? En: Spirits of the mountains? Sk: Možno áno! En: Maybe so! Sk: Po návrate do chaty so sprievodom vzrušenia a pochybností, Jozef rozprával o svojom objave ostatným. En: Upon returning to the cabin with a mix of excitement and doubt, Jozef shared his discovery with the others. Sk: Niektorí ho podporovali, niektorí nie. En: Some supported him, some did not. Sk: Ale všetci boli fascinovaní. En: But everyone was fascinated. Sk: Jozef našiel nový zmysel života. En: Jozef found a...
