Story Transcript:

Et: Maltal, väike ja kitsas munakivitee Valletta südames, magas vaikne kevadhommik.
En: In Malta, a small and narrow cobblestone street in the heart of Valletta slept through a quiet spring morning.

Et: Maarika ja Rasmus jalutasid, imetledes ilusat loodust ja vanu kivimaju.
En: Maarika and Rasmus walked, admiring the beautiful nature and old stone houses.

Et: Rasmus oli pigem ettevaatlik, Maarika aga janunes seikluste järele.
En: Rasmus was rather cautious, while Maarika thirsted for adventure.

Et: "Vaata, see raamatukogu seal!" näitas Maarika äkki.
En: "Look, that library over there!" Maarika pointed suddenly.

Et: "Lähme vaatame!"
En: "Let's go have a look!"

Et: Nad sisenesid vanasse raamatukokku, mille seinad olid täis antiikseid raamatuid.
En: They entered the old library, its walls filled with antique books.

Et: Maarika sirvis tähelepanelikult riiuleid.
En: Maarika carefully browsed the shelves.

Et: Üks neist, vana ja kulunud raamat, äratas tema huvi.
En: One of them, an old and worn book, caught her interest.

Et: Ta avas selle ja leidis kummalise vana kaardi, mille üle nurisev ja segane joonistus pani teda kuidagi erutatult muigama.
En: She opened it and found a strange old map, with a messy and confusing drawing that made her smile excitedly.

Et: "Mis see on?" küsis Rasmus pisut murelikult.
En: "What is it?" asked Rasmus a little worriedly.

Et: "See tundub vana aaretekaart olevat! Rasmus, peame seda uurima!" Maarika silmad särasid põnevusest.
En: "It seems to be an old treasure map! Rasmus, we have to investigate it!" Maarika's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Et: "Maarika, ole ettevaatlik. Need vanad asjad on noorele tüdrukule pigem keerulised," Rasmus manitses teda.
En: "Maarika, be careful. These old things are rather complicated for a young girl," Rasmus cautioned her.

Et: Ignoreerides Rasmuse kahtlusi, uuris Maarika kaarti.
En: Ignoring Rasmus's doubts, Maarika examined the map.

Et: Nemad vaatasid ümbritsevat linnaosa, märke ja sümboleid, millest nad aru ei saanud.
En: They looked at the surrounding neighborhood, signs and symbols they couldn't understand.

Et: Ja ikka ning jälle vaidlustasid nad kaardi tõlgendusi.
En: Again and again, they disputed the map’s interpretations.

Et: Kohalikud, keda nad küsitlesid, muigasid skeptiliselt.
En: The locals they questioned smiled skeptically.

Et: "Selliseid kaarte on nähtud ennegi. Need ei vii kuhugi," vastasid nad.
En: "Such maps have been seen before. They lead nowhere," they replied.

Et: Maarika oli otsustanud.
En: Maarika was determined.

Et: "Me peame minema, Rasmus," veenis ta.
En: "We have to go, Rasmus," she urged.

Et: Rahu ja kindlust tundes järgnes Rasmus viimaks tema jälgedes.
En: Feeling peace and certainty, Rasmus finally followed in her footsteps.

Et: Nad järgnesid kaardile edasi, seejärel langesid nad ühe vana maja keldri uksest alla.
En: They followed the map further and then tumbled through the cellar door of an old house.

Et: Ümbritsevad märke paistsid lõpuks kaardi sümbolitega kattuvat.
En: The surrounding signs seemed to finally match the symbols on the map.

Et: "Keldri all... siin see peab olema!" Maarika ütles innukalt.
En: "Under the cellar... this must be it!" Maarika said eagerly.

Et: Vaheseina taga avanes unustatud...
