- Rīgas Centrāltirgus vienmēr ir pilns ar cilvēkiem. - The Riga Central Market is always bustling with people. 
- Gan pircēji, gan pārdevēji steidzas tur, lai nopirktu svaigas zivis. - Both buyers and sellers hurry there to buy fresh fish. 
- Bet kādu rītu Andrejs pamanīja kaut ko dīvainu. - But one morning, Andrejs noticed something unusual. 
- Viens zivju stends izcēlās - tajā vienmēr bija mazas sarkanas zīmītes. - One fish stall stood out—it always had small red notes. 
- Andrejs katru rītu devās uz tirgu, lai nopirktu zivis savai ģimenei. - Every morning, Andrejs went to the market to buy fish for his family. 
- Viņš bija ieinteresēts. - He was intrigued. 
- Vai šīs zīmītes bija kāda spēle? - Were these notes some kind of game? 
- Vai varbūt slepena ziņa? - Or maybe a secret message? 
- Andrejs nolēma izsekot noslēpumaino personu. - Andrejs decided to track the mysterious person. 
- Viņš ieradās tirgū agri. - He arrived at the market early. 
- Viss bija kluss. - Everything was quiet. 
- Tikai pāris cilvēku pastaigājās pa tirgu. - Only a few people were strolling around the market. 
- Tad Andrejs pamanīja - sarkanā mētelī ietērpts cilvēks lēnām tuvojas zivju stendam. - Then Andrejs noticed - a person dressed in a red coat was slowly approaching the fish stall. 
- Vīrietis vai sieviete - viņš nevarēja redzēt seju. - A man or a woman - he couldn't see the face. 
- Sarkanajos mētelī tā persona pažagarā ievietoja mazītiņu zīmīti un tad ātri aizgāja. - The person in the red coat placed a tiny note in the crevice and then quickly walked away. 
- Andrejs, nevilcinoties, piegāja pie stenda un izņēma zīmīti. - Without hesitating, Andrejs approached the stall and took the note. 
- Tur bija rakstīts: "Nāc uz Veco Rīgas Dzelzceļa staciju pulksten 18:00. - It read: "Come to the Old Riga Railway Station at 6:00 PM." 
- " Visas dienas garumā Andrejs domāja par šo zīmīti. - All day long, Andrejs thought about the note. 
- Viņš zināja, ka šovakar viņš dosies uz Veco staciju. - He knew that tonight he would go to the Old Station. 
- Kad pulkstenis rādīja 18:00, Andrejs stāvēja pie stacijas. - When the clock struck 6:00 PM, Andrejs was standing by the station. 
- Pēkšņi no ēnas iznāca sarkanajā mētelī tērptā figūra. - Suddenly, the figure in the red coat emerged from the shadows. 
- "Paldies, ka atnāci," viņa teica. - "Thank you for coming," she said. 
- Izrādījās, ka persona bija sieviete. - It turned out the person was a woman. 
- Viņas vārds bija Marta. - Her name was Marta. 
- Marta paskaidroja, ka viņa raksta slepenas ziņas savam brālim, kurš strādā zivju stendā. - Marta explained that she writes secret messages to her brother, who works at the fish stall. 
- Viņa nevarēja tieši runāt ar brāli, jo vietējās bandas uzraudzīja viņu sakarus. - She couldn't speak directly to her brother because local gangs were monitoring their communications. 
- Tādēļ viņa izdomāja šo sistēmu ar zīmītēm. - So she came up with this system using notes. 
- Andrejs uzmundrināja Martu, sakot, ka viņš palīdzēs viņiem. - Andrejs reassured Marta, saying he would help them. 
- Viņš pieteicās kļūt par starpnieku. - He volunteered to become the intermediary. 
- Tā viņi trijatā veiksmīgi apmainījās ar ziņām, neuzkrītoši nododot tās zivju stendā. - Thus, the three of them successfully exchanged messages, discreetly passing them at the fish stall. 
- Neviens vairāk neievēroja sarkanas zīmītes. - No one noticed the red notes anymore. 
- Un tirgū viss bija kā ierasts. - And everything in the market was as usual. 
- Bet Andrejs zināja, ka viņš ir darījis labu darbu un palīdzējis draudzīgiem cilvēkiem. - But Andrejs knew he had done a good deed and helped some friendly people. 
- Viņa ikdiena bija mainījusies, un viņš jutās lepns par sevi. - His daily routine had changed, and he felt proud of himself. 
- Rīgas Centrāltirgus turpināja griezties dzīves ritmā, bet Andrejam bija jauni draugi un liels noslēpums, ko glabāt. - The Riga Central Market continued to spin in the rhythm of life, but Andrejs had new friends and a big secret to keep.
