Story Transcript:
Et: Tallinna Keskkoolis valitses sügisene sagin.
En: Tallinna Keskkoolis was bustling with autumn activity.
Et: Halloween oli tulekul ja koolimajad mattusid kummituslikesse kaunistustesse.
En: Halloween was approaching, and the school buildings were draped in ghostly decorations.
Et: Kunstiklassi ukse juures seisis Kaarel, silmad murelikult ringi vaatamas.
En: By the door of the art classroom stood Kaarel, looking around anxiously.
Et: Tahtis võita Halloween'i kunstikonkursi, kuid viimasel ajal tundus, et inspiratsioon tema juurest põgenes.
En: He wanted to win the Halloween art contest, but lately, it seemed like inspiration had eluded him.
Et: Kaarel oli hingelt kunstnik ja konkurents pani teda alati endast parima andma.
En: Kaarel was an artist at heart, and competition always pushed him to give his best.
Et: Aga nüüd, koos uue õpilase Reiko saabumisega, tundus kõik raskem.
En: But now, with the arrival of a new student, Reiko, everything felt more challenging.
Et: Reiko oli andekas—võib-olla isegi geenius—ja Kaarel tundis end temaga võrreldes kahvatuna.
En: Reiko was talented—perhaps even a genius—and Kaarel felt he paled in comparison.
Et: "Ole rahulik," ütles Maarja, Kaarli parim sõber, kui nad klassist välja sammusid.
En: "Stay calm," said Maarja, Kaarel's best friend, as they walked out of the classroom.
Et: "Me leiame midagi vinget.
En: "We'll come up with something amazing."
Et: "Koos Maarjaga otsustas Kaarel minna kunstipoest varusid otsima.
En: Together with Maarja, Kaarel decided to go to the art store to search for supplies.
Et: Poeriiulitelt vaatasid vastu värvilised pabereid, sädelevaid kangaid ning kõiksugu kummalisi materjale.
En: The shelves were filled with colorful papers, glittery fabrics, and all sorts of peculiar materials.
Et: "Mis sa arvad, kui teeksime midagi üllatavat, nagu puuviljadega maskide seeria?
En: "What do you think about creating something surprising, like a series of masks with fruits?"
Et: " pakkus Maarja, kui nad riiulite vahel kulgesid.
En: suggested Maarja as they browsed the aisles.
Et: Kaarel vakatas hetkeks.
En: Kaarel paused for a moment.
Et: Puuviljad ja maskid.
En: Fruits and masks...
Et: Sel oli potentsiaali.
En: It had potential.
Et: "See võiks tõesti eristuda," mõtles Kaarel valjult.
En: "That could really stand out," Kaarel thought aloud.
Et: "Aga kas see pole Reiko moodi teema?
En: "But isn't that a Reiko-like theme?
Et: Ta tundub alati olevat ainulaadne.
En: He always seems to have unique ideas."
Et: ""Aga sina oled Kaarel," ütles Maarja julgustavalt.
En: "But you are Kaarel," said Maarja encouragingly.
Et: "Teed seda omal viisil.
En: "You'll do it your way."
Et: "Valisid poest vajalikud varud ja Kaarel tundis, kuidas ideede vool tagasi tema maailma tuli.
En: They chose the necessary supplies from the store, and Kaarel felt the flow of ideas returning to his world.
Et: Koos Maarjaga leidsid nad inspiratsiooni värvidest ja tekstuuridest.
En: Together with Maarja, they found inspiration in colors and textures.
Et: Koostöö pakkus mõtteid, mida Kaarel üksi poleks mõelnudki.
En: Their collaboration brought forth ideas that Kaarel wouldn't have thought of alone.
Et: Konkurssipäev jõudis kätte.
En: Contest day arrived.
