Story Transcript:Sr: Зима је била сурова те године, а централна полицијска станица у Београду пуцала је под теретом гужве.En: The winter was harsh that year, and the central police station in Beograd was bursting under the weight of the crowd.Sr: Ваздух је био сиров и мучан од ваге зимских капута и влажних ципела.En: The air was raw and oppressive from the burden of winter coats and wet shoes.Sr: Главна хала, устаљена и изношена, била је препуна људи који стрпљиво чекају на дрвеним столицама.En: The main hall, settled and worn, was full of people patiently waiting on wooden chairs.Sr: Милан је стајао, леда правог као свећа, због напора да сачува своју унутрашњу стабилност и светску рутину од било каквих узнемирености.En: Milan stood, his back straight as a candle, straining to maintain his inner stability and worldly routine against any disruptions.Sr: Сав труд му је био усмерен на једно: како да најбрже и најбезбедније пријави изгубљени новчаник.En: All his efforts were directed at one thing: how to report a lost wallet as quickly and safely as possible.Sr: Иза пулта, полицајац Вук је покушавао да одржи ред, али гомила папира на његовом столу и прастар систем му нису олакшавали посао.En: Behind the counter, Officer Vuk was trying to maintain order, but the pile of paper on his desk and the outdated system were not making his job easier.Sr: Његова жеља да помогне свакоме ко уђе на врата била је јака, али правила и процедура биле су му стални непријатељи.En: His desire to help everyone who walked through the door was strong, but rules and procedures were his constant foes.Sr: Јелена, млада и одлучна, управо је улазила у станицу.En: Jelena, young and determined, was just entering the station.Sr: Њена поетска правда вукла ју је кроз живот, а недавни животни удар је само учинио да више жели да учини нешто значајно.En: Her poetic sense of justice drove her through life, and a recent life blow only made her more eager to do something meaningful.Sr: Приметила је Милана како нервозно стоји и одмах се решила да му помогне.En: She noticed Milan standing nervously and immediately decided to help him.Sr: "Извините," обратила се љубазно Вуку док се пробијала кроз гомилу.En: "Excuse me," she kindly addressed Vuk as she made her way through the crowd.Sr: "Можете ли мало убрзати процес за овог господина?En: "Can you speed up the process for this gentleman?Sr: Веома је важно.En: It is very important."Sr: "Вук је уздахнуо, погледавши гомилу папира.En: Vuk sighed, glancing at the pile of papers.Sr: "Имамо много пријава данас, али потрудићу се.En: "We have a lot of reports today, but I'll try."Sr: "Јелена се насмешила и пришла Милану.En: Jelena smiled and approached Milan.Sr: "Само мало стрпљења.En: "Just a little patience.Sr: Покушаћемо да вам помогнемо.En: We'll try to help you."Sr: "И Милан, иначе уздржан, осетио је да више не може чекати.En: And Milan, usually reserved, felt he could no longer wait.Sr: "Молим вас," рекао је гласноји него што је намеравао, ударио је својим гласом као бритвом кроз зујање станице.En: "Please," he said louder than he intended, his voice cutting through the station's hum like a razor.Sr: "Морам да пријавим изгубљени новчаник.En: "I need to report a lost wallet."Sr: "У том моменту, Вук је видео Јеленино решено лице и одлучио да учини изузетак.En: At that moment, Vuk saw Jelena's determined face and decided to make an exception.Sr: "Донеси ми твоје податке, господине," рекао је Милану.En: "Bring me your details, sir," he said to Milan.Sr: "Почећемо одмах.En: "We'll start right away."Sr: "Јелена је пригнула главу и са осмехом посматрала како случај добија замах.En: Jelena nodded with a smile, watching as the situation gained momentum.Sr: Њена помоћ била је кључна, и док је Милан са олакшањем одлазио, захваљујући се топлим речима, Вук је себи обећао да ће уложити више напора у побољшање система који је толико љутао и њега и остале.En: Her help was crucial, and as Milan left with relief, thanking them with warm words, Vuk promised himself to put more effort into improving the system that frustrated him and others so much.Sr: Када је снежна мећава прошла, станица је постала прозор у нове могућности.En: When the snowstorm had passed, the station became a window to new opportunities.Sr: Милан је научио вредност храбрости и способности да затражиш оно што ти је потребно.En: Milan learned the value of courage and the ability to ask for what you need.Sr: Јелена је пронашла нови појам како њене акције могу довести до промене.En: Jelena discovered a new understanding of how her actions could lead to change.Sr: Вук је схватио да је љубазност оно што највише мотивише људе, и одлучио се да ту љубазност унесе у сваки корен свог рада.En: Vuk realized that kindness is what motivates people the most, and he decided to incorporate that kindness into every root of his work.Sr: Станица је била станица, али са људима као што су ови, никада није била само зграда.En: The station was a station, but with people like these, it was never just a building.Sr: Била је то жива мрежа наде и промене.En: It was a living network of hope and change.

