Story Transcript:
Et: Karge sügishommik oli Tallinna Lennusadamas kaasatundlik ja vaikne.
En: The crisp autumn morning at the Tallinna Lennusadam was compassionate and quiet.
Et: Mere muuseum oli täis saginat, kui Lembit, Kaarel ja Maie saabusid.
En: The maritime museum was bustling as Lembit, Kaarel, and Maie arrived.
Et: Õhk oli krõbe ja värske ning meretuul puhus lahtiste uste vahelt sisse.
En: The air was sharp and fresh, and the sea breeze blew through the open doors.
Et: Lembit oli põnevil, kuid natuke närvis.
En: Lembit was excited, yet a bit nervous.
Et: Täna pidi ta esitlema oma ettekannet Eesti merendusajaloo teemal.
En: Today, he was supposed to present his lecture on the history of Estonian maritime affairs.
Et: Lembit oli alati uhkelt jaganud oma teadmisi ja armastust merenduse vastu.
En: Lembit had always proudly shared his knowledge and love for maritime.
Et: Kuid täna polnud mingi tavaline päev.
En: But today was not an ordinary day.
Et: Ta oli viimasel ajal muretsenud oma tervise pärast.
En: Lately, he had been worried about his health.
Et: Ebamäärane väsimus, aeg-ajalt peapööritus, need tunded panid teda ikka ja jälle mõtlema.
En: Indefinite fatigue and occasional dizziness had repeatedly troubled his thoughts.
Et: Kaarel ja Maie olid Lembitule toeks.
En: Kaarel and Maie were there to support Lembit.
Et: Koos naerdi ja jalutati eksponaatide vahel.
En: Together, they laughed and strolled among the exhibits.
Et: „Sa teed seda suurepäraselt, Lembit,” innustas Kaarel.
En: "You'll do great, Lembit," encouraged Kaarel.
Et: Lembit noogutas tänulikult.
En: Lembit nodded gratefully.
Et: Kuid südames tundis ta muret.
En: Yet, in his heart, he was concerned.
Et: Ettekanne algas.
En: The presentation began.
Et: Lembit seisis laval, tema ees kolleegid ja külastajad.
En: Lembit stood on stage, with colleagues and visitors in front of him.
Et: Sõnad voolasid sujuvalt, kui äkki, keset lauset, tabas teda terav pearinglus.
En: The words flowed smoothly until, suddenly, midway through a sentence, he was struck by a sharp dizziness.
Et: Ta haaras pulti, otsides tuge.
En: He grabbed the lectern, seeking support.
Et: Hingamine muutus raskeks.
En: Breathing became difficult.
Et: Maie märkab kohe, kuidas Lembit rabeleb, ja viskub appi.
En: Maie immediately noticed Lembit's struggle and rushed to help.
Et: "Kas sa oled korras?
En: "Are you okay?"
Et: " küsis ta murelikult.
En: she asked worriedly.
Et: Lembit püüdis end kokku võtta.
En: Lembit tried to pull himself together.
Et: Ta tahtis ettekannet lõpuni viia, kuid tema keha reetis teda.
En: He wanted to finish the presentation, but his body betrayed him.
Et: Ta langes põlvili, samal ajal kui kolleegid ruttasid teda aitama.
En: He fell to his knees, while colleagues hurried to assist him.
Et: See oli hirmutav hetk.
En: It was a frightening moment.
Et: Kutsuti kiirabi.
En: An ambulance was called.
Et: Kaarel ja Maie hoidsid Lembitu kätt, kuni abi saabus.
En: Kaarel and Maie held Lembit's hand until help arrived.
Et: Muuseum muutus vaikseks, vaid pehmed üleskutsed ja hääled kajaid õhus.
En: The museum grew silent, with only soft urgencies and voices echoing in the air.
