Dva Kila Trpělivosti

V sobotu ráno šla Ana poprvé na trh. Chtěla koupit ovoce a zeleninu na týden. Trh byl plný lidí, hlasů a jasných barev.

On Saturday morning, Ana walked to the market for the first time. She wanted to buy fruit and vegetables for the week. The market was full of people, voices, and bright colors.

Zastavila se u malého stánku s rajčaty. "Kolik stojí, prosím?" zeptala se. Starý muž za stolem se na ni podíval. "Na salát nebo na omáčku?" řekl. Ana nevěděla, co odpovědět.

She stopped at a small stand with tomatoes. "How much, please?" she asked. The old man behind the table looked at her. "For salad or for sauce?" he said. Ana did not know what to answer.

"Na salát," řekla nakonec. Muž zavrtěl hlavou. Ukázal na jednu bednu. "Tato na salát. Pevná. Dobrá barva." Ukázal na druhou bednu. "Tato na omáčku. Měkká, velmi červená, sladká." Usmál se. "Jiné rajče, jiná práce."

"For salad," she said finally. The man shook his head. He pointed at one box. "These for salad. Firm. Good color." He pointed at another box. "These for sauce. Soft, very red, sweet." He smiled. "Different tomato, different work."

Ana koupila kilo z každé bedny. Muž je pečlivě zabalil do papíru. Dal jí malý citron jako dárek. "Na váš salát," řekl.

Ana bought one kilo from each box. The man wrapped them carefully in paper. He gave her a small lemon as a gift. "For your salad," he said.

Když přišla domů, sedla si ke kuchyňskému stolu a podívala se na svou tašku. Měla pocit, že koupila víc než jen rajčata.

When she got home, she sat at the kitchen table and looked at her bag. She felt like she had bought more than tomatoes.
