Story Transcript:
Et: Tarmo oli seiklushimuline mees Eestist, kes armastas veeta oma sünnipäevi ebatavalistes kohtades.
En: Tarmo was an adventurous man from Estonia, who loved spending his birthdays in unusual places.
Et: Seekord oli ta otsustanud pidada oma sünnipäevapidu üksinda Amazonase vihmametsas.
En: This time, he decided to celebrate his birthday alone in the Amazon Rainforest.
Et: Ta lootis salamisi, et ehk näeb ta seal haruldast jaguari.
En: He secretly hoped that he might see a rare jaguar there.
Et: Kevadvihmad olid metsas hiljuti lakanud, jättes õhku niiskeks ja õitsema kaunid värvilised lilled.
En: The spring rains had recently stopped in the forest, leaving the air humid and the beautiful colorful flowers blossoming.
Et: Loodus rõkkas elust.
En: Nature was teeming with life.
Et: Tarmo istus oma telgis ja pani lauale väikesed pidupäeva kaunistused.
En: Tarmo sat in his tent and placed small birthday decorations on the table.
Et: Ta süütas väikese küünla ja asetas selle keset oma lemmik kooki, mille ta Eestist kaasa tõi.
En: He lit a small candle and placed it in the middle of his favorite cake, which he had brought from Estonia.
Et: Kõik oli täpselt nii nagu ta oli ette kujutanud — rahu ja vaikus, linnud laulsid ning puude kohin oli kui parim meloodia.
En: Everything was exactly as he had imagined — peace and quiet, birds singing, and the rustle of the trees was like the best melody.
Et: Siis aga, täpselt siis, kui ta soovis küünalt puhuma hakata, köitis tema tähelepanu midagi puude vahel.
En: But then, just as he was about to blow out the candle, something between the trees caught his attention.
Et: Seal oli vallatu ahv, kes hiilis vaikselt tema poole.
En: There was a mischievous monkey sneaking quietly towards him.
Et: Tarmo naeratas sõbralikult, kuid ahv oli kiiresti ta koogi juurde jooksnud.
En: Tarmo smiled amicably, but the monkey quickly ran to his cake.
Et: Tarmo ei suutnud arugi saada, mis juhtus, kui juba ahv kooki näpistas ja sellega kiiresti eemale lipsas.
En: Tarmo couldn't comprehend what was happening when suddenly the monkey pinched the cake and quickly dashed away with it.
Et: "Ah sina selline," naeris Tarmo ja hakkas ahvi jälitama.
En: "You rascal," laughed Tarmo and began to chase the monkey.
Et: Nii jooksid nad läbi metsaraja, üle kivide ja läbi tiheda taimestiku.
En: They ran through the forest path, over the stones, and through the dense vegetation.
Et: Ahv oli kõigist kõige vilksam, aga Tarmo ei andnud alla.
En: The monkey was the quickest of all, but Tarmo didn't give up.
Et: Naer kostis mõlemalt poolt, sest see tagaajamine oli kui lõbus mäng.
En: Laughter echoed from both sides, as this chase was like a fun game.
Et: Lõpuks, kui ahv peatus kõrgel puul ja vaatas Tarmole otsa, tõstis mees käed üles ja naeris: "Sa võitsid."
En: Finally, when the monkey stopped on a high tree and looked at Tarmo, the man raised his hands and laughed: "You won."
Et: Tarmo istus puu alla ja puhkas hinge.
En: Tarmo sat down under the tree and caught his breath.
Et: Ahv vaatas talle ülevalt, pilk uudishimulik ja sõbralik.
En: The monkey looked down at him, its gaze curious and friendly.
Et: Tarmo, mõistes, et parimad juubelid on need, mida ei planeeri, murdis koogist tükikese ja viskas selle puu alla.
En: Tarmo, realizing that the best anniversaries
