Jedného slnečného dňa, keď sa nebo nad Bratislavou rozjasnilo v tých najkrajších odtieňoch modrej, Marek sa rozhodol navštíviť Bratislavský hrad.

One sunny day, when the sky above Bratislava brightened in the most beautiful shades of blue, Marek decided to visit Bratislava Castle.

Už dlhšie túžil po tom zachytiť jeho majestátnu krásu na fotografii.

He had longed to capture its majestic beauty in a photograph.

Všade okolo boli turisti aj miestni obyvatelia, ktorí si tak isto užívali pekný deň.

Tourists and locals were everywhere, all enjoying the nice day.

Keď Marek prechádzal okolo hradných múrov, všimol si nádhernú sochu psa.

As Marek walked past the castle walls, he noticed a beautiful statue of a dog.

Teda aspoň si myslel, že je to socha.

Or at least he thought it was a statue.

Skutočne to bol ale veľmi pokojný a nehybný pes, ktorého meno bolo Oliver a patril Jane, ktorá sa o chvíľu mala vrátiť z občerstvenia.

It was actually a very peaceful and motionless dog named Oliver, belonging to Jane, who was about to return from grabbing a snack.

Marek obdivoval "sochu" psa, ktorý mal hladkú srsť a vyzeral tak živo, ako skutočný.

Marek admired the "statue" of the dog, which had smooth fur and looked as lively as a real one.

"Ako dokázali urobiť niečo také realistické?

"How did they manage to make something so realistic?"

" zamyslel sa.

he wondered.

Chcel mať so svojím objavom nezabudnuteľné selfie a tak si sadol vedľa psa a urobil sa na fotku.

He wanted to have an unforgettable selfie with his discovery, so he sat next to the dog and took a photo.

V tom momente sa Oliver pohol.

At that moment, Oliver moved.

Marek takmer spadol zo steny, na ktorej sedel.

Marek almost fell off the wall he was sitting on.

"Ty si živý!

"You're alive!"

" zvolal prekvapene.

he exclaimed in surprise.

Pes ho len pokojne pozeral veľkými, priateľskými očami.

The dog just looked at him calmly with big, friendly eyes.

V tom pribehla Jana a s úsmevom povedala: "Vidím, že sa vám môj Oliver páči.

Just then, Jane ran over and said with a smile, "I can see you like my Oliver.

Obávam sa, že nie je na predaj, ale môžeme si spraviť spoločnú fotku, ak chcete.

I'm afraid he's not for sale, but we can take a photo together if you want."

"Marek sa ospravedlnil a povedal, že ho opravu pomýlil so sochou.

Marek apologized, explaining that he had mistaken him for a statue.

Jana sa len smiala a povedala, že sa to už stalo aj iným ľuďom.

Jane just laughed and said it had happened to other people as well.

Predsa len, Oliver mal dar ostať nápadne nehybný.

After all, Oliver had a knack for remaining remarkably still.

Tak sa Marek, Oliver a Jana spoločne usmievali na kameru a aj keď deň začal trochu zvláštne, skončil veľkou zábavou a novým priateľstvom.

So Marek, Oliver, and Jane smiled together for the camera, and even though the day started a bit oddly, it ended with great fun and a new friendship.

Marek zistil, že niekedy i omyl môže viesť k nádherným okamihom a medzi jeho fotografie sa okrem nádherných záberov Bratislavského hradu zaradila aj jedna veľmi živá "socha".

Marek realized that sometimes a mistake can lead to beautiful moments, and among his photographs, alongside the beautiful shots of Bratislava Castle, there was also a very lively "statue."
