Šodien es sagatavoju kaut ko īpašu," Māris ar lepnumu atbildēja, pasniedzot tasi.En: "Good morning, Ilze! Today I've prepared something special," Māris replied proudly, handing over the cup.Lv: Kad viņa pacēla krūzi, abrīnojamā siltuma plūsma viļņojās telpā.En: As she lifted the cup, a wondrous wave of warmth flowed through the room.Lv: Māris nervozi vēroja, gaidot tās svētību vai nosodījumu.En: Māris watched nervously, waiting for her blessing or condemnation.Lv: Pirmā malks pagāja lēni, un viņš iekrita panikā – kafijas garša nudien bija dīvaina.En: The first sip was taken slowly, and he went into a panic – the taste of the coffee was indeed strange.Lv: Kārlim acis plati izspiedās, tiklīdz viņš saprata kļūdu.En: Kārlis's eyes widened as soon as he realized the mistake.Lv: Tā bija nepareizā maisā ielieta kafija!En: It was coffee from the wrong bag!Lv: Taču Ilze smaidīja.En: But Ilze smiled.Lv: "Man patīk šis iepriekš nebijis aromāts," viņa nosaka, likdama Mārim un Kārlim palikt ar mutes vaļā.En: "I like this never-before-experienced aroma," she said, leaving Māris and Kārlis with their mouths agape.Lv: Viņa piebilda: "Kas tas ir?"En: She added, "What is it?"Lv: Māris piedzīvoja pārsteiguma vilni un, neizturot spriedzi, teica: "Tie ir... dekoratīvie pupiņi."En: Māris, experiencing a wave of surprise and unable to withstand the tension, said, "They are... decorative beans."Lv: Uz sekundi iestājās klusums, bet tad Ilze smējās no visas sirds.En: For a moment, silence ensued, but then Ilze laughed heartily.Lv: "Ak, Māri, tu esi meistars! Tagad man ir jauna mīļākā frāze – dekoratīvā kafija!"En: "Oh, Māris, you are a master! Now I have a new favorite phrase – decorative coffee!"Lv: Un tā izcēlās joks, kas turpinājās ik rūgtu ziemas dienu.En: And thus arose a joke that continued throughout every bitter winter day.Lv: Māris pieņēma, ka katra diena atnes sev nelielu jautrību, un mācījās divreiz pārbaudīt zaušanas.En: Māris accepted that each day brought its own small joy, and learned to double-check the bags.Lv: Bet pāri visam viņš saprata, ka pat nelielām kļūdām var būt negaidīti jaukas sekas.En: But above all, he realized that even small mistakes can have ...
