Story Transcript:
Et: Haigusmaja oli talvises rahus.
En: The hospital was at peace in its winter quiet.
Et: Tuhked lumehelbed sadasid lakkamatult, kattes linna õrna valge vaibaga.
En: Ashy snowflakes fell incessantly, covering the city with a gentle white blanket.
Et: Haigla koridorid helkisid jõulukaunistustes: hõbeniitides jõulutuled ja punased pärjad andsid jaotustele veidi kodust soojust.
En: The hospital corridors sparkled with Christmas decorations: Christmas lights on silver threads and red wreaths brought a touch of homely warmth to the wards.
Et: Mihkel astus haiglasse sisse, õrnalt närvis ja kergelt põnevil.
En: Mihkel entered the hospital, slightly nervous and a bit excited.
Et: Ta polnud Toomast näinud sellest ajast, kui sõber vigastusega haiglasse sattus.
En: He hadn't seen Toomas since his friend ended up in the hospital with an injury.
Et: Panemas oma tööle tihti suuremat rõhku, otsustas Mihkel oma isiklikel suhetel rohkem aega pühendada.
En: Often prioritizing his work, Mihkel decided to dedicate more time to his personal relationships.
Et: See oli tema uusaastalubadus.
En: It was his New Year's resolution.
Et: Liis aga oli juba kohal.
En: Liis was already there.
Et: Ta istus Toomase voodi kõrval, rääkides elavalt, kuidas tema pere jõuludeks valmistus.
En: She sat by Toomas's bed, talking animatedly about how her family was preparing for Christmas.
Et: Kui Mihkel sisse astus, naeratas ta soojalt: "Tere, Mihkel!
En: When Mihkel walked in, she smiled warmly: "Hello, Mihkel!
Et: Rõõm sind näha.
En: Good to see you.
Et: Tule, istu meiega!"
En: Come, sit with us!"
Et: "Mulle meeldib siin käia," vastas Mihkel, kergelt muheledes, samal ajal, kui ta võttis istekoha.
En: "I like coming here," Mihkel replied, with a slight grin, as he took a seat.
Et: "Toomas, kuidas siis on?"
En: "Toomas, how are you doing?"
Et: Toomas naeratas: "Läheb paremaks.
En: Toomas smiled: "Getting better.
Et: Sa paned mind tahtma kiiremini terveks saada, et saaksime jälle kelgutada, nagu vanasti."
En: You make me want to get well faster so we can go sledding like we used to."
Et: Kõik naersid.
En: Everyone laughed.
Et: Aeg möödus kiiresti, ja iga kord, kui Mihkel tagasi tuli, oli Liisil alati lugu rääkida.
En: Time passed quickly, and every time Mihkel came back, Liis always had a story to tell.
Et: Talle meeldis, kuidas Liis temaga rääkis.
En: He liked how Liis talked to him.
Et: Ta hakkas end rohkem avama, tunnistades, et peab oma elus prioriteete kohendama.
En: He began to open up more, admitting he needed to adjust his priorities in life.
Et: Liisile meeldis kuulda, kuidas Mihkel oma tunnetest rääkis, ja nad said kiiresti tuttavaks.
En: Liis enjoyed hearing Mihkel talk about his feelings, and they quickly got acquainted.
Et: Ühel õhtul, kui laskus paks lumi, jäi Liis haiglasse hilja.
En: One evening, when thick snow was falling, Liis stayed late at the hospital.
Et: Mihkel oli just lõpetamas oma külastuse, kui märkas teda aknast välja vaatamas, mure oma näos.
En: Mihkel was just finishing his visit when he noticed her looking out the window, worry on her face.
Et: "Miks sa mures oled, Liis?"
En: "Why are you worried, Liis?"
Et: küsis Mihkel.
En: asked Mihkel.
Et: "Ma ei saa sõita.
