En: In Soomaa National Park, the spirit of summer prevailed when the evening before jaanipäev (Midsummer Day) arrived. Et: Roheline loodus, vanad tammepuud ja käänulised veeteed täitsid õhku rõõmsalt ringleva pidulikkusega. En: The green nature, ancient oak trees, and winding waterways filled the air with a joyfully circulating festivity. Et: Ent mustad pilved ähvardasid üle taevakaare veereda, justkui hoiatades eesootavate haavade puhul. En: However, black clouds threatened to roll across the sky, as if warning of impending misfortune. Et: Kert, kohalik ajaloolane, seisis vana tamme all, vaadates murelikult kogunenud külarahvast. En: Kert, a local historian, stood under an old oak, looking worriedly at the gathered villagers. Et: Küla uskus iidse talismani jõudu. En: The village believed in the power of an ancient talisman. Et: Ilma talismanita nad kartsid, et pidu jääb ära. En: Without the talisman, they feared the celebration would be canceled. Et: Talisman oli aga teadmata teed kadunud. En: The talisman, however, had disappeared without a trace. Et: "Laine, palun aita meid seda leida," pöördus Kert pargivaht Laine poole, kelle praktilisus ja skeptilisus olid teada-tuntud. En: "Laine, please help us find it," Kert turned to park ranger Laine, whose practicality and skepticism were well-known. Et: "See pole lihtsalt ehe, see on meie ajaloo osa." En: "It's not just a trinket, it's a part of our history." Et: "Laine vaikis hetkeks ja ohkas siis. En: Laine paused for a moment and then sighed. Et: "Ma ei mõista, kuidas üks pisike ese võib nii suure tähtsusega olla," ütles Laine. En: "I don't understand how one tiny item can be of such importance," said Laine. Et: Maarja, vanem külajutustaja, kes teati oma lugude ja tarkuste poolest, seisis nende kõrval. En: Maarja, an elderly village storyteller known for her tales and wisdom, stood beside them. Et: "See pole lihtsalt ese, vaid legend," sosistas Maarja habemesse. En: "It’s not just an item, but a legend," Maarja whispered to herself. Et: "Kui me seda ei leia, võib tõesti midagi juhtuda." En: "If we don’t find it, something might indeed happen." Et: Kolmekesi otsustasid nad alustada otsingut. En: The three of them decided to start searching. Et: Maarja teadis metsa saladusi paremini kui keegi teine ning Kerti ajalugu andis neile suuna. En: Maarja knew the secrets of the forest better than anyone else, and Kert's knowledge of history gave them direction. Et: Laine järgnes tahtmatult, kuid uudishimu endiselt põuast tõusmas. En: Laine followed reluctantly, but her curiosity was growing despite her dry skepticism. Et: Nad rändasid läbi soode ja möödusid voogavatest jõgedest, kui äkitselt hakkas vihma kallama. En: They traveled through swamps and passed flowing rivers, when suddenly it began to rain heavily. Et: Nad leidsid varju ühe iidsel tamme all, mille oksad ulatusid nagu kaitsvad käed. En: They found shelter under an ancient oak tree, whose branches extended like protective arms. Et: Oli sel tamme all, kus nad sattusid iidse kividega kaetud nurgakesse. En: It was under this oak where they stumbled upon a corner covered with ancient stones. Et: Maa all piilus talisman, mis oma väiksuses säras kergelt verevas valguses. En: Beneath the soil, the talisman glimmered faintly with a red light. Et: "Talisaman!" En: "The talisman!" Et: hüüatas Kert, kui Maarja ja Laine hämmeldunult pea noogutasid. En: exclaimed Kert, as Maarja and Laine nodded their heads in astonishment. Et: Kuid nende peatus andis neile rohkem. En: But their pause gave them more. Et: Tamm näitas neile külalaulu, mis rääkis rahu ja ühtsusetunnetest, mitte pelgalt ebausust. En: The oak revealed to them a village song that spoke of peace and unity, not just superstition. Et: Vihmas juhtunud avastus tõi neile kõigile midagi uut. En: The discovery in the rain brought something new to all of them. Et: Kerti silmis helkis uus mõistmine ajaloo ja müüdi koostoimest. En: In Kert's eyes, a new understanding of the interaction between history and myth gleamed. Et: Laine nägi traditsioonide austamist uues valguses, ja Maarja mõistis, et noorem põlvkond soovib lugusid elus hoida. En: Laine saw the respect for traditions in a new light, and Maarja realized that the younger generation wished to keep the stories alive. Et: Kui päike lõpuks murdis läbi pilvede, naasid nad külla. En: As the sun finally broke through the clouds, they returned to the village. Et: Jaanituli süüdati, inimesed kogunesid ümber, ja pidu algas uue ühtekuuluvuse tunnetusega. En: The jaanituli (midsummer bonfire) was lit, people gathered around, and the celebration began with a renewed sense of unity. Et: Talisman asus nüüd aukoha külaplatsil, mitte pelgalt ebausu sümbolina, vaid meie ajaloo ja ühtsuse märgina. En: The talisman now held a place of honor in the village square, not merely as a symbol of superstition, but as a sign of our history and unity.

En: Leila stood in front of the large window, looking into the distance where the majestic kased swayed gently in the summer breeze. Et: Päikesekiired mängisid toas, heites valgusemängu puidust põrandatele. En: Sunbeams played inside the room, casting a dance of light on the wooden floors. Et: Oli Jaanipäeva eelsel hommikul ja Leila tundis hinges närvivalu. En: It was the morning before Jaanipäev and Leila felt a pang of nervousness in her heart. Et: Tal tuli meelde vanaema Helmi, kes alati armastas suviseid kogunemisi korraldada. En: She remembered Grandma Helmi, who always loved to organize summer gatherings. Et: "Meie peretraditsioon peab jätkuma," pomises Leila endamisi. En: "Our family tradition must continue," Leila murmured to herself. Et: Kuid ülesanne polnud lihtne. En: However, the task was not simple. Et: Suurel perel oli alati omad erimeelsused ja seekord tuli lisada sellele vana tülitsemine kahe pereliikme vahel. En: A large family always had its own disagreements, and this time, there was an old quarrel between two family members to add to it. Et: Leila teadis, et vanaema sooviks, et nendevaheline vaen lõpeks. En: Leila knew that Grandma would wish for their feud to end. Et: Ta otsustas korraldada väikese koosoleku nende kahe vahel, lootes, et nad suudavad erinevused kõrvale heita. En: She decided to arrange a small meeting between the two, hoping they could put their differences aside. Et: Leila voodiserval istudes kontrollis ta veel kord oma märkmeid. En: Sitting on the edge of her bed, Leila checked her notes once more. Et: Ta oli graafiku üle uhke, kuigi kõik polnud sujunud probleemideta. En: She was proud of her schedule, even though not everything had gone smoothly. Et: Kuid tema püüdlus hoida perekond koos oli tugevam kui igasugused takistused. En: But her drive to keep the family together was stronger than any obstacles. Et: Ta sirutas käe, et süüdata mõned paberist laternad, mis ootasid verandale riputamist. En: She reached out to light some paper lanterns that were waiting to be hung on the veranda. Et: Kui õhtu saabus, hakkas perekond kogunema. En: As evening approached, the family began to gather. Et: Igaühel oli kaasas midagi erilist – vanaema retseptikogude järgi valmistatud roogasid, kõrvetav koduõlu ja naeru täis mälestused. En: Everyone brought something special — dishes prepared according to Grandma's recipe collections, scorching homemade beer, and laughter-filled memories. Et: Kuid Leilal oli üks hirm. En: But Leila had one fear. Et: Tundus, et vihmapilved kogunesid, ning peagi hakkas sadama. En: It seemed that rain clouds were gathering, and soon it started to rain. Et: "Mida me teeme?" En: "What do we do?" Et: küsis üks sugulane, kartlikult aknast välja vaadates. En: asked one relative, looking nervously out the window. Et: Leila teadis vastust. En: Leila knew the answer. Et: Ta improviseeris ja tõi kõik siseruumidesse. En: She improvised and moved everything indoors. Et: Laia elutoa ümberkujundamine hubaseks kogunemiskohaks oli väljakutse, aga pereliikmete abiga sai kõik valmis kiiresti. En: Transforming the wide living room into a cozy gathering place was a challenge, but with the help of family members, everything was ready quickly. Et: Küünlad pandi aknalaudadele ja lauale katteti valge lina. En: Candles were placed on windowsills, and the table was covered with a white cloth. Et: Kõik aitasid kaasa – mõned seadistasid muusikat, teised valmistasid maitsvaid suupisteid. En: Everyone pitched in — some set up music, others prepared delicious snacks. Et: Õhtu edenedes tundus, nagu vihm oleks lihtsalt lisakutsutu, kes tõi perekonna lähemale. En: As the evening progressed, it seemed as if the rain was just an extra guest that brought the family closer together. Et: Ja siis juhtus ime. En: And then a miracle happened. Et: Kaks kaua vaenulikku pereliiget naeratasid ja meenutasid vana Jaanipäeva tähistamist, mille käigus nad omal ajal koos lõõrid mängisid ja laulsid. En: Two long-hostile family members smiled and recalled an old Jaanipäev celebration during which they once played flutes and sang together. Et: Leila vaatas, kuidas nad kordamööda rääkisid vanadest aegadest ja nägi, kuidas nende erinevused sulasid minevikku. En: Leila watched as they took turns talking about the old days and saw how their differences melted into the past. Et: Kui öö lõppes, tundis Leila südames rahu. En: As the night ended, Leila felt peace in her heart. Et: Vihm, mis kunagi ähvardas koduõue pidustused rikkuda, oli tegelikult tõestanud midagi tähtsamat. En: The rain that once threatened to spoil the backyard festivities had actually proven something more important. Et: Tõeline pidu oli toimumine südames – koosolemine ja mälestuste jagamine. En: The real celebration was happening in the heart — being together and sharing memories. Et: Vanaema Helmi oleks uhke, mõtles Leila, kui süüdistas koos rõõmsalt naervate pereliikmetega. En: Grandma Helmi would be proud, thought Leila as she joined in the joyful laughter with the family members. Et: Ja sel hetkel mõistis ta, et kohandumine uute olukordadega võib viia tugevamate peresidemeteni. En: And at that moment, she realized that adapting to new situations could lead to stronger family bonds. Et: See oli Jaanipäev, mida nad kõik mäletavad. En: This was a Jaanipäev they would all remember.

En: Summer had turned hot and sunny. Et: Leelo ja Toomas seisid suure pereelamu laia sissepääsu ees. En: Leelo and Toomas stood in front of the wide entrance of the large family house. Et: Majas oli õhus ootusärevus ‒ sugulased tulevad peagi külla. En: There was an air of anticipation in the house ‒ relatives were soon arriving for a visit. Et: Leelo vaatas kella. En: Leelo glanced at the clock. Et: "Me peame poes kiiresti käima," ütles ta kindlameelselt. En: "We need to make a quick trip to the store," she said firmly. Et: Toomas peatus hetkeks, vaadates naabrinaise lillepeenraid. En: Toomas paused for a moment, looking at the neighbor's flower beds. Et: "Jah, muidugi," vastas ta hajameelselt, mõeldes lopsakatele tomatitaimedele. En: "Yes, of course," he responded absentmindedly, thinking about the lush tomato plants. Et: Poest kostev müra tervitas neid. En: The noise from the store greeted them. Et: Leelo sirutas käe ostunimekirja järele. En: Leelo reached for the shopping list. Et: Nimekiri oli põhjalik ja täpne ‒ kõik vajalik suureks koosviibimiseks. En: The list was thorough and precise ‒ everything needed for a big gathering. Et: "Kohe hakkama, Toomas," sõnas Leelo ja astus kiirel sammul sisse. En: "Let's get started right away, Toomas," said Leelo and stepped inside briskly. Et: Toomas aga tüdines juba esimeses vahekäigus, silmitsedes huvitavaid uusi tooteid. En: Toomas, however, grew bored in the first aisle, eyeing interesting new products. Et: Silmad jäid peatuma erinevatel kõnekal judamaadivalikus. En: His eyes lingered on a varied selection of jams. Et: "Vaata, Leelo, ei tea, kas see moos on parem kui meie vana," lausus Toomas põnevalt. En: "Look, Leelo, I wonder if this jam is better than our usual one," Toomas said excitedly. Et: Leelo ohkas ja tõi Toomase tagasi nimekirja juurde. En: Leelo sighed and brought Toomas back to the list. Et: "Võtame hiljem moosi," vastas ta, teades, et aeg tiksus. En: "We'll get the jam later," she replied, knowing that time was ticking. Et: Kuid sellest hoolimata kiirgas Toomase silmis uudishimu. En: Nevertheless, Toomas's eyes still radiated curiosity. Et: Ta avastas uusi sorte ja hakkas teiste klientidega vestlema, uurides nende arvamust. En: He discovered new varieties and started chatting with other customers, asking for their opinions. Et: Vahepeal kiirustas Leelo riiulite vahel, korjates kokku kõigi vajalike koostisosade jaemärkmikust. En: Meanwhile, Leelo hurried between shelves, gathering all the necessary ingredients from the shopping list. Et: Pastaosakond osutus pöördehetkeks. En: The pasta section proved to be a turning point. Et: Leelo sirutas käe spagetipaki järele, kuid siis vaatas, et Toomas arutles ühe vanaprouaga makaronide üle. En: Leelo reached for a pack of spaghetti but then noticed Toomas discussing macaroni with an elderly lady. Et: "Toomas, meil on vaja edasi liikuda," rõhutas Leelo. En: "Toomas, we need to move on," Leelo emphasized. Et: Toomas, märkamatagi olukorra tõsidust, naeratas. En: Toomas, not noticing the seriousness of the situation, smiled. Et: "Aga vaata, milliseid põnevaid kujusid neil on," vastas ta. En: "But look at these exciting shapes they have," he replied. Et: Leelo silmis vilksatas hetkeks pettumus. En: A flicker of disappointment crossed Leelo's eyes. Et: Siis hingas ta sügavalt sisse. En: Then she took a deep breath. Et: "Okei, kui suudame selle nautida, saame ka kiiresti tehtud," ütles Leelo rahulikult, kuid kindlalt. En: "Okay, if we can enjoy it, we can also do it quickly," said Leelo calmly but firmly. Et: Toomas noogutas mõistvalt ja asus kiiremini liigutama, pöörates rohkem tähelepanu nimekirjale. En: Toomas nodded understandingly and started moving faster, paying more attention to the list. Et: Nad jalutasid koos, nüüd kiiremini, kuid samas väikese huumoriga ostukärus leiduvaid kergelt ülemääraseid oste. En: They walked together, now moving quicker, but with a bit of humor about the slightly excessive purchases in the shopping cart. Et: Lõppkokkuvõttes olid nad liitnud mõlema soove ‒ nimekiri täidetud ja ka mõned üllatuslikud avastused tehtud. En: In the end, they combined both of their desires ‒ the list was completed, and some surprising discoveries were made. Et: Koduteel auto pagasiruum täis, arutas Toomas naeratusega: "Näed, saime lõbusalt hakkama." En: On the way home, the car trunk full, Toomas commented with a smile, "See, we managed to have fun." Et: Leelo naeratas talle vastu. En: Leelo smiled back at him. Et: "Vahel pole pahategu veidi nautida," vastas ta leplikult. En: "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to enjoy a little," she replied indulgently. Et: Nad jõudsid tagasi suure pereelamu juurde, valmis külalisi vastu võtma. En: They returned to the large family house, ready to welcome guests. Et: Ja kuigi ostureis ei läinud täpselt plaani järgi, olid nad koos kindlamad ja naersid tehtud valikute üle. En: And although the shopping trip didn’t go exactly as planned, they were more confident together and laughed over the choices they made. Et: Suvepäike paistis nende kokkuleppele, pannes Leelo ja Toomase mõistma ‒ mõnikord pehideb tähtsaim hetkes, mitte kiiretes tegudes. En: The summer sun shone on their agreement, making Leelo and Toomas realize ‒ sometimes the most important thing is found in the moment, not in rushing actions.

En: Airi began her morning by the Tuhala Nõiakaev (Witch's Well), where a large outdoor market was being organized in honor of Midsummer's Day. Et: Õhk oli täis rõõmsat suminad ja lõhnadest tulvil: suitsutatud kala, värskelt valmistatud karamell ja pärnade magus aroom. En: The air was filled with joyful humming and scents aplenty: smoked fish, freshly made caramel, and the sweet aroma of lime trees. Et: Airi seadis oma käsitöötoodete laua valmis, täis klaaskuule, puidust nikerdatud mänguasju ja lillemustriga tekstiile. En: Airi set up her craft products table, filled with glass spheres, wooden carved toys, and textiles with floral patterns. Et: Tema sõber Maarja aitas tal lauda kaunistada. En: Her friend Maarja helped her decorate the table. Et: "Need liiliapiimavärvi suured rätikud on täiuslikud," ütles ta entusiastlikult. En: "These lily milk-colored large scarves are perfect," she said enthusiastically. Et: Maarja oli alati Airi poolel, toetamas Airi unistust oma kunstigalerii avamisest, kui tema müük kord piisavalt hästi edeneks. En: Maarja was always on Airi's side, supporting Airi's dream of opening her art gallery once her sales progressed well enough. Et: Kristjan, kes oli juhtunud ka turule, et osta oma perele värsket leiba ja marju, peatus nende leti ees. En: Kristjan, who happened to also be at the market to buy fresh bread and berries for his family, stopped by their stall. Et: "Need on imeliselt valmistatud," kommenteeris ta, hoides ühte klaaskera valgust vastu. En: "These are wonderfully made," he commented, holding one of the glass spheres against the light. Et: "Kas sul on täna suuri plaane, Airi?" En: "Do you have big plans today, Airi?" Et: küsis ta heatahtlikult naeratades. En: he asked with a kindly smile. Et: "Jah, ma loodan, et täna on hea päev müügiks," vastas Airi. En: "Yes, I hope today will be a good day for sales," Airi replied. Et: "Ma pean inimesi oma lauda juurde tooma." En: "I need to draw people to my table." Et: Kuid turul ei olnud üksi tema. En: But she wasn't alone at the market. Et: Tippsuvisel ajal oli seal palju teisi käsitöömeistreid ja kaupmehi, kõik püüdsid tähelepanu köita. En: At the height of summer, there were many other craftspersons and vendors, all trying to capture attention. Et: Konkureerimine oli karm. En: The competition was tough. Et: Ja siis, ootamatult, hakkas vihma sadama. En: And then, unexpectedly, it started to rain. Et: Inimesed tiirlesid turuplatsil, otsides varju. En: People circled the marketplace, looking for shelter. Et: Airi vaatas taeva poole. En: Airi looked up at the sky. Et: Pilved olid sünged, kuid tema süda oli veendunud. En: The clouds were gloomy, but her heart was determined. Et: Ta teadis, et ei saa lihtsalt oma asju kokku pakkida. En: She knew she couldn't just pack up her things. Et: "Maarja, aita mul plastikust varikatus paika panna," palus ta. En: "Maarja, help me set up the plastic canopy," she requested. Et: Maarja kiirustas appi, ja varsti oli Airi lett kaetud, hoides kõik kuiva ja turvalisena. En: Maarja hurried to assist, and soon Airi's stall was covered, keeping everything dry and secure. Et: "Proovime midagi uut," sosistas Airi. En: "Let's try something new," whispered Airi. Et: Ta pani suure termosetäie taimeteed soojenema ja hakkas möödakäijatele tassi pakkuma. En: She set a large thermos of herbal tea to warm and began offering cups to passersby. Et: "Tasmaja tee tasuta! En: "Free warming tea! Et: ", hüüdis ta naeratades. En: ", she called out with a