Transcript:Hu: A Duna parti séta Budapesten ilyenkor, tél közepén, különösen békés volt.En: The walk along the Duna riverside in Budapest at this time, in the middle of winter, was particularly peaceful.Hu: Csodálatos látvány az apró fényekkel teli szezonális piac és a háttérben Buda vára.En: The sight of the seasonal market filled with tiny lights and Buda Castle in the background was wonderful.Hu: A levegő friss és hideg, de a forralt bor aromája és a gesztenye illata megérkezik mindenfelől.En: The air was fresh and cold, but the aroma of mulled wine and the scent of chestnuts wafted in from all around.Hu: A piacon mindenhol emberek nevetnek, zenészek játszanak vidám dallamokat.En: Everywhere in the market, people laughed, musicians played cheerful tunes.Hu: Ebben a lüktető forgatagban sétált Kata, kissé elveszetten, mégis kíváncsian.En: In this vibrant crowd, Kata walked, feeling somewhat lost yet curious.Hu: Eltévedt.En: She was lost.Hu: Kata, a csendes irodalomkedvelő lány, Budapestre érkezett egy kis pihenésre.En: Kata, a quiet literature-loving girl, had come to Budapest for a little rest.Hu: Kereste az útját vissza a szállására, de a zajos piacon teljesen összezavarodott.En: She was trying to find her way back to her accommodation but got completely confused in the noisy market.Hu: Már többször is elindult rossz irányba.En: She had already set off in the wrong direction several times.Hu: Most már tudta, segítségre van szüksége, de idegenekkel való beszélgetéstől tartott egy kicsit.En: Now she knew she needed help, but she was a bit apprehensive about talking to strangers.Hu: Az utóbbi időben megégette magát, és nehezen bízott meg másokban.En: Recently, she had gotten burned, and she found it difficult to trust others.Hu: Ahogy a bódék között bolyongott, egyszer csak egy kedves, mosolygós szemű férfi lépett hozzá.En: As she wandered among the stalls, a kind man with smiling eyes suddenly approached her.Hu: "Szia, látom, tanácstalan vagy.En: "Hi, I see you're looking a bit lost.Hu: Segíthetek?En: Can I help?"Hu: " – szólalt meg András, a barátságos idegenvezető, aki szerette megosztani Budapest meséit a világgal.En: – spoke András, the friendly tour guide who loved sharing the tales of Budapest with the world.Hu: Kata habozott egy pillanatig, de András hangja melegséget és biztonságot sugárzott.En: Kata hesitated for a moment, but the warmth and safety in András' voice were reassuring.Hu: "Köszönöm," kezdte lassan, "eléggé eltévedtem.En: "Thank you," she began slowly, "I'm quite lost.Hu: Nem tudom, merre menjek.En: I don't know which way to go."Hu: "András készségesen ajánlott neki egy rövid túrát.En: András readily offered her a short tour.Hu: "Elvezetlek a helyekre, amiket látni érdemes, és közben visszatalálsz majd.En: "I'll guide you to places worth seeing, and you'll find your way back in the meantime."Hu: " Elsőre Kata vonakodott, de végül beleegyezett.En: At first, Kata was reluctant, but she eventually agreed.Hu: Valami András közvetlenségében és a hideg Duna partján megelevenedő városban feloldotta gátlásait.En: Something about András' openness and the city coming to life on the cold Duna riverside dissolved her inhibitions.Hu: Ahogy sétáltak, András Budapest történeteit mesélte, megidézve régmúlt idők alakjait és eseményeit.En: As they walked, András narrated stories of Budapest, evoking figures and events from times long past.Hu: Kata minden történetet áhítattal hallgatott.En: Kata listened to each story with reverence.Hu: Mikor a Parlament épülete elé értek, András egy kisebb kitérőt tett, hogy megmutassa Katának a legszebb kilátást.En: When they reached the Parliament building, András made a slight detour to show her the most beautiful view.Hu: A Parlament fényárban úszott a Duna tükrében.En: The Parliament was bathed in light reflected in the Duna.Hu: Ez a látvány magával ragadta Katát, aki nem sokszor érzett ekkora csodálatot.En: This sight captivated Kata, who rarely felt such wonder.Hu: A túra végén megálltak egy forralt bort kínáló standnál.En: At the end of the tour, they stopped at a stand offering mulled wine.Hu: "Kóstoljuk meg, mit gondolsz?En: "Shall we try it, what do you think?"Hu: " – kérdezte András mosolyogva.En: asked András with a smile.Hu: Kata, immár sokkal szabadabban, beleegyezett.En: Kata, now feeling much freer, agreed.Hu: Ahogy meleg bort szorongatva beszélgettek, megosztották egymással gondolataikat, életeik apró részleteit.En: As they sipped the warm wine and talked, they shared thoughts and little details of their lives.Hu: Kata érezte, hogy most, itt a Duna partján, valami megváltozott benne.En: Kata felt that here, on the banks of the Duna, something had changed within her.Hu: A jövő tágasnak és várakozással telinek tűnt.En: The future seemed vast and full of anticipation.Hu: Kata és András megegyeztek, hogy találkoznak újra a Valentin-napon.En: Kata and András agreed to meet again on Valentine's Day.Hu: A közös emlékek ígérete és az új, formálódó kapcsolat reménye mindkettejük szívét melegítette.En: The promise of shared memories and the hope of a new, budding relationship warmed both their hearts.Hu: Miközben elbúcsúztak, Kata békességet érzett.En: As they said goodbye, Kata felt at peace.Hu: Elengedte a múltból hozott félelmeket, megnyílt a lehetőségek felé.En: She let go of fears carried from the past, opening herself to possibilities.Hu: Mindez egy varázslatos séta során valósult meg, Budapest pompája alatt, egy váratlan találkozásból szövődött történet részeként.En: All of this happened during a magical walk beneath the splendor of Budapest, as part of a story woven from an unexpected encounter.

Story Transcript:Ca: Escama l'hivern en un matí tranquil al Parc de Collserola, i el bosc és un llenç blanc sota un cel gris.En: Winter scales over a calm morning at the Parc de Collserola, and the forest is a white canvas under a gray sky.Ca: Les passes de Núria, Pau i Laia ressonen suament mentre s'endinsen entre els arbres alts, esquitllant-se sobre la neu fresca.En: The footsteps of Núria, Pau, and Laia softly echo as they delve among the tall trees, skirting over the fresh snow.Ca: Són estudiants de biologia, a la recerca dels elements perfectes per al seu projecte científic.En: They are biology students, in search of the perfect elements for their scientific project.Ca: Núria camina davant, decidida, amb el seu mapa en mà.En: Núria walks ahead, determined, with her map in hand.Ca: És la líder del grup, i desitja més que res que el seu projecte destaqui a la fira de ciència.En: She is the leader of the group, and she wishes more than anything for their project to stand out at the science fair.Ca: Al seu costat, Pau observa el seu voltant, callat però amatent a cada detall.En: Next to her, Pau observes his surroundings, quiet but attentive to every detail.Ca: Darrere d'ells, Laia, amb la cara a sota del gorro de llana, mira amb curiositat el nou entorn.En: Behind them, Laia, her face beneath her wool hat, curiously looks at the new environment.Ca: Tot i el fred, hi ha una mena de pau al seu voltant.En: Despite the cold, there is a certain peace around them.Ca: Els arbres despullats s'alcen com guàrdies silenciosos, mentre les rames resplendeixen amb un fi mantell de gel.En: The bare trees stand like silent guards, while the branches sparkle with a thin veil of ice.Ca: Tot d'una, comença a caure neu més espessa.En: All of a sudden, thicker snow begins to fall.Ca: Les petjades desapareixen ràpidament i el paisatge es converteix en un laberint blanc.En: The footprints quickly disappear, and the landscape becomes a white labyrinth.Ca: Núria s'atura i es gira cap als seus amics.En: Núria stops and turns to her friends.Ca: "Hem de decidir", diu ella amb preocupació.En: "We have to decide," she says with concern.Ca: "Si continuem més enllà, podem trobar mostres increïbles.En: "If we continue further, we might find incredible samples.Ca: Però la nevada pot empitjorar i podríem perdre'ns."En: But the snowfall could worsen, and we could get lost."Ca: Pau mira al voltant, nerviós.En: Pau looks around, nervous.Ca: Sap que el bosc pot ser enganyós.En: He knows the forest can be deceptive.Ca: Però veu la determinació als ulls de Núria.En: But he sees the determination in Núria's eyes.Ca: "Potser podríem tornar una mica", suggereix cautelosament.En: "Maybe we could head back a little," he suggests cautiously.Ca: Però és aleshores quan Laia, que no sol intervenir, aixeca la veu.En: But it's then that Laia, who rarely speaks up, raises her voice.Ca: "Podem fer-ho", diu amb fermesa.En: "We can do it," she says firmly.Ca: "Sé que això és complicat, però si treballem junts, podem trobar una sortida."En: "I know this is complicated, but if we work together, we can find a way out."Ca: Hi ha una confiança tranquil·la en les seves

