Na okraji Bratislavy, kde kopce jemne obkresľuje inovať, leží farma Jozefa.

On the outskirts of Bratislava, where the hills are gently outlined by frost, lies Jozef's farm.

Jeho srdce bije pre zem, pre zeleninu, ktorú tu pestuje.

His heart beats for the land, for the vegetables he grows there.

Mierna zima prikryla pole tenkou vrstvou mrazu.

The mild winter covered the field with a thin layer of frost.

Marek a Katarína už cestou na trh cítili teplo svojich šálov a rukavíc.

Marek and Katarína already felt the warmth of their scarves and gloves on their way to the market.

Obloha bola jasná, ale studená.

The sky was clear but cold.

Trh bol útulný, stojany stáli blízko seba, ako by chceli chrániť ľudí pred vetrom.

The market was cozy, the stalls stood close together as if wanting to protect people from the wind.

Ľudia sa túlili v teplých kabátoch, dýchali paru do studeného vzduchu.

People huddled in warm coats, breathing steam into the cold air.

Jozefov stánok bol jednoduchý, ale jeho vášeň žiarila aj tak.

Jozef's stall was simple, but his passion shone through nonetheless.

"Musím vymyslieť niečo výnimočné," premýšľal Jozef.

"I need to come up with something special," Jozef thought.

Bolo len pár dní do Valentína.

There were only a few days until Valentine's Day.

Rozhodol sa skombinovať zimnú zeleninu s malými kvetmi.

He decided to combine winter vegetables with small flowers.

"Možno sa niekto zastaví, keď uvidí niečo nové," uvažoval.

"Maybe someone will stop when they see something new," he pondered.

Keď prišla sobota trhového dňa, priestor zíval prázdnotou viac než obvykle.

When Saturday market day arrived, the space yawned emptier than usual.

Počasie ľudí odrádzalo.

The weather discouraged people.

Jozef začal pochybovať.

Jozef began to doubt.

Potom sa objavili Marek a Katarína.

Then Marek and Katarína appeared.

Ich zvonivý smiech a odhodlanie rýchlo rozohnali jeho pochmúrnu náladu.

Their ringing laughter and determination quickly dispelled his gloomy mood.

"Jozef, to je skvelý nápad!

"Jozef, this is a great idea!"

" zvolala Katarína, keď videla kombináciu zeleniny a kvetov.

exclaimed Katarína, when she saw the combination of vegetables and flowers.

"Podeľme sa o to s ostatnými!

"Let's share it with others!"

" dodal Marek.

added Marek.

Začali rozprávať ostatným o krásnych darčekových balíčkoch, ktoré Jozef pripravil.

They began telling others about the beautiful gift packages that Jozef had prepared.

Týmto síce nenaplnili celý trh, ale pohli ľadom.

Though they didn't fill the entire market, they did break the ice.

Prišli noví ľudia, ktorí chceli vidieť tie originálne narodeninové nápady.

New people came, wanting to see those original birthday ideas.

Jozef sa usmieval.

Jozef smiled.

"Vďaka vám sa mi podarí udržať farmu do jari," povedal vďačne.

"Thanks to you, I will manage to keep the farm running until spring," he said gratefully.

S podporou komunity a chuťou vymýšľať nové veci Jozef pochopil, že aj v zime kvitne jeho budúcnosť.

With the support of the community and a desire to create new things, Jozef understood that even in winter, his future blossomed.

Farma bola v bezpečí a jeho viera v ľudskosť štedrého srdca bola posilnená.

The farm was safe, and his faith in the human kindness of generous hearts was strengthened.

V nedeľu večer sedel pri krbe, dúfajúc v budúcnosť plnú možností, zatiaľ čo vonku sa zima pomaly blížila ku koncu.

On Sunday evening, he sat by the fireplace, hoping for a future full of possibilities, while outside, winter was slowly coming to an end.