smile. Et: Peagi kogunesid inimesed tema laua äärde, soojendades end teetasside ja Airi lahke naeratuse saatel. En: Soon, people gathered around her table, warming themselves with cups of tea and Airi’s kind smile. Et: "See on tore komme," ütles üks vanem naine, vehkides teetassist auru kõrvale. En: "This is a nice custom," said an elderly woman, waving steam from her tea cup aside. Et: "Mida sa veel müüd?" En: "What else are you selling?" Et: Seda hetke kasutas Airi oma käsitöö tutvustamiseks, sidudes oma lugudele Jaanipäeva laulusõnu ja legende. En: Airi took this moment to introduce her crafts, intertwining her stories with Midsummer song lyrics and legends. Et: Inimesed kuulasid huviga, vaatlesid tema tooteid ja hakkasid oste tegema. En: People listened with interest, examined her products, and began making purchases. Et: Päeva lõpus oli Airi lett peaaegu tühi. En: By the end of the day, Airi's stall was nearly empty. Et: Maarja naeratas laia naeratusega. En: Maarja smiled broadly. Et: "Sa tegid seda, Airi!" En: "You did it, Airi!" Et: Kristjan tuli tagasi, olles kuulnud tema edukast päevast. En: Kristjan came back, having heard about her successful day. Et: Airi istus maha, nautides ainsa rahuliku hetke turul. En: Airi sat down, enjoying a rare calm moment at the market. Et: Kõik see oli vihma all. En: All this took place under the rain. Et: Ta tundis end rahulikuna, teades, et oli ületanud raskused, vaikselt ammutades kindlust, et tema unistus oli samm-sammult lähemal. En: She felt at peace, knowing she had overcome the difficulties, quietly drawing confidence that her dream was becoming closer step by step. Et: Juhuse ja oskuse koosmõjul oli antud Jaanipäev mitte ainult müügi, vaid ka elu õppetundide aeg.

En: The Jaanipäeva sun shone brightly in Järvevana järvepark. Et: Rahvas oli tulnud kokku, et pidada aasta suurimat suvepidu. En: People had gathered to celebrate the biggest summer festival of the year. Et: Bonfire lõõmas ja rõõmsad laulud kõlasid üle pargi. En: A bonfire blazed and joyful songs echoed throughout the park. Et: Pargiservas, järveäärsel rajal, ootas algust süsta- ja aerulaua võistlus. En: At the edge of the park, by the lakeside path, a kayak and paddleboard race was about to start. Et: Ahto seisis närviliselt kaldal, vahtides sinavaid laineid ja proovides endale julgust sisendada. En: Ahto stood nervously on the shore, watching the blue waves and trying to muster some courage. Et: "Ära muretse, Ahto," naeris Leelo kõrvalt, lükates kergelt tema õlga. En: "Don't worry, Ahto," laughed Leelo beside him, giving his shoulder a gentle push. Et: "See on lihtsalt lõbu pärast." En: "It's just for fun." Et: Ahto hingas sügavalt sisse. En: Ahto took a deep breath. Et: "Ma lihtsalt ei taha vette kukkuda," ütles ta tõsiselt. En: "I just don't want to fall into the water," he said seriously. Et: Ta vaatas teisi võistlejaid, kes kõik nägid välja nagu oleksid nad sündinud veepõlvedel. En: He looked at the other competitors, who all seemed like they were born on sea legs. Et: "Kõik on korras, sa saad hakkama," julgustas Leelo, kelle silmis sädeles seiklushimu. En: "It's all right, you'll be fine," encouraged Leelo, whose eyes sparkled with a sense of adventure. Et: "Tegelikult on see lihtne. En: "It's really easy. Et: Ja kes teab, võib-olla üllatad nii mind kui ka ennast!" En: And who knows, you might surprise both me and yourself!" Et: Kohtunik andis vilega märku. En: The referee blew the whistle. Et: Võistlus algas. En: The race began. Et: Ahto tundis südame sees löövat trummilööki, kui ta tõukus esimest korda aerulauale. En: Ahto felt a drumbeat in his heart as he pushed off on the paddleboard for the first time. Et: Vesi sädelevalt lainetas tema all, ja korraga tundus maailm palju suurem ja karmim. En: The water sparkled and rippled beneath him, and suddenly the world seemed much bigger and tougher. Et: Esimesed meetrid olid täis kõhklusi. En: The first few meters were full of hesitation. Et: Ahto tasakaalutas hoolikalt, püüdes mitte pilku alla heita. En: Ahto balanced carefully, trying not to look down. Et: Leelo möödus tema kõrval kergel sammul, lehvitades: "Kui me tagasi tuleme, teen ma sulle võidupärja!" En: Leelo passed by him in an easy stride, waving: "When we come back, I'll make you a victory wreath!" Et: Naeratus lipsas Ahto huultele ja ta surus end edasi, aeglaselt kogudes julgust. En: A smile slipped onto Ahto's lips, and he pressed on, slowly gathering courage. Et: Kuid tuul tõusis, paisates kergeid laineid ümber tema laua. En: But the wind picked up, casting light waves around his board. Et: "Ma pean toime tulema," mõtles Ahto endamisi. En: "I have to manage," Ahto thought to himself. Et: "Ma pean Leelole näitama." En: "I have to show Leelo." Et: Edasi liikudes tundis ta, kuidas tasakaal tugevneb. En: As he moved forward, he felt his balance strengthening. Et: Hirm taandus järk-järgult. En: Fear gradually faded away. Et: Ta unustas mõneks hetkeks isegi võidujanu, tundes pelgalt rõõmu liikumisest ja veest tema all. En: For a few moments, he even forgot about the hunger for victory, feeling merely the joy of movement and the water beneath him. Et: Lõpu lähenedes tabas teda tugev tuuleiil. En: As the end approached, a strong gust of wind hit him. Et: Ahto kõikus, silmad läksid suureks. En: Ahto wobbled, his eyes widened. Et: Kohe tundus kõik libisevat ta käest. En: Suddenly, everything seemed to slip from his grasp. Et: Kuid tema käsi püsis kindlalt aerul ja ta sirutas end taas stabiilsusele. En: But his hand remained firm on the paddle, and he reached for stability once again. Et: "Lõpp on lähedal!" En: "The finish is near!" Et: Leelo hüüdis, viibates eemalt äärest. En: Leelo shouted, waving from the side. Et: Ahto suunas pingutuse ja sõitis edasi. En: Ahto directed his effort and paddled forward. Et: Ta ei võitnud võistlust, kuid suutis lõpetada ilma kordagi vette kukkumata. En: He didn't win the race, but he managed to finish without falling into the water even once. Et: Leelo tormas kaldale naeratades. En: Leelo rushed to the shore, smiling. Et: "Sa olid imeline!" En: "You were amazing!" Et: kiitis ta. En: she praised. Et: Ahto hingas raskelt, kuid silmad särasid. En: Ahto breathed heavily, but his eyes were shining. Et: "Ma tegin seda!" En: "I did it!" Et: naeris ta. En: he laughed. Et: Nad istusid koos kaldal, vaadates järve üle. En: They sat together on the shore, looking over the lake. Et: "Ma pole kunagi mõelnud, et saan hakkama." En: "I never thought I could do it." Et: "Sa oled julge," ütles Leelo. En: "You're brave," Leelo said. Et: "Ja see on kõige tähtsam." En: "And that's the most important thing." Et: Sel õhtul, kui jaanipäeva tuli lõõmas nende ümber, tundis Ahto end tugevamana. En: That evening, as the Jaanipäeva fire blazed around them, Ahto felt stronger. Et: Ta ei pidanud kedagi teist muljet avaldama, leidis ta, vaid iseenesest tuli uhkus ja rahulolu. En: He didn't need to impress anyone else, he found, as pride and satisfaction came from within.
