And they created this eye,\" Majka was the first to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Which is 25 metres deep.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Wow,\" Max\u00edk stepped back from the edge of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"And when they opened it...\" Ka\u0161ko began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Were you here?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"You bet I was here,\" Ka\u0161ko day-dreamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Wow,\" said Majka enviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Everyone was surprised at how clean the water was,\" said Ka\u0161ko, pointing to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"The blue surface,\" said Majka, remembering a poem or a song about the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Like at the sea,\" Max\u00edk closed his eyes for a moment and smelled salt in his nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"And this is what it looks like...\" Ka\u0161ko began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"A train,\" said Max\u00edk in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Eye, not train,\" Ka\u0161ko didn't understand what Max\u00edk was saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Didn't you hear?\" Max\u00edk looked around with Majka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"But a train - that would be great for your friends, right?\" laughed Majka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Sure! And I'll get some builders - ghosts - to build invisible rail here,\" continued Ka\u0161ko jokingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou don't have to,\u201d Max\u00edk said casually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMax\u00edk, I don't know what grade you're in, but even kindergarteners know that trains run on railroad tracks,\u201d Ka\u0161ko continued explaining, looking at Max\u00edk to see if he had a fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd some don't...\u201d Max\u00edk muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI'd like to see a train that doesn't need railroad tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen turn around,\u201d Max\u00edk pointed to the path that leads to the Sea Eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ka\u0161ko turned around - and behind him stood, or rather was leaving, a tourist train like the ones that run in large tourist towns, and now it had appeared at the Sea Eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat's that?\u201d Ka\u0161ko's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the Sea Eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA tourist train,\u201d Majka mumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVeteran Express,\u201d Max\u00edk continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you know what it's called?\u201d Ka\u0161ko's mouth opened so wide that he almost scooped water from the eye of the god Okean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt's written there,\u201d Max\u00edk laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think it's decided,\u201d Majka winked at her friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou bet,\u201d said Ka\u0161ko and continued, \u201cHurry up so we don't miss it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n Max\u00edk and Majka ran towards the Express - a beautiful little tourist train that was just pulling away. Ka\u0161ko took a deep breath and blew, but at the same time he looked into the Sea Eye, where his image appeared. He blew into the water and it splashed like a big wave straight onto the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe man driving the train looked back: \u201dDidn't you see that?\u201c Max\u00edk and Majka shouted, panting heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dNo, I was already leaving,\" said the driver, rubbing his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt looked like the Loch Ness monster and it made that wave,\u201d the children began to make a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou monsters,\u201d laughed the driver, starting the train, \u201cit was definitely a catfish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou think so?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlthough... it would have to be a pretty big catfish to splash that much water...\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d asked Majka, trying to divert attention from Ka\u0161ko's wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere else... to Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo America?!\u201d Max and Ka\u0161ko shouted at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201eTu tak hovor\u00edme Michalovciam \u2013 vy Amerika!\u201c smial sa ujo \u0161of\u00e9r a vl\u00e1\u010dik sa pohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is a wonderful ride,\u201d said Majka, letting her hair down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAwesome,\u201d said Max\u00edk, taking off his cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the way, the driver told them about the Vihorlat Mountains they were passing through, about rare animals and plants, about typical Slovak fish, and about how the original forests had been preserved here, where you can find hoopoes, woodpeckers, and eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou monster!\u201d came a voice from somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExcuse me?\u201d the driver stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMonster!\u201d came the voice again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI'm telling you stories and you're swearing at me? I don't deserve this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSit down, sit down...\u201d continued the unknown voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d the driver almost shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook at the roof,\u201d Ka\u0161ko whispered quickly to Max\u00edk and Majka, who were too surprised to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The man stopped and Max\u00edk quickly looked up at the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat's that?\u201d Max\u00edk didn't understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou're hiding from me...\u201d muttered the driver and looked up at the roof where Max\u00edk was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, my goodness - a bird!\u201d the man finally laughed and stopped shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A large parrot was sitting on the roof - the largest Max\u00edk and Majka had ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou said there were forests and traditional animals and birds here, not forests with parrots,\u201d Max\u00edk and Majka wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis isn't even a primeval-forest parrot,\u201d smiled the driver, slowly taking the parrot in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere is it from?\u201d asked Majka, admiring the parrot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFrom this very farmland,\u201d said the driver, pointing to a place where various sounds were coming from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you keep parrots on farms here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOn this farm in Kloko\u010dina, you can find llamas, donkeys, and ordinary animals - and there's also a bird sanctuary,\u201d explained the driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA bird sanctuary?