Story Transcript:

Et: Kalev istus oma sõprade Leelo ja Maarja kõrval keskajateemalises restoranis.
En: Kalev sat with his friends Leelo and Maarja beside him in a medieval-themed restaurant.

Et: Oli talvine tormine öö, ja uusaastaöö.
En: It was a stormy winter night and New Year's Eve.

Et: Toas oli soe ja valgus mängis kaminas.
En: Inside, it was warm, and light danced in the fireplace.

Et: Jõulupära oli rõõmuga õhus, sest igal pool olid pidustused.
En: The spirit of Christmas was joyfully in the air, as there were festivities all around.

Et: Restorani keskosas toimus turniir.
En: A tournament was taking place in the center of the restaurant.

Et: Rüütlid võitlesid naeruväärsetes võitlustes, ja rahvas möirgas.
En: Knights fought in ridiculous battles, and the crowd roared.

Et: Maarja ja Leelo olid vaimustuses.
En: Maarja and Leelo were thrilled.

Et: Nad kutsusid üles oma lemmikrüütlit, samal ajal kui nad haarasid kõvasti oma tankarditest.
En: They cheered for their favorite knight while gripping their tankards tightly.

Et: Kalev istus vaiksemalt, jälgides naljakat kisa.
En: Kalev sat more quietly, observing the amusing commotion.

Et: Ta tahtis vaid kalkunikoiba tellida.
En: He only wanted to order a turkey leg.

Et: Kuid kelnerit ei olnud kuskil näha.
En: But the waiter was nowhere to be seen.

Et: "Miks küll nii vara pidu alustasin," mõtles Kalev väsinult, hetkeks oma mõtteid lesides.
En: "Why did I start the party so early," Kalev thought tiredly, momentarily sinking into his thoughts.

Et: Ta jälgis inimesi, kes hüüdsid ja kiljusid, silmis säärane rõõm, mis tundus talle veidi kummaline.
En: He watched people shouting and screaming, with such joy in their eyes that seemed a bit odd to him.

Et: Kalev tõstis käe, püüdes kelnerile viibata.
En: Kalev raised his hand, trying to wave to the waiter.

Et: Kuid kisa oli nii kõrvulukustav, et keegi ei märganud teda.
En: But the noise was so deafening that no one noticed him.

Et: "Küll on lärmakas," ütles Kalev oma sõpradele, kuigi ta teadis, et nad olid liiga haaratud sellest, mis areenil toimus.
En: "It's so noisy," said Kalev to his friends, even though he knew they were too caught up in what was happening in the arena.

Et: Pärast paari asjatut katset käega viibata, lasi Kalev kergelt pahuralt käe langetada.
En: After a few futile attempts to wave his hand, Kalev let it drop slightly irritated.

Et: Kalev mõtles, mida teha.
En: Kalev pondered what to do.

Et: Kui ta vaikne jääb, ei saa ta iialgi oma kalkunit.
En: If he remained quiet, he would never get his turkey.

Et: Siis tabas teda idee.
En: Then an idea struck him.

Et: Mis siis, kui ta lärmab kaasa?
En: What if he joined in the noise?

Et: Siis võiks kelner talle tähelepanu pöörata.
En: Then maybe the waiter would pay attention to him.

Et: Kalevil oli kerge ebakindlus, kasvõi mõelda, et peaks olema kärarikkam kui kõik teised.
En: Kalev felt a slight hesitation, even thinking that he should be louder than everyone else.

Et: Otsustavalt tõusis Kalev püsti ja hakkas entusiastlikult kaasa elama.
En: Decisively, Kalev stood up and began to cheer enthusiastically.

Et: Ta vilgutas käsi ja andis endast parima, et olla valjem kui rahvas.
En: He waved his arms and did his best to be louder than the crowd.

Et:...
