En: The summer sun gently shone on the ancient stone walls. Sk: Okolo hradu sa rozprestierala zelená krajina. En: Around the castle spread the green countryside. Sk: V diaľke sa vinuli úzke cesty, ktoré privádzali návštevníkov na toto historické miesto. En: In the distance wound narrow roads that brought visitors to this historical place. Sk: Lenka bola nadšená. En: Lenka was excited. Sk: Predstavovala si, ako sa ponorí do stále živých prameňov rodinnej histórie. En: She imagined diving into the ever-living springs of family history. Sk: Marek, jej brat, však len s ťažkosťami hľadal zmysel celého stretnutia. En: Marek, her brother, however, was struggling to find meaning in the whole gathering. Sk: Pre neho bol hrad len ďalšou prekážkou v jeho pracovnom harmonograme. En: For him, the castle was just another obstacle in his work schedule. Sk: Vždy sa sústredil na svoju kariéru a veľa času rodine nevenoval. En: He always focused on his career and didn't spend much time with the family. Sk: Ich babka, Zuzana, už čakala na nádvorí hradu.

Sk: "Mali by sme aspoň zbežne prejsť celý hrad. En: "We should at least briefly go through the entire castle. Sk: Možno zistíme niečo nové o našich predkoch. En: Maybe we'll discover something new about our ancestors." Sk: "Marek váhal, ale napokon súhlasil. En: Marek hesitated but eventually agreed. Sk: Prechádzali kamennými chodbami, okolo starodávnych obrazov a rozbitých vitrín. En: They walked through the stone corridors, past ancient paintings and broken showcases. Sk: Potom však, ako kráčali po schodoch do jedného z veží, niečo v jednom kútiku upútalo ich pozornosť. En: Then, as they walked the stairs into one of the towers, something in a corner caught their attention. Sk: "Pozri! En: "Look!" Sk: " vykríkla Lenka a ukázala na starú truhlicu. En: Lenka exclaimed and pointed to an old chest. Sk: Bola zahalená prachom a pavučinami. En: It was covered in dust and cobwebs. Sk: Otvorili ju a zistili, že obsahuje staré listy a fotografie. En: They opened it and found it contained old letters and photographs. Sk: Bolo tam aj strieborné pero s vyrytým menom ich prapradedka. En: There was also a silver pen engraved with the name of their great-great-grandfather. Sk: Marek, pôvodne skeptický, bol fascinovaný. En: Marek, initially skeptical, was fascinated.