precaució.En: They agree to move forward, but with more caution.Ca: Les seves botes s'enfonsen profundament a la neu, i el vent fred els glaça les galtes.En: Their boots sink deeply into the snow, and the cold wind freezes their cheeks.Ca: Quan arriben a un clar, són rebuts per un espectacle de bellesa.En: When they reach a clearing, they are greeted by a spectacle of beauty.Ca: Un oceà blanc s'obre sota el cel, ple de possibilitats, però també d'incerteses.En: A white ocean opens under the sky, full of possibilities but also uncertainties.Ca: Durant uns instants, es perden en l'admiració, però el fred els recorda la seva lluita.En: For a few moments, they get lost in admiration, but the cold reminds them of their struggle.Ca: Ara el desafiament és tornar de forma segura.En: Now the challenge is to return safely.Ca: El cel s'encapota més i la neu comença a cobrir massa el camí.En: The sky becomes overcast, and the snow begins to cover the path too much.Ca: És llavors que Pau, amb els seus instints afinats, comença a reconèixer alguns senyals.En: That's when Pau, with his sharpened instincts, begins to recognize some signs.Ca: Petites pistes a la matèria forestal els guien.En: Small hints in the forest matter guide them.Ca: Laia, per la seva part, utilitza el seu sentit de l'orientació i reconeix petites referències que la seva ciutat natal, sempre tan propera al Parc de Collserola, li ha donat.En: Laia, for her part, uses her sense of direction and recognizes small references that her hometown, always so close to the Parc de Collserola, has given her.Ca: Mentre treballen junts, Núria ho veu clar.En: As they work together, Núria sees it clearly.Ca: La força de l'equip està en la combinació de les seves habilitats.En: The strength of the team lies in the combination of their skills.Ca: No es tracta només del lideratge, sinó d'escoltar i aprofitar les contribucions dels altres.En: It's not just about leadership, but about listening and leveraging others' contributions.Ca: Troben el camí de tornada, animats i amb una sensació de triomf.En: They find their way back, encouraged and with a sense of triumph.Ca: Arriben al punt de partida amb les dades que necessiten, i sobre les seves espatlles, el pes del treball ben fet.En: They arrive at the starting point with the data they need, and on their shoulders, the weight of a job well done.Ca: Han après més que biologia; han après a confiar.En: They have learned more than biology; they have learned to trust.Ca: L'hivern de Collserola els ha posat a prova, però ara, saben que junts poden

I et stort familiehus, der peisen kastet et varmt lys over rommet, var Sivert, Inga og Magnus samlet.En: Once upon a winter's day in Norge, with snow covering the landscape like a soft, white blanket, Sivert, Inga, and Magnus were gathered in a large family house where the fireplace cast a warm glow over the room.No: Det var nyttårsdag, og ute raste en voldsom snøstorm, fastlåst familien inne.En: It was New Year's Day, and a fierce snowstorm was raging outside, keeping the family confined indoors.No: Huset var pyntet med glitter og girlander fra nyttårsaften.En: The house was decorated with glitter and garlands from New Year's Eve.No: Lister med nyttårsforsetter hang på kjøleskapet, noen allerede med små kryss ved siden av dem.En: Lists of New Year's resolutions hung on the refrigerator, some already with small check marks next to them.No: Inne i den lune stuen var stemningen spent.En: Inside the cozy living room, the atmosphere was tense.No: En samtale om nyttårsforsetter hadde raskt utviklet seg til noe mer.En: A conversation about New Year's resolutions had quickly developed into something more.No: Magnus, den yngre og mer tilbøyelige til å ta fyr, uttrykte høylytt sin frustrasjon over forventningene familien hadde til ham.En: Magnus, the younger one and more prone to flare-ups, loudly expressed his frustration over the expectations the family had for him.No: "Jeg vil ikke følge den samme veien som alle andre," erklærte han med en hevet stemme.En: "I don't want to follow the same path as everyone else," he declared with a raised voice.No: "Alle disse tradisjonene kveler meg!"En: "All these traditions suffocate me!"No: Inga, alltid den som ønsket å roe gemyttene, prøvde å mekle.En: Inga, always wanting to calm the waters, tried to mediate.No: "Vi kan finne en balanse," sa hun med en mild, men bestemt stemme.En: "We can find a balance," she said in a gentle but firm voice.No: "Vi kan opprettholde tradisjonene vi elsker, men også gi plass til nye drømmer."En: "We can maintain the traditions we love, but also make room for new dreams."No: Sivert, som hadde sittet stille, kjente en uro vokse inni seg.En: Sivert, who had been sitting quietly, felt a restlessness growing inside him.No: Han hadde alltid vært den som unngikk konflikter, men nå, med vinden som ulte utenfor og samtalen som bygget seg opp, forsto han at det var noe han trengte å si.En: He had always been the one to avoid conflicts, but now, with the wind howling outside and the conversation intensifying, he realized there was something he needed to say.No: Ønske om eventyr og frihet hadde lenge gjemt seg i hjertet hans, men han hadde aldri følt det var riktig tidspunkt å dele det.En: The desire for adventure and freedom had long been hidden in his heart, but he had never felt it was the right time to share it.No: Med et dyp pust, reiste han seg.En: With a deep breath, he stood up.No: "Jeg har også noe å si," begynte han, og alle vendte blikket mot ham.En: "I too have something to say," he began, and everyone turned their eyes toward him.No: "Jeg drømmer om noe mer enn det vanlige.En: "I dream of something more than the ordinary.No: Men jeg frykter å miste båndet vårt hvis jeg følger disse drømmene."En: But I fear losing our bond if I pursue these dreams."No: Ordene overrasket de andre, spesielt Magnus, som så på Sivert med en ny forståelse.En: His words surprised the others, especially Magnus, who looked at Sivert with a new understanding.No: Inga, med et melankolsk, men stolt blikk, la hånden på brorens arm.En: Inga, with a melancholic yet proud look, placed her hand on her brother's arm.No: "Vi ønsker at du skal være glad, Sivert.En: "We want you to be happy, Sivert.No: Vi kan støtte hverandres mål," sa hun med ekte kjærlighet i stemmen.En: We can support each other's goals," she said with genuine love in her voice.No: Det var som om noe senket seg i rommet, en lettelse, kanskje, eller en ny respekt blant dem.En: It was as if something settled in the room—a relief, perhaps, or a newfound respect among them.No: Stormen utenfor fortsatte med uforminsket styrke, men inne i huset fant familien en ny ro.En: The storm outside continued with unabated strength, but inside the house, the family found a new calm.No: De snakket videre, lenge etter at ildstedet hadde brent ned til glør, om hvordan de kunne tilpasse seg og samtidig holde sammen.En: They talked further, long after the fireplace had burned down to embers, about how they could adapt while still staying together.No: Sivert kjente at han hadde funnet sin stemme, og med det en ny vei han kunne følge, ikke alene, men med familien ved sin side.En: Sivert felt he had found his voice, and with that a new path he could follow, not alone, but with his family by his side.No: Og slik, mens det nye året virkelig begynte, ble ikke bare stormen utenfor stillere, men også de indre stormene roet seg ned, da familien gikk inn i det kommende året med en fornyet forståelse og styrket tilknytning.En: And so, as the new year truly began, not only did the storm outside grow quieter, but the inner storms also calmed down as the family entered the coming year with a renewed understanding and strengthened bond.

