Story Transcript:

Et: Päikesepaistelisel suvehommikul kogunesid Tallinnas koolilapsed haigla ees põneva ekskursiooni tarbeks.
En: On a sunny summer morning, school children gathered in front of a hospital in Tallinn for an exciting excursion.

Et: Kooliõpilased, nende seas ka Kaheteistaastane Kert ja tema klassiõde Liina, vaatasid uudishimulikult haigla suuri klaasuksi.
En: Among them were twelve-year-old Kert and his classmate Liina, who curiously eyed the large glass doors of the hospital.

Et: Kert raputas jalga närviliselt.
En: Kert nervously shook his leg.

Et: Ta oli alati tahtnud arstiks saada, kuid haiglaõhkkond tegi teda ärevaks.
En: He had always wanted to become a doctor, but the hospital atmosphere made him anxious.

Et: Liina, kes oli alati rahulik ja enesekindel, patsutas Kerti õlale.
En: Liina, who was always calm and confident, patted Kert on the shoulder.

Et: "Ära muretse, Kert.
En: "Don't worry, Kert.

Et: Tuleb huvitav ekskursioon," ütles ta naeratades.
En: The tour will be interesting," she said with a smile.

Et: Kert noogutas, kuigi tema hääletoon ei kajastanud tema tõelisi tundeid.
En: Kert nodded, though his tone didn't reflect his true feelings.

Et: Ta muretses, et võib minestada, kui näeb meditsiinilisi seadmeid ja protseduure.
En: He worried he might faint when he saw medical equipment and procedures.

Et: Haiglasse sisenedes tervitas neid sõbralik naisarst.
En: As they entered the hospital, a friendly female doctor greeted them.

Et: Ta hakkas selgitama, kuidas haigla töötab.
En: She began to explain how the hospital operates.

Et: Koridorid olid puhtad ja seal levis kerge desinfitseerimislõhn.
En: The corridors were clean, carrying a faint scent of disinfectant.

Et: Päike paistis suurtest akendest sisse ja muutis ruumi helgemaks ja avaramaks.
En: Sunlight streamed in through the large windows, making the space brighter and more open.

Et: Arst näitas lastele kirurgiainstrumente.
En: The doctor showed the children surgical instruments.

Et: Kert tundis oma südame kiirenemist.
En: Kert felt his heart race.

Et: Ta võitles ärevusega, kuid otsustas keskenduda õppimisele.
En: He battled his anxiety but decided to focus on learning.

Et: Ta teadis, et peab üle saama oma hirmust.
En: He knew he had to overcome his fear.

Et: Kert küsis arstilt erinevate instrumentide ja nende kasutuse kohta.
En: Kert asked the doctor about the different instruments and their uses.

Et: Mida rohkem ta küsis, seda kindlamalt ta tundis end.
En: The more he asked, the more confident he felt.

Et: Liina naeratas talle julgustavalt.
En: Liina smiled at him encouragingly.

Et: Ekskursioon liikus edasi.
En: The tour moved on.

Et: Grupi ees avanes uks, kust nad piilusid operatsioonituppa.
En: A door opened in front of the group, revealing an operating room.

Et: Arst selgitas, mis toimub, ja Kert jälgis huviga.
En: The doctor explained what was happening, and Kert watched with interest.

Et: Seal toimus väike protseduur käel, mis ei olnud sugugi nii hirmutav, kui Kert oli ette kujutanud.
En: A small procedure was being done on a hand, which was not nearly as frightening as Kert had imagined.

Et: Kert tundis ootamatut kergust ja põnevust.
En: Kert felt an...
