Story Transcript:

Et: Koolikell helises koridoris.
En: The school bell rang in the corridor.

Et: Maarja istus oma laua taga Tallinnas, suure Tallinna Avaliku Gümnaasiumi klassiruumis.
En: Maarja sat at her desk in Tallinn, in the classroom of the large Tallinna Avaliku Gümnaasiumi.

Et: Aknast nägi ta, kuidas puulehed muutuvad kuldpruuniks ja tuul neid õrnalt koolihoovi puhuvad.
En: From the window, she saw how the tree leaves were turning golden brown, and the wind gently blew them into the schoolyard.

Et: See oli sügis.
En: It was autumn.

Et: Maarja elas vanaemaga, sest tema vanemad töötasid välismaal.
En: Maarja lived with her grandmother because her parents worked abroad.

Et: Ta oli vaikne ja tihti tundis end üksi.
En: She was quiet and often felt lonely.

Et: Ta soovis sõpru leida ja koolis omade seas olla.
En: She wanted to make friends and feel at ease at school.

Et: Maarja teadis, et see ei ole lihtne, sest ta oli häbelik.
En: Maarja knew it wouldn't be easy because she was shy.

Et: Ühel päeval kuulis Maarja kuulutusest kooli teadetetahvlil.
En: One day, Maarja heard about an announcement on the school bulletin board.

Et: Koorikooris võeti vastu uusi liikmeid.
En: The choir was accepting new members.

Et: Maarja otsustas liituda.
En: Maarja decided to join.

Et: Laulmine võiks teda aidata uusi inimesi tundma õppida ja enda arglikkusest üle saada.
En: Singing might help her meet new people and get over her shyness.

Et: Pärast kooli läks Maarja kooriproovi.
En: After school, Maarja went to choir practice.

Et: Alguses oli ta närvis.
En: At first, she was nervous.

Et: Kuid koorijuht oli lahke ja sõbralik.
En: But the choir director was kind and friendly.

Et: Maarja leidis oma koha teiste lauljate seas.
En: Maarja found her place among the other singers.

Et: