Story Transcript:
Et: Sügisesel pärastlõunal, kui lehed langevad puude otsast ja tuul nende värve mööda metsa laiali kannab, leidis Maarja vana raamatu.
En: On a sügisene afternoon, when the leaves fall from the tops of the trees and the wind scatters their colors through the forest, Maarja found an old book.
Et: Raamat, tolmukihi all, oli salapärane ja peitis enda kaante vahel iidse kaardi.
En: The book, under a layer of dust, was mysterious and hid an ancient map between its covers.
Et: Kaardi servad olid kulunud, tähistades retke kaugele metsa, kuhu kõik need aastad keegi olnud polnud.
En: The edges of the map were worn, marking a journey into the distant forest where no one had been for all these years.
Et: Maarja vaatas kaarti pikalt.
En: Maarja looked at the map for a long time.
Et: Ta tundis, et see oli teeavastaja südame kutse.
En: She felt it was a call to the heart of an explorer.
Et: Ta pöördus oma sõbra Uku poole.
En: She turned to her friend Uku.
Et: Uku, praktiline ja skeptiline, vangutas pead ja ütles: "Miks sa tahad seda vana kaarti järgneda?
En: Uku, practical and skeptical, shook his head and said, "Why do you want to follow that old map?
Et: See on lihtsalt vana paber."
En: It’s just old paper."
Et: "Aga mõtle, Uku," vastas Maarja põlevate silmadega.
En: "But think, Uku," replied Maarja with burning eyes.
Et: "Seal võib olla midagi märkimisväärset.
En: "There might be something remarkable there.
Et: Midagi, mida keegi pole veel avastanud."
En: Something no one has yet discovered."
Et: Maarja teadis, et Uku armastas vana arhitektuuri ja ajalugu, nii et ta lisas: "Seal võib olla vana bunker.
En: Maarja knew that Uku loved old architecture and history, so she added, "There might be an old bunker.
Et: Kes teab, millised arhitektuursed saladused seal peituvad?"
En: Who knows what architectural secrets are hidden there?"
Et: Uku ohkas.
En: Uku sighed.
Et: "Olgu, ma tulen sinuga," nõustus ta suure vastumeelsusega.
En: "Alright, I'll come with you," he agreed with great reluctance.
Et: Ta ei saanud jätta Maarjat üksi nii ohtlikus ja käidud teedes.
En: He couldn't leave Maarja alone on such a dangerous and unfamiliar path.
Et: Nad asusid teele, kaart Maarja tugevasti käes.
En: They set off, the map held tightly in Maarja's hand.
Et: Mets oli tihe, õhk oli jahe ja lõhnas sügise järele.
En: The forest was dense, the air was cool and smelled of autumn.
Et: Maarja juhtis teed, jälgides kaardi märke.
En: Maarja led the way, following the map's signs.
Et: "Vaata, siin peaks see olema," ütles ta lõpuks, osutades väiksele lagendikule.
En: "Look, it should be here," she finally said, pointing to a small clearing.
Et: Keset seda seisis bunker, kaetud viinapuude ja sambla all.
En: In the middle stood a bunker, covered in vines and moss.
Et: "Brr," ütles Uku, kui nad lähenesid.
En: "Brr," said Uku as they approached.
Et: "Näeb tõesti nagu kummituslik välja."
En: "It really looks ghostly."
Et: Äkki kostis kuskilt sügavatest varjudest kummalisi helisid, mis kajasid läbi metsa.
En: Suddenly, strange sounds echoed from deep within the shadows through the forest.
Et: Maarja ja Uku peatunud, süda kõvasti rinnus põksumas.
En: Maarja and Uku stopped, their hearts pounding in their chests.
