\u201eTo je kr\u00e1sny de\u0148!\u201c vykr\u00edkol Ka\u0161ko, len \u010do dosadol na okno Max\u00edka a Majky, ale ako sa zdalo, Majka a Max\u00edk si to nemysleli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, I\u2019m saying it\u2019s a beautiful day,\u201d Ka\u0161ko repeated, smiling so broadly that the entire Mona Lisa\u2014along with the little ermine from another painting\u2014could have fit into his grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, all right, we heard you,\u201d Max\u00edk answered curtly, fixing his gaze back on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you guys?\u201d Ka\u0161ko muttered, a little annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing,\u201d both friends snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see,\u201d Ka\u0161ko sat down in the armchair, \u201cso this is what human kids look like when nothing\u2019s going on, hmm,\u201d he looked at his friends and waited for an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Majka s Max\u00edkom sa na chv\u00ed\u013eku pozreli na Ka\u0161ka v kresle, ale hne\u010f sa vr\u00e1tili poh\u013eadom k stene a k podlahe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, will someone just tell me what happened?\u201d Ka\u0161ko couldn\u2019t take it anymore and raised his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat happened is that Max\u00edk has a memory like a shapeshifter,\u201d Majka finally began to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike what?\u201d Ka\u0161ko didn\u2019t understand; he\u2019d been around for several centuries, but he didn\u2019t know any kind of \u2018shifter\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike an amoeba,\u201d Majka repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean like that single-celled organism with no memory?\u201d Ka\u0161ko found an \u2018amoeba\u2019 in his memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly that one,\u201d confirmed Max\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, oh, and what did you forget?\u201d Ka\u0161ko understood and settled comfortably into his chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat we\u2019re supposed to have a race this weekend,\u201d Majka added, a little angry and a little sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAle ve\u010f je to cez v\u00edkend, tak sa e\u0161te priprav\u00edte, potr\u00e9nujete, nie?\u201c, nech\u00e1pal Ka\u0161ko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eAle my sme mali preteky vymyslie\u0165!\u201c vyh\u0155klo kone\u010dne nie\u010do aj z Max\u00edka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome up with what?\u201d Ka\u0161ko stopped smiling, sensing a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNo, ka\u017ed\u00fd mesiac si jeden kamo\u0161 v na\u0161ej partii vymysl\u00ed nejak\u00e9 preteky pre v\u0161etk\u00fdch ostatn\u00fdch kamo\u0161ov - v \u010domko\u013evek - napr\u00edklad aj vo v\u00fdrobe mydla alebo v sk\u00e1kan\u00ed cez kalu\u017ee,\u201c za\u010dal vysvet\u013eova\u0165 Max\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we\u2019ll come up with something in a flash,\u201d Ka\u0161ko cheered up when he realised that this was the only thing bothering his friends. He was so happy he nearly hit the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we don\u2019t want to just come up with anything,\u201d said Max\u00edk, rubbing his hands nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause Max\u00edk promised our friends that together\u2014meaning with me too\u2014we\u2019d come up with an awesome race,\u201d Majka raised her voice and gave Max\u00edk a dangerous look, \u201cand he even added that we\u2019d have medals and prizes like no one\u2019s ever had before, that they\u2019d be reaallllllly cool!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, well, that\u2019s a bit of a problem, but we\u2019ll manage,\u201d Ka\u0161ko mused, rubbing his bumped head, which he\u2019d hit on the ceiling. \u201cBecause you probably don\u2019t know this, but ghosts can only fly through walls when they want to, and when they\u2019re really happy or angry, they crash into them just like we do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wonder what we\u2019ll come up with in about two days,\u201d Majka said, getting up and heading off to draw instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMus\u00ed to by\u0165 tu v Ko\u0161iciach?\u201c op\u00fdtal sa Ka\u0161ko a u\u017e mal nie\u010do v hlave, nejak\u00fd pl\u00e1n, to na \u0148om bolo vidie\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has to be in Haravara,\u201d Max\u00edk perked up, because he recognised that look on Ka\u0161ko\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, let\u2019s go,\u201d Ka\u0161ko blurted out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut where?\u201d Majka and Max\u00edk asked at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo Brehov,\u201d Ka\u0161ko announced casually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHa, ha, ha,\u201d Majka sat back down to draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally funny,\u201d Max\u00edk added, staring at the wall again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut it really is such a little village,\u201d Ka\u0161ko said, already waiting by the window for his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t mean that as a joke?\u201d Majka looked up from her drawing, and Ka\u0161ko just shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you weren\u2019t kidding?\u201d Max\u00edk asked for confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBrehov is such a great village you\u2019ll fall over,\u201d Ka\u0161ko smiled, and it was clear they were in for some fun and their friends were saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, what are we waiting for?!\u201d Max\u00edk jumped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m waiting for you!\u201d Ka\u0161ko shouted and quickly flew down. The kids ran down the stairs and rushed to the station, where they boarded a train and then a bus that took them to Kr\u00e1\u013eovsk\u00fd Chlmec. There, they remembered how Max\u00edk had been knighted here, and they drove to Brehov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what is this?\u201d All three stood with their mouths agape in front of something fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, this is it, friends,\u201d Ka\u0161ko boasted, \u201ca willow maze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow,\u201d was all Max\u00edk could manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s awesome,\u201d Majka gushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe could come up with some races here, like, like\u2026 like,\u201d\u2026 Max\u00edk had already started imagining various events in his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll help you,\u201d a voice called out behind Ka\u0161ko, Max\u00edk, and Majka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u0161etci traja sa oto\u010dili a za nimi st\u00e1l tak\u00fd chlap\u00edk \u2013 no keby sme ho mali pomenova\u0165, tak by sa asi volal v\u0155bov\u00fd \u010dlovie\u010dik v hnedom, so strapat\u00fdmi vlasmi. Vyzeral trochu ako vodn\u00edk, ale nie ten zl\u00fd, ale dobr\u00fd vodn\u00edk z rozpr\u00e1vky. A hlavne mal ve\u013emi dobr\u00e9 o\u010di a kto m\u00e1 dobr\u00e9 o\u010di, tak ten m\u00e1 aj dobr\u00e9 srdie\u010dko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m Willko,\u201d he said in a pleasant voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what are you doing here, Willko?\u201d Majka befriended him right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m a guide here,\u201d he pointed to the willow maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s great,\u201d Max\u00edk joined in the fun, \u201cand will you be guiding us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m here for!\u201d said Willko with his beautiful smile, and off they went to the maze. Willko pointed everything out to them, explained how the willows grow and how not to get lost, and many other things. Meanwhile, Ka\u0161ko flitted around them and sometimes even teased Willko a little by blowing on his hair, making it stand on end and fall flat like spaghetti in a good Haravarian restaurant. At the end, he took them to a spot near the maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what\u2019s that?\u201d Majka asked, looking at the other willow twigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose are, if you please, animal sculptures made of twigs,\u201d Willko pointed at them and was already running over, with Max\u00edk and Majka following close behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose are aaaawesome,\u201d Max\u00edk gushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAren\u2019t they?\u201d Willko praised himself, and Ka\u0161ko gave them an appreciative look as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willko looked toward the maze and saw more children there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry, guys, but there are other kids waiting for me who want to go into the maze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The friends shook hands and agreed that they would definitely come back here for a longer visit with their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou should start your race here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko whispered in Max\u00edk\u2019s ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t get why we should start our races here?\u201d Max\u00edk asked Ka\u0161ko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, my dear friend, because every friend would choose here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir own little animal,\u201d Majka interrupted Ka\u0161ko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d Ka\u0161ko patted her on the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTo je super n\u00e1pad,\u201c potvrdil Max\u00edk, \u201ea potom by sme sa mohli h\u013eada\u0165 alebo nah\u00e1\u0148a\u0165 ,alebo h\u013eada\u0165 sa pod\u013ea zvukov alebo pod\u013ea st\u00f4p.\u201c Max\u00edk chrlil n\u00e1pady a Majka ich len zapisovala, a\u017e ich u\u017e mali asi tak 68.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd maybe we should move to that maze afterward,\u201d Max\u00edk was still looking for something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd in it, everyone would be tasked with finding their own path,\u201d Majka helped him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYessss!\u201d Max\u00edk shouted and went on \u201cand the friends could get a thread like Ariadne had, and if they got lost, they\u2019d have to wind it back, so they wouldn\u2019t get lost\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd maybe they\u2019d find other unknown paths too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to butt in,\u201d Ka\u0161ko chimed in, \u201cbut they could have a piece of paper where they\u2019d mark their escape routes, and that would create a secret map of the maze. The mischief in the maze was a success,\u201d he finished, waiting for a reaction, but there was silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid something happen?\u201d Ka\u0161ko asked, confused, looking to see if the statues had dried up or burned or something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe rewards,\u201d Max\u00edk said dryly, and Majka\u2019s eyes filled with little tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe promised our friends real medals,\u201d Majka sobbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd is that a problem?\u201d Ka\u0161ko asked, a bit stupidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a problem because, as you probably don\u2019t know, medals in our human world are made of gold, silver, and bronze, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, and what if everyone just got a potato medal?\u201d Ka\u0161ko mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNi\u010d in\u00e9 n\u00e1m neost\u00e1va, len vymyslie\u0165 super s\u00fa\u0165a\u017ee a hry,\u201c zavzdychal Max\u00edk \u201ea prizna\u0165, \u017ee ceny a medaily nem\u00e1me.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo way!\u201d Ka\u0161ko exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you mean, no way?\u201d Majka looked at him, a little annoyed, because she thought Ka\u0161ko was going to suggest potato medals again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s supposed to be gold, then it\u2019ll be gold\u2014we\u2019re off to Ve\u013ek\u00e9 Trakany,\u201d Ka\u0161ko announced calmly, as if it were no big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere?!\u201d both siblings cried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo Ve\u013e-k\u00e9 Tra-kany,\u201d Ka\u0161ko repeated slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what on earth is that?\u201d Max\u00edk asked, confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s probably a place where you can only go in suspenders,\u201d Majka laughed for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOr when they hang you by your suspenders, and if you hang there for three days, they\u2019ll give you a little silver, and if five days, then a little gold too,\u201d Max\u00edk continued to fantasise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVe\u013ek\u00e9 Trakany is a place full of gold, where there\u2019s a little gold even now, where there are maps showing where the gold was, and of course\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd of course we\u2019re going there right away,\u201d Majka decided for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut there\u2019s fairy-tale gold there,\u201d Ka\u0161ko clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, that\u2019s great that there\u2019s fairy-tale wealth there,\u201d Majka didn\u2019t understand Ka\u0161ko\u2019s remark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI said there\u2019s fairy-tale gold there, but you\u2019ll see for yourselves when we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ka\u0161ko pulled a small bag containing an invisibility-inducing flying herb from his cloak\u2014it\u2019s a plant that makes you fly and also renders you invisible. As soon as they took it, all three of them were already floating and flying for just a short while, because Ve\u013ek\u00e9 Trakany is only about 40 kilometres from Brehov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd here we are,\u201d Ka\u0161ko announced triumphantly after landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Majka and Max\u00edk were sitting on the ground, because that\u2019s how they landed after the flight, and they didn\u2019t even want to get up when they saw what they saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCool, huh?\u201d Ka\u0161ko asked his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMhm, ako\u017ee dom je to pekn\u00fd,\u201c za\u010dal Max\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut are you really trying to tell us,\u201d Majka continued, \u201cthat the house is full of gold?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I didn\u2019t say there\u2019d be a house full of gold here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko defended himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell,\u201d Max\u00edk stood up and looked around at the truly beautiful house, which had surely stood there for about 300 years. \u201cIs there at least a nugget of gold or silver, or bronze for our medals, in this house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou could find a few nuggets here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko smiled under his mustache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean lumps of cheese?\u201d Majka had also gotten up from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGold,\u201d Ka\u0161ko nodded toward the children, motioning for them to head toward the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what kind of building is that?\u201d Max\u00edk finally asked as they approached it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, this river here is the Tisa,\u201d Ka\u0161ko began his story at length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eJasn\u00e9,\u201c povedala Majka a obzerala si stavbu, ktor\u00e1 bola naozaj majest\u00e1tna a predstavovala si, v ktorom okne je asi to zlato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eTam, na druhej strane rieky, je u\u017e Ma\u010farsko,\u201c uk\u00e1zal d\u00fa\u0161im prstom Ka\u0161ko \u201ea tam za kopcami alebo sk\u00f4r kop\u010dekmi, je Ukrajina.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOooooo, so there are actually three borders close by here,\u201d Max\u00edk began looking around enthusiastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust like in Kr\u00e1\u013eovsk\u00fd Chlmec,\u201d Ka\u0161ko confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd where\u2019s the gold?\u201d Majka couldn\u2019t hold back any longer. \u201cIn which window?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver there by the Tisa,\u201d Ka\u0161ko continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDown that river,\u201d added Max\u00edk, who was also searching with his eyes for the promised gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShips used to sail here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko closed his eyes and imagined something, \u201cand those ships stopped here, and they started unloading and loading\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGold!\u201d Max\u00edk woke him from his daydream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d confirmed Ka\u0161ko, and they were already standing in front of a magnificent gate. They went inside and found a sort of museum full of maps, magnificent instruments, and all sorts of things\u2014everything but gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKa\u0161ko?!\u201d Max\u00edk began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Max\u00edk?\u201d Ka\u0161ko replied, flitting among the old maps, historical instruments, chairs, and tables\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eNa ktorej z t\u00fdchto kr\u00e1snych m\u00e1p, ktor\u00e9 tu visia, je na\u0161e zlato?\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProbably on every one,\u201d Ka\u0161ko replied calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you mean, on every single one?\u201d Majka pulled out a magnifying glass and started searching for gold on the maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, because these are maps of places where gold was mined,\u201d Ka\u0161ko explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally?\u201d the friends asked again, and now both were examining the maps like scientists at the Academy of Sciences or some research institute, or a chemistry lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut white,\u201d Ka\u0161ko finally added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat kind of white?\u201d Majka perked up and stopped searching for gold on the map with her magnifying glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhite gold from a fairy tale,\u201d Ka\u0161ko winked at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m trying to remember a fairy tale about white gold,\u201d Max\u00edk mused, \u201cbut I can\u2019t find one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can,\u201d Majka smiled at Ka\u0161ko. \u201cYou\u2019ve got us, but it\u2019s a great idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks,\u201d Ka\u0161ko sighed with relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWill someone explain this to me?\u201d Max\u00edk still didn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eToto tu, bra\u010dek,\u201c uk\u00e1zala na mapy Majka, s\u00fa mapy miest, kde sa \u0165a\u017eilo rozpr\u00e1vkov\u00e9 zlato\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDiamonds?\u201d Max\u00edk wondered. \u201cBut we can\u2019t give our friends a diamond medal, can we?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s more valuable than gold in fairy tales?\u201d Majka helped her brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSalt?\u201d Max\u00edk whispered quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d Ka\u0161ko laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, this is\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is an old salt warehouse. Salt was stored here; ships came here to pick it up, and it was shipped from here all over historic Hungary\u2014and beyond,\u201d Ka\u0161ko pointed to the magnificent model of the old salt warehouse in front of them. It was a model of that magnificent building they were now standing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019re going to make medals out of salt?\u201d Max\u00edk confirmed his expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly, and it\u2019ll be great because we\u2019ll actually be giving them a medal that\u2019s worth more than gold, and we\u2019ll have fun doing it too,\u201d Majka said excitedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019ve got it all figured out?\u201d Max\u00edk paused for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems so,\u201d Majka said, glancing at all her notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eA kde je Ka\u0161ko?\u201c op\u00fdtala sa Majka Max\u00edka a naozaj, pozreli sa okolo seba a Ka\u0161ko nikde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKa\u0161koooo!!\u201d they both shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko, almost out of breath, was wheezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere were you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was looking for my cousin Persifal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNice name,\u201d Majka acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, Persifal has lived here for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd he knows how to get to the gold\u2014I mean, the salt,\u201d Max\u00edk corrected himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe does, but he\u2019s not here,\u201d Ka\u0161ko mused. \u201cI have to call him!\u201d and off he went to call in that familiar ghostly way. Then he breathed on a beautiful glass pane in the exhibition of pastoral art, which is also in this salt house, and on the pane, he found a message just as they used to leave them when they were still just little ghosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m at the Golden Sands,\u201d it read on the small pane of glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat, let\u2019s go find him,\u201d Ka\u0161ko left flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut Ka\u0161ko, we can\u2019t go all the way to the land of Helter-Skelter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut why would we go there?\u201d Ka\u0161ko didn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, because that\u2019s where the Golden Sands are,\u201d Majka explained to the little soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut they\u2019re here in Mal\u00e9 Trakany - Little Trakany - too,\u201d Ka\u0161ko smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally?!\u201d Majka couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on, it\u2019s not far,\u201d Ka\u0161ko urged his friends toward another adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A naozaj, za mal\u00fa chv\u00ed\u013eku sa dostali k rieke Tise a k pl\u00e1\u017eam z piesku s n\u00e1dhernou pr\u00edrodou. Ka\u0161ko sa zrazu rozletel smerom k le\u017eiacemu, oddychuj\u00facemu chalanovi, t\u013eapol ho po pleci a ten skoro dostal infarkt, ale nemohol ho dosta\u0165, lebo to bol duch Persifal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is my cousin Persifal,\u201d Ka\u0161ko introduced his cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you\u2019re the kids who can see ghosts and even play with them?\u201d Persifal looked at Majka and Max\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s us. I\u2019m Max\u00edk and this is my sister Majka,\u201d Max\u00edk began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd would you like a lump of salt?\u201d Persi smiled mischievously at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, maybe three,\u201d Majka whispered timidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo that we can have more medals for our friends,\u201d Max\u00edk added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen just lie down here,\u201d Persifal reassured them with his gaze and voice, \u201cand Ka\u0161ko and I will be back in a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have to go too,\u201d Ka\u0161ko said sadly, because he wanted to play in the sand with his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course you have to. I haven\u2019t seen you in about 150 years, so you\u2019ll tell me what\u2019s new.\u201d And they flew off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The kids first played on the beach, then swam a bit and looked around at the nature, which is absolutely gorgeous here, and on the beach by the Tisa River, they really felt like they were on a beach somewhere by the Baltic Sea. They waved to the children on the other bank, where Hungary is, and when they went to sunbathe, they fell asleep. In the morning, they woke up in their own beds and found twelve lumps of salt and their plan for games in the willow maze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ka\u0161ko vezme Majku a Max\u00edka na dobrodru\u017en\u00fa v\u00fdpravu, po\u010das ktorej objavia v\u0155bov\u00e9 bludisko v Brehove, Dom soli vo Ve\u013ek\u00fdch Trakanoch aj Zlat\u00e9 piesky pri Mal\u00fdch Trakanoch.

Ich dobrodru\u017estvo pokra\u010dovalo a\u017e do Tajby, kde sa stretli s tajomn\u00fdmi tvormi a z\u00edskali k\u013e\u00fa\u010dov\u00e9 inform\u00e1cie o skryt\u00fdch pokladoch.<\/p>\n
Na z\u00e1ver sa vybrali do mo\u010diarov pri Bodrogu, kde museli \u010deli\u0165 nebezpe\u010dn\u00fdm podmienkam, aby z\u00edskali posledn\u00e9 potrebn\u00e9 artefakty na dokon\u010denie svojho poslania.<\/p>\n
Ka\u017ed\u00e9 z miest, ktor\u00e9 nav\u0161t\u00edvili, im poskytlo nov\u00e9 inform\u00e1cie a v\u00fdzvy, ktor\u00e9 ich pos\u00favali bli\u017e\u0161ie k odhaleniu tajomstva, ktor\u00e9 malo zmeni\u0165 ich svet.
\nSpolo\u010dne sa vydaj\u00fa vlakom \u2013 najprv do Spi\u0161sk\u00e9ho hradu, ale tam sa dlho nezdr\u017eia, lebo ich cie\u013e je ne\u010falek\u00fd Dreven\u00edk.

Po n\u00e1dhernom dni sa vydaj\u00fa na \u010fal\u0161ie miesto \u2013 do dedinky Miloj. No e\u0161te predt\u00fdm sa zastavia v \u017dehre, kde ich \u010dak\u00e1 d\u00f4le\u017eit\u00e9 k\u00fazlo.
\nSpolu nav\u0161t\u00edvia Jahodn\u00fa, kde sa nau\u010dia hra\u0165 discgolf, potom sa presun\u00fa na Alpinku \u2013 miesto pln\u00e9 ihr\u00edsk, lanov\u00fdch parkov a z\u00e1bavy. Zvez\u00fa sa parn\u00fdm vl\u00e1\u010dikom Katka, objavia drezinu, vysk\u00fa\u0161aj\u00fa si Tarzaniu aj indi\u00e1nske t\u00edp\u00ed.
