Story Transcript:
Et: Jõuluturu platsil valitses sumisev melu.
En: On the jõuluturg square, a buzzing hustle and bustle prevailed.
Et: Värvilised tulukesed vilkusid igalt poolt ja õhk oli täis piparkookide ja glögilõhna.
En: Colorful lights flickered from all directions, and the air was filled with the scent of gingerbread and mulled wine.
Et: Maarika seisis keset turuplatsi, hoolikalt oma märkmikku vaadates.
En: Maarika stood in the middle of the market square, carefully looking at her notebook.
Et: Kõik pidi olema täiuslik – iga detail.
En: Everything had to be perfect—every detail.
Et: Tema ülesanne oli korraldada iga-aastane jõulupidustuste ühispidu.
En: Her task was to organize the annual Christmas celebration's joint party.
Et: Janno, kes valmistas käsitöölelusid oma tillukeses letis, oli oma maailmas.
En: Janno, who was crafting handmade toys at his tiny stall, was in his own world.
Et: Ta polnud kunagi eriti hoolinud täpsetest ajakavadest ega planeerimisest.
En: He had never really cared much for precise schedules or planning.
Et: Maarika lootis, et ta kannab oma osa vastutusest, kuid nägi nüüd, et mees oli isegi rohkem keskendunud mänguasjade parandamisele kui varem.
En: Maarika hoped that he would take on his share of the responsibility, but now she saw that he was even more focused on repairing toys than before.
Et: "Aga ta võiks need mänguasjad näituseks siia tuua," mõtiskles Maarika.
En: "But he could bring those toys here for the exhibition," Maarika mused.
Et: "See tooks rohkem inimesi ja siduks teda meie üritusega."
En: "It would bring more people and connect him to our event."
Et: Ta astus Janno juurde, et oma ideed jagada.
En: She walked over to Janno to share her idea.
Et: "Mänguasjade parandamine kui osa näitusest?
En: "Repairing toys as part of an exhibition?
Et: See on hea mõte," nõustus Janno rõõmsalt.
En: That's a good idea," Janno agreed cheerfully.
Et: Tema loomevaim sai uut hoogu.
En: His creative spirit gained new momentum.
Et: Kersti, uus ja innukas, askeldas Maarika kõrval.
En: Kersti, new and eager, bustled around next to Maarika.
Et: Tema püüe aidata oli kadestusväärne, kuid ta oli ilmselgelt närvis ja tajus kõike esmakordselt.
En: Her attempt to help was admirable, but she was clearly nervous and experiencing everything for the first time.
Et: Maarika naeratas talle julgustavalt.
En: Maarika smiled at her encouragingly.
Et: "Sa saad hakkama," kinnitas Maarika.
En: "You can do it," Maarika assured.
Et: "Ma usaldan, et sa saad kaunistused paika."
En: "I trust that you can get the decorations in place."
Et: Päev edenes ning Maarika, kuigi veidi murelik, õppis usaldama oma abistajaid.
En: The day progressed, and Maarika, although slightly worried, learned to trust her assistants.
Et: Janno ja Kersti toimetasid agaralt, samal ajal kui talveõhk hakkas oma külma muinasjuttu nende ümber kuduma.
En: Janno and Kersti worked diligently, as the winter air began to weave its cold fairy tale around them.
Et: Nii see oligi, kui ootamatult hakkas lund sadama.
En: So it was when, unexpectedly, it began to snow.
Et: Paks lumekiht kattis kiiresti platsi ning Maarika süda jättis löögi vahele.
En: A thick layer of snow quickly covered the square, and Maarika's heart skipped a beat.
Et: Kuid...
