Story Transcript:
Et: Tallinna Keskgümnaasiumis oli sügis käes.
En: At Tallinna Keskgümnaasium, it was autumn.
Et: Jalad krudisesid, kui lapsed mööda krõmpsuvat lehesadu kiirustasid.
En: Feet crunched as children hurried through the crunchy leaves.
Et: Koolimaja, vana ja sõbralik, seisis kindlalt oma creakiva puidust põrandaga.
En: The school building, old and friendly, stood firmly with its creaky wooden floor.
Et: Ootasin Halloweeni pidu.
En: I was looking forward to the Halloween party.
Et: Koolis olid kõik elevil, kuid vastutus oli suuresti kahe inimese käes: Karoliina ja Tanel.
En: Everyone at school was excited, but the responsibility was largely in the hands of two people: Karoliina and Tanel.
Et: Karoliina, energiline tüdruk, kes armastas iga projekti täiuslikult planeerida, unistas parimast Halloweenist kooli ajaloos.
En: Karoliina, an energetic girl who loved to perfectly plan every project, dreamed of the best Halloween in the school's history.
Et: Kõik pidi olema paigas.
En: Everything had to be just right.
Et: Tõeline meistriklass!
En: A true masterpiece!
Et: Tema kõrval aga seisis Tanel.
En: Beside her, however, stood Tanel.
Et: Loominguline ja unistav, temal oli siiski probleem ajakavade järgimisega.
En: Creative and dreamy, he had a problem with keeping up with schedules.
Et: "Näed," ütles Karoliina Tanelile, kui nad kooli saalis kohtusid, "meil on aega vähe ja sulgeda järgne nädalavahetus."
En: "You see," said Karoliina to Tanel when they met in the school hall, "we have little time and only the next weekend to close it."
Et: Tanel naeratas laisalt.
En: Tanel smiled lazily.
Et: "Ära muretse, Karoliina.
En: "Don't worry, Karoliina.
Et: Ma olen loonud suurepäraseid dekoratsioonikavasid."
En: I've created great decoration plans."
Et: Aga mure polnud ainult ajas.
En: But the concern wasn't only about time.
Et: Eelarve oli väike ja vabatahtlikke napilt.
En: The budget was small and volunteers were scarce.
Et: "Me peame teisi lapsi kaasama," pakkus Karoliina välja.
En: "We need to involve the other kids," suggested Karoliina.
Et: Ta jagas ülesanded väikeste gruppide vahel, kes kiiresti hakkasid tööle.
En: She distributed tasks among small groups who quickly got to work.
Et: Tänu Karoliina kindlale juhtimisele ja Taneli loovusele, õnnestus saali kaunistada oranžide ja mustade lintidega, mis rippusid sädelevate kõrvitsate vahel.
En: Thanks to Karoliina's firm leadership and Tanel's creativity, the hall was decorated with orange and black ribbons hanging among sparkling pumpkins.
Et: Oli tunda karget sügisõhku ja õitva pidulikkuse ootust.
En: The crisp autumn air and the anticipation of blooming festivity could be felt.
Et: Viimaks käes oli õhtu, mida kõik ootasid.
En: Finally, the evening everyone was waiting for had arrived.
Et: Kogu saal oli täitunud elevil õpilastega.
En: The whole hall was filled with excited students.
Et: Äkki, just enne peo algust, kustusid kõik lambid.
En: Suddenly, just before the party was about to start, all the lights went out.
Et: Kõik tardusid paigale.
En: Everyone froze.
Et: Elekter oli kadunud.
En: The electricity was gone.
Et: Karoliina süda kukkus vaibus.
En: Karoliina's heart sank.
Et: Kuid Tanel, otsekui ilmutuse