igyekeztek.En: The winter wind swirled coldly through the streets of Budapest as people hurried toward the warm therapeutic pools of the Széchenyi Fürdő.Hu: Odabent, az épület fényesen csillogó falai között, a szokásos nyüzsgés fogadta a vendégeket.En: Inside, amidst the brightly shimmering walls of the building, the usual hustle and bustle greeted the guests.Hu: Ma különösképpen izgalmas nap ígérkezett: Szilveszter közeledtével mindenki a fürdő különleges hangulatában remélte megalapozni az ünnepi jókedvet.En: Today promised to be particularly exciting: with New Year's Eve approaching, everyone hoped to set the tone for the festive spirit in the bath's special atmosphere.Hu: László, az aprólékos könyvelő, fejben számolta az előtte álló órákat.En: László, the meticulous accountant, was mentally counting the hours ahead.Hu: Pontosan délben kellett elhagynia a fürdőt, hogy betartsa részletesen megtervezett napirendjét.En: He had to leave the bath exactly at noon to keep to his thoroughly planned schedule.Hu: Mellette srégen állt Réka, egy bohém művész, akinek színes ruházata messziről kitűnt.En: Beside him stood Réka, a bohemian artist whose colorful attire made her stand out from afar.Hu: Réka gyakran elfeledkezett dolgairól, ami most külön aggodalmat okozott, hiszen kedvenc fürdőköpenyét magával hozta.En: Réka often forgot things, which now caused particular concern, as she had brought her favorite bathrobe.Hu: Zoltán, a leleményes mérnök, a hétköznapok kihívásait maga mögött hagyva az újév közeledtét akarta élvezni, mégis kíváncsian várta, hogyan alakul a nap eseménysora.En: Zoltán, the resourceful engineer, wanted to enjoy the approach of the new year, leaving behind the challenges of everyday life, yet he was curiously anticipating how the day's events would unfold.Hu: Mire mindhárman előkészítették a személyes tárgyaikat, kezdetét vette a zűrzavar.En: Just as all three of them prepared their personal items, chaos erupted.Hu: Valaki összekeverte a szekrénykulcsokat, és hamar kiderült, hogy mindegyikük más valaki holmiját kapta el.En: Someone mixed up the locker keys, and it soon became clear that each of them had taken someone else's belongings.Hu: László máris feszült volt, Réka kétségbeesetten keresgélte köpenyét, míg Zoltán szeme gyorsan pásztázta a körülményeket, logikát keresve a káoszban.En: László was already tense, Réka desperately searched for her robe, while Zoltán's eyes quickly scanned the situation, seeking logic in the chaos.Hu: László úgy döntött, megpróbálja kézbe venni az irányítást, és segített a talált tárgyak osztályozásában.En: László decided to take control and helped in sorting out the found items.Hu: Közben Réka, a művész, színes ruhák és törölközők maradványaiból kis mobilműalkotást kezdett formázni, mosolyt csalva az arra sodródó vendégek arcára.En: Meanwhile, Réka, the artist, began forming a small mobile art piece from remnants of colorful clothes and towels, bringing smiles to the faces of drifting guests.Hu: Zoltán pedig, mint egy igazi nyomozó, minden részletet alaposan átvizsgált.En: Zoltán, like a true detective, thoroughly examined every detail.Hu: Réka egy fürdőnadrág mintája és egy úszósapka színe alapján bukkant rá végül a köpenyére.En: Réka finally found her robe based on the pattern of a swimsuit and the color of a swim cap.Hu: Zoltán azonban valami vibráló nyomozói ösztöntől vezérelve mindent összerakott: az órákon lógó kulcsokat és a vendégeket párosította egymáshoz.En: However, Zoltán, driven by some vibrant detective instinct, pieced everything together: he matched the keys hanging from the clocks to the guests.Hu: Néhány perc alatt sikerült rendet tenni, mintha valami különleges rejtvényt fejtett volna meg.En: Within minutes, he managed to restore order, as if he had solved some special puzzle.Hu: Az idő röpült, és bár László 10 perccel tovább maradt a tervezettnél, Zoltán találékonyságával kárpótolva érezte magát.En: Time flew by, and although László stayed ten minutes longer than planned, he felt compensated by Zoltán's ingenuity.Hu: Réka új ihletet merített a nap káoszából, és az általa készített kis műalkotás örömmel töltötte meg a teret.En: Réka drew new inspiration from the day's chaos, and the small art piece she created filled the space with joy.Hu: Zoltán elégedett mosollyal nézett körül, látva, milyen jól segített a közösségen.En: Zoltán looked around with a satisfied smile, seeing how well he had assisted the community.Hu: Mindhárman valami újat tanultak aznap.En: All three learned something new that day.Hu:
