En: At the edge of the village, under the summer sun in field conditions, stood a makeshift hospital tent. Cs: Vzduch byl teplý a těžký, voněl čerstvě posekanou trávou a živými květinami. En: The air was warm and heavy, smelling of freshly cut grass and living flowers. Cs: Jirka, oddaný a pečlivý zdravotník, se pohyboval mezi lůžky se skloněnou hlavou. En: Jirka, a dedicated and meticulous medic, moved among the beds with his head bowed. Cs: Jeho pozornost směřovala ke každému pacientovi, ale v hlavě měl jasno – něco bylo špatně. En: His attention was directed at each patient, but he had a clear idea in his mind—something was wrong. Cs: V posledních dnech se objevilo mnoho případů neznámé nemoci. En: In recent days, many cases of an unknown illness had emerged. Cs: Jirku trápilo, že jeho obavy z možného rozšíření nemoci nebrali vážně. En: Jirka was troubled that his concerns about the possible spread of the disease were not taken seriously. Cs: Kdykoliv se pokusil oslovit hlavního doktora, byl smeten stranou.

En: Everyone was too busy to listen to a young medic with a penetrating look and many questions. Cs: Mezi pacienty ležel i Marek, bývalý učitel dějepisu. En: Among the patients lay Marek, a former history teacher. Cs: Byl známý svým klidem a láskou k historii.
