Once upon a time there was a house in the middle of a small town, and there lived people who love animals. In almost every flat they had a pet, which they took care of with love. 

Bol raz jeden dom uprostred malého mestečka a žili v ňom ľudia, ktorí milujú zvieratá. Takmer v každom byte mali domáceho miláčika, o ktorého sa s láskou starali. 

When their owners went to work at the morning, the animals met in PETS garden.  There they spent time while their owners were at work.

They talked about how their owners take care of them and at the same time they played with a nice pink ball.

Keď ich majitelia ráno odišli do práce, zvieratá sa stretli v záhrade PETS. Tam trávili čas, kým boli ich majitelia v práci. Rozprávali sa, ako sa o nich ich majitelia starajú a zároveň sa hrali s peknou ružovou loptičkou.

After work, everyone went to the PETS garden for their pets. When Murko´s little girl appeared in the door, Murko was so pleased that he forgot about the pink ball. The little girl took Murko in her arms and pet his soft fur. Murko spun gratefully and closed his eyes. The other animals were happy that their owners would come in a moment.

Po práci sa každý vybral za svojimi miláčikmi do záhrady PETS. Keď sa vo dverách objavilo Murkovo dievčatko, Murko sa tak potešil, že zabudol na ružovú loptičku. Dievčatko vzalo Murka do náručia a pohladilo ho po hebkej srsti. Murko sa vďačne otočil a zavrel oči. Ostatné zvieratká sa tešili, že o chvíľu prídu aj ich majitelia.

Murko was already lying in his cozy den when he thought of the ball. ,,What now? It is already dark outside!” He got scared but he got immediately calm again. ,,Oh well, let’s sleep on it. The ball won’t run away from the garden.” He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Murko už ležel spokojeně doma ve svém pelíšku, když si na balónek vzpomněl.

„Co teď? Venku už je tma!“ Lekl se, ale hned se zase uklidnil. „No nevadí, ráno moudřejší večera. Balónek ze zahrady nikam neuteče.“ Zavřel oči a usnul.

In the morning the next day all pets went to the Pet garden. By the gate Murko was joined by his best friends, dogs Nuf and Fanny. ,,Good morning, Murko.” They greeted him jollily. “What are we going to play today? Hide and seek or will we throw a ball?” Nuf was impatiently asking. ,,I would rather throw a ball.” Said Fanny and she started nervously jumping on the spot. ,,Oh yes! Let’s go for the ball and let’s begin!” All agreed and entered the garden.

Další den ráno se mazlíčci opět vydali na Mazlíčkovskou zahradu. K Murkovi se hned u branky připojili jeho nejlepší kamarádi, pejsci Nuf a Fanny. „Dobré ráno, Murko.“ Pozdravili ho vesele. „Tak na co si dneska budeme hrát? Na schovávanou nebo si budeme házet s balónkem?“ Ptal se nedočkavě Nuf. „Já bych si radši házela s balónkem.“ Řekla Fanny a začala nedočkavě poskakovat na místě. „Tak jo! Jdeme pro něj a začneme.“ Souhlasili ostatní a vešli do zahrady.

,,Where is the ball? Do you see it anywhere? Murko was confusingly looking around and together with his friends he started searching the area. After a long and unsuccessful search they again met up in the middle of the garden. ,,But it was here just yesterday. What are we going to do?” They almost cried. Especially Murko felt terrible. ,,If only I didn’t forget the ball yesterday.” He sighed out and wiped off a tear. The dogs sat next to him and tried to soothe him.

„Kde je balónek? Vidíte ho někde?“ Rozhlížel se zmateně Murko a spolu s kamarády prohledávali okolí. Po dlouhém a neúspěšném hledání se znovu sešli uprostřed zahrady. „Vždyť tady ještě včera byl. Co budeme dělat?“ Bylo jim do pláče. Hlavně Murko se cítil hrozně. „Kdybych tak včera ten balónek nezapomněl…“ Povzdechl si a utřel si slzičku. Pejsci si sedli vedle něj a snažili se ho utěšit.

,,Don’t be sad!” Suddenly they heard over their heads. All of them looked up to the sky and saw a little bird. It was a parrot Gouda, the most colorful animal in the garden. ,,Are you looking for a pink ball? I will help you! I can see a lot more from the sky than you from the ground.” Gouda gained the speed and started flying over the garden back and forth. He flew through all the corners, bushes and treetops.

„Nebuďte smutní!“ Ozvalo se jim nad hlavami. Všichni zvedli oči k nebi a uviděli ptáčka. Byl to papoušek Gouda, nejbarevnější zvířátko na zahradě. „Hledáte růžový balónek? Pomůžu vám! Z nebe toho vidím mnohem víc než vy.“ Gouda nabral rychlost a začal létat po zahradě sem a tam. Proletěl všechny kouty, křoví a koruny stromů.

,,There is something!” He screamed and flew towards a big oak. The pets followed him very fast. There was a piece of paper on the tree trunk. Murko climbed up for it and put it down. ,,What is it?” His curious friends were looking over his shoulder. 

,,A map!”

„Támhle něco je!“ Zavolal a rozletěl se k obrovskému dubu. Mazlíčci ho rychle následovali. Na kmeni stromu byl připevněný kousek papíru. Murko pro něj vyšplhal a sundal ho dolů.

„Co je to?“ Nakukovali mu zvědaví kamarádi přes rameno.

„Mapa!“

"What is this?" Murko asked. Gauda, who lived near the Pirate years ago, answered - it is a map․ Here it is indicated where the ball is kept ․ It is interesting to know who made this map, who kept our pink ball?

Vick

Pink ball

Murko

"Do you remember," said Fanny, "when we were playing, Vick the rabbit approached us and he wanted to play with us ․ We did not allow him ․ Definitely he kept the ball and left us this map ․
