En: Mihkel's heart was pounding with excitement as he approached the bustling market.

Et: Päike lõõmas kuumalt üle iidse Vahemere turuplatsi, kus müügiletid kiikasid lõunamaiseid vürtse ja rõõmsaid keraamikatükke.
En: The sun was blazing hot over the ancient Mediterranean marketplace, where stalls showcased exotic spices and vibrant ceramic pieces.

Et: Kaubitsejate hääled segunesid, igaüks püüdes üle pakkuda teist.

En: Something that would grant him dignity among the seasoned merchants.

Et: Tema pilk peatub Anul ja Kailil, kavalad konkurendid.
En: His gaze stopped on Anu and Kaili, cunning competitors.

Et: Nad olid juba kuulsad oma terava läbirääkimistaktika poolest ja Mihkel teadis, et nad ihkasid sama ihaldusväärset eset.

Et: Mihkel astus edasi, jälgides, kuidas huvi tõusis.
En: Mihkel stepped forward, watching as interest grew.

Et: Anu pakkus suuremeelselt suurel häälel, samal ajal kui Kaili vaikselt oma hinda tõstis.
En: Anu generously offered loudly, while Kaili quietly raised her price.

Et: Mihkel vilksatas naeratada, tundes äratundmisrõõmu.
En: Mihkel flashed a smile, feeling a sense of recognition.

En: Those symbols told a story that others didn't understand.

Et: Ta teadis vana keelt, milles needsamad märgid olid kirjutatud.
En: He knew the old language in which those very symbols were written.

Et: Mihkel hingas sügavalt sisse ja astus ette.
En: Mihkel took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Et: "Kas te teate, mida need sümbolid tähendavad?" ta küsis enesekindlalt.