\u201d Ka\u0161ko, who had never heard of such a thing, opened his eyes and mouth wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA bird sanctuary is a place on a farm where they keep exotic birds, including large macaws. And it looks like one of them has just escaped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The driver placed the parrot on Max\u00edk's hand. At first, he was afraid, but when the parrot started singing, he joined in, and so did Majka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ara Ara Ara<\/p>\n\n\n\n singing Haravara<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ara Ara Ara<\/p>\n\n\n\n let that steam push through<\/p>\n\n\n\n ara ara ara<\/p>\n\n\n\n the cart is coming<\/p>\n\n\n\n ara ara ara<\/p>\n\n\n\n and on it is an old llama<\/p>\n\n\n\n The train started moving and they arrived at a farm where various animals were running around and children were watching how the animals were being cared for. Of course, there were also horses, which were being ridden by both children and adults. In one of the buildings, they heard squawking and immediately grasped that these were their parrot's friends, so they joined in its singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Majka, Max\u00edk, and the parrot entered the bird sanctuary and stood there transfixed. There were really huge and small parrots and other exotic birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt's clear what our guests will be doing on the trip,\u201d Ka\u0161ko said, rubbing his hands together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean singing with the parrots?\u201d Max\u00edk laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA parrot karaoke show!\u201d Ka\u0161ko's eyes lit up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA parrot karaoke show - awesome!\u201d Majka repeated after Ka\u0161ko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe've seen all sorts of things in Kloko\u010dina - we've had concerts and stage play performances, even birthday parties. But parrot karaoke - that's a first,\u201d said a man's voice behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was the caretaker who looked after the birds. He showed them all the birds, Majka and Max\u00edk played with them, and when they wanted to sing again, they heard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet's go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The driver had a cup of coffee to wake himself up from the parrot shock and they continued on their way to Michalovce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKa\u0161ko, are you lost in thought again?\u201d Majka nudged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut why?\u201d Max\u00edk didn't understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ka\u0161ko jumped onto the roof of the whizzing train:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe found a train and an activity plan for your ghost friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, but there might be more of them. What if they don't all fit in this train?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen they'll go by car,\u201d Max\u00edk found a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you know what kind of cars ghosts drive?\u201d Ka\u0161ko flew back to his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe don't know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe ones they drove when they were young,\u201d sighed Ka\u0161ko, remembering his toy car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d Majka didn't understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOld ones,\u201d Max\u00edk explained to his sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe ones that don't drive on the roads anymore,\u201d Ka\u0161ko added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh,\u201d Majka nodded, as if she understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"But there are also old cars that someone takes care of so well that they still run even after a hundred years,\" Ka\u0161ko mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"No way!\" Max\u00edk didn't believe him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"You bet they do!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Vintage cars,\" the driver said after a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Can he hear us?\" Ka\u0161ko asked, startled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Why would he hear us?\" Max\u00edk asked, startled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Because those cars are actually called vintage cars!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"See? There's a vintage car museum. And there's our castle, where the museum is,\" the driver pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"So, he didn't hear us...\" Ka\u0161ko sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"But what did he say?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"You'll find cars there that are over 100 years old. Some are even 150,\" continued the driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Over a hundred years old?!\" shouted Max\u00edk excitedly, followed by Ka\u0161ko:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Could you stop at the museum?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n course<\/p>\n\n\n\n The train stopped in front of the Vintage Car Museum, Majka and Max\u00edk thanked the driver, and Majka gave him her drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"You must really see this!\" Ka\u0161ko shouted, jumping up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Have you been inside?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"I couldn't wait!\" Ka\u0161ko shouted enthusiastically. \"But you really have to see this!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n The children entered the building, where a large hall with beautiful old cars awaited them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"I've only seen cars like these in old movies.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"And I've only seen ones like these in cartoons,\" said Majka, who couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"And our ghost friends drove cars just like these!\" shouted Ka\u0161ko, rushing into an old ambulance that looked like a small bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"I think if I present this year's hiking plan to our ghosts, they'll all be happy,\" said Ka\u0161ko and lay down in a large car that looked like something out of an Italian mafia movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"What now?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Nothing, we'll get on the train and Ka\u0161ko will fly after us tomorrow.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"We probably shouldn't wake him up,\" the children agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Probably not.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n The children left Michalovce by train, and when they got home, they were already planning their next trip - and they didn't have to go to the sea, they were happy about the Sea Eye, Michalovce, and...<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"And and and and!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Haravara is beautiful - and it has got everything!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" V \u010fal\u0161om pr\u00edbehu z krajiny Haravara sa dozviete, \u017ee Ka\u0161ko dostane od duchovnej rady Haravary \u00falohu pripravi\u0165 letn\u00fa turistick\u00fa sez\u00f3nu.
