Story Transcript:
Et: Pärnu Keskraamatukogu oli vaikne ja hubane koht, ideaalne koolitööde tegemiseks.
En: The Pärnu Central Library was a quiet and cozy place, ideal for doing schoolwork.
Et: Raamatukogu suured aknad lasid sisse sügisesest päikesepaistest kumava valguse.
En: The library's large windows let in the light gleaming from the autumn sunshine.
Et: Väljas puhuv jahe tuul keerutas oranže ja kuldseid lehti raamatukogu ees.
En: Outside, the cool wind swirled around orange and golden leaves in front of the library.
Et: Kaia istus ühe laua taga raamatukogu teisel korrusel.
En: Kaia sat at a table on the library's second floor.
Et: Tema ees olid laiali pabermärkmed.
En: Spread out in front of her were paper notes.
Et: Ta näris närviliselt oma pliiatsiotsa, mõeldes, kas tema ettekanne tuleb piisavalt hea.
En: She nervously chewed on the end of her pencil, wondering if her presentation would be good enough.
Et: Mihkel, tema klassivend, istus tema kõrval, sirvides mõned raamatud.
En: Mihkel, her classmate, sat next to her, leafing through some books.
Et: "Kaia, ära muretse nii palju," ütles Mihkel rõõmsalt.
En: "Kaia, don't worry so much," Mihkel said cheerfully.
Et: "Sul tuleb kindlasti hästi välja."
En: "You'll do great for sure."
Et: Kaia ohkas ja vaatas Mihklit.
En: Kaia sighed and looked at Mihkel.
Et: "Ma tean, et ma peaksin olema enesekindlam, kuid olen alati rahva ees kõnelemises kehv."
En: "I know I should be more confident, but I've always been bad at speaking in front of people."
Et: "Ma saan aidata," vastas Mihkel kindlalt.
En: "I can help," Mihkel replied confidently.
Et: "Sul on kõik vajalik info olemas.
En: "You have all the information you need.
Et: Peame vaid harjutama koos."
En: We just need to practice together."
Et: Kaia kõhkles, aga teadis, et vajab abi.
En: Kaia hesitated but knew she needed help.
Et: "Okei, olgu peale.
En: "Okay, fine.
Et: Aitäh sulle."
En: Thank you."
Et: Nad hakkasid koos ettevalmistusi tegema.
En: They began preparing together.
Et: Mihkel pakkus välja, et nad võiksid alustada lihtsate küsimuste ja vastustega, et Kaia tunneks end kindlamalt.
En: Mihkel suggested that they start with simple questions and answers so that Kaia would feel more secure.
Et: Just siis, kui nad olid süvenenud, juhtus midagi ootamatut.
En: Just as they were getting absorbed in their work, something unexpected happened.
Et: Kaia sülearvuti ekraan muutus mustaks.
En: Kaia's laptop screen went black.
Et: "Ei, mitte nüüd!"
En: "No, not now!"
Et: hüüdis Kaia ärevalt.
En: Kaia cried anxiously.
Et: "Minu kogu töö on seal sees."
En: "All my work is on there."
Et: Mihkel ei lasknud end heidutada.
En: Mihkel didn't let himself get discouraged.
Et: "Hei, see on peaaegu hea," ütles ta rõõmsalt.
En: "Hey, this is almost good," he said joyfully.
Et: "See tähendab, et peame improviseerima.
En: "It means we have to improvise.
Et: Sa saad sellega hakkama, ma usun sellesse."
En: You can handle this, I believe in it."
Et: Need Mihkli sõnad lõid Kaiale uue perspektiivi.
En: Those words from Mihkel gave Kaia a new perspective.
Et: Nad jätkasid, töötades pabermärkmike ja mälu järgi.
En: They continued, working from pap
