Story Transcript:

Et: Kadrioru park Tallinnas oli kevadel tõeline unelmate paik.
En: Kadrioru park in Tallinn was a true dreamland in spring.

Et: Roosad kirsipuud õitsesid imekaunilt ja pargi teed olid täis kunstnikke, kes olid tulnud oma töid näitama.
En: The pink cherry trees bloomed beautifully, and the park paths were full of artists who had come to showcase their work.

Et: Õhus oli pidulikkust, sest lähenes kevadine kunstifestival.
En: There was a sense of festivity in the air, as the spring art festival was approaching.

Et: Märtsi külm tuul oli viimaks taandunud, jättes endast maha vaid kerge jaheduse, mis meenutas lõppevat talve.
En: The cold March wind had finally receded, leaving behind just a light chill that reminded of the ending winter.

Et: Maret, noor looduse fotograaf, oli üks neist kunstnikest.
En: Maret, a young nature photographer, was one of those artists.

Et: Tema kirg õitsvate lillede ja ärkava looduse jäädvustamise vastu oli piiritu.
En: Her passion for capturing blooming flowers and awakening nature was boundless.

Et: Kuid ta võitles oma sisemiste kahtlustega.
En: However, she struggled with her internal doubts.

Et: Ta soovis, et tema töö saaks sellel festivalil tähelepanu, mis aitaks tal oma kunstnikukarjääri alustada.
En: She wished for her work to receive attention at the festival, which would help her start her artistic career.

Et: Kalev ja Liisa, Maret'i sõbrad, olid parki tulnud teda toetama.
En: Kalev and Liisa, Maret's friends, had come to the park to support her.

Et: "Sa pead leidma endas kindluse, Maret," ütles Kalev, kui nad koos tema pilte uurisid.
En: "You need to find confidence within yourself, Maret," said Kalev as they examined her pictures together.

Et: "Millist pilti plaanid näidata?"
En: "Which picture do you plan to show?"

Et: "Ma ei tea," vastas Maret vaikselt, vaadates oma lemmikfotot kirsipuuoksast hommikulise kastemärjana.
En: "I don't know," Maret replied quietly, looking at her favorite photograph of a cherry tree branch covered in morning dew.

Et: See foto oli tema südames nii eriline, kuid ta kartis, et see ei kõneta teisi.
En: This photo was so special to her heart, yet she feared it wouldn't resonate with others.

Et: Samas oli tal ka teine kommertslikum pilt, mis oli küll pilkupüüdev, aga mitte nii isiklik.
En: At the same time, she had another, more commercial picture that was eye-catching but not as personal.

Et: Liisa pani oma käe Maret'i õlale.
En: Liisa placed her hand on Maret's shoulder.

Et: "Usalda oma sisetunnet," soovitas ta.
En: "Trust your intuition," she advised.

Et: "Näita seda, mis sinule on tähtis."
En: "Show what is important to you."

Et: Maret hingas sügavalt sisse ja otsustas.
En: Maret took a deep breath and decided.

Et: Ta valis oma lemmikfoto, kuigi teadis, et vihm võiks ilusa kevadpäeva rikkuda.
En: She chose her favorite photo, even though she knew that rain could spoil the beautiful spring day.

Et: "Tulen, mis tuleb," ütles ta kindlalt ja hakkas oma väljapanekut kaitsma läbipaistva kile abil.
En: "Come what may," she said firmly and began to protect her exhibit with transparent plastic.

Et: Festivali alguses hakkasidki tumedad pilved taevasse kogunema.
En: At the start of the festival, dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

Et: Maret tundis, kuidas...
