Aivars bija liels zivju cienītājs.

Aivars was a great lover of fish.

Šodien viņš devās uz Rīgas Centrāltirgu meklēt skaistāko zivti savam vakariņu galdam.

Today he went to Riga Central Market to look for the most beautiful fish for his dinner table.

Saule mirdzēja caur tirgus halles logiem, cilvēku balsis šņāca, bet Aivara prātā bija vien zivis.

The sun shone through the market hall windows, people's voices buzzed, but Aivars had only fish on his mind.

Kopā ar Aivaru bija arī Daina un Jānis.

Daina and Jānis were with Aivars.

Daina, vienmēr smaidīga, bija augļu un dārzeņu meistare, bet Jānis priecājās par svaigu maizi un cepumiem.

Daina, always smiling, was a master of fruits and vegetables, and Jānis enjoyed fresh bread and cookies.

Tirgus bija vieta, kur katrs varēja atrast kaut ko sev tīkamu.

The market was a place where everyone could find something they liked.

"Es dodos pēc zivīm," paziņoja Aivars un atvadījās arī no saviem draugiem.

"I am going to get some fish," announced Aivars as he bid farewell to his friends.

Viņš bija pārliecināts par savu maršrutu, tomēr ne pārāk labi pārzināja tirgus labirintus.

He was confident about his route, but he didn't know the market's maze too well.

Kad Aivars bija viens, viņš pacilāti soļoja pa tirgus eju.

When Aivars was alone, he confidently walked through the market aisle.

Zivju hallei bija jābūt netālu.

The fish market had to be close by.

Tomēr, Aivars nepamanīja, kā pagriezās nepareizā eja un nonāca starp dārzeņiem.

However, Aivars didn't notice when he turned into the wrong aisle and ended up among the vegetables.

Te viņu sagaidīja milzīgs, apaļš kāposts.

There, a huge, round cabbage awaited him.

Aivars bija tik aizrāvies ar domu par zivīm, ka nepamanīja savu kļūdu.

Aivars was so engrossed in thoughts of fish that he didn't notice his mistake.

"Ak, kāda skaista zivs!" viņš sajūsmā teica, turpinot skatīties uz kāpostu, domādams, ka tā ir zivs.

"Oh, what a beautiful fish!" he exclaimed in delight, continuing to stare at the cabbage, thinking it was a fish.

Tuvumā bija Daina, kura pārdeva tomātus. Viņa dzirdēja Aivara vārdus un brīnījās.

Daina, who was selling tomatoes nearby, heard Aivars' words and was amazed.

"Aivars, bet tas ir kāposts, nevis zivs!" viņa nosmēja, piegājot tuvāk draugam.

"Aivars, that's a cabbage, not a fish!" she laughed, approaching her friend.

"Ai, tiešām!" Aivars apjuka, sapratdams savu neuzmanību.

"Oh, really!" Aivars exclaimed, realizing his carelessness.

Taču visi trīs draugi izjautrībājās par šo kāpostu maldināšanu.

However, all three friends laughed at this mistaken identity of the cabbage.

Tad Daina piedāvāja Aivaram savu palīdzību: "Es pavados tevi līdz zivju hallei."

Then Daina offered to help Aivars: "I will accompany you to the fish market."

Jānis arī pievienojās, un visi kopā devās uz zivju pusi.

Jānis also joined, and they all went to the fish section together.

Ceļā viņi apsprieda dažādas receptes un dalījās pieredzē par labākajiem gadatirgiem.

On the way, they discussed various recipes and shared their experiences of the best markets.

Aivars beidzot atrada savu perfekto zivti, draugi pieredzēja neparastu piedzīvojumu, un dienas beigās visi kopā izbaudīja lieliskas vakariņas ar Aivara izvēlēto zivju, Dainas svaigiem dārzeņiem un Jāņa maizi.

Aivars finally found his perfect fish, the friends had an unusual adventure, and at the end of the day, they all enjoyed a great dinner with Aivars' chosen fish, Daina's fresh vegetables, and Jānis' bread.

Aivars vairs nekad nesajaucās tirgū un vienmēr jokoja par to reizi, kad mistika kāpostu ar lielu zivi.

Aivars never confused the market again and always joked about the time he mistook a cabbage for a big fish.

Taču viņš arī vienmēr atcerējās, ka draugu palīdzība un labs humorš var pārvērst jebkuru maldinājumu par smaidu raisošu stāstu.

However, he also always remembered that the help of friends and good humor can turn any mistake into a smile-inducing story.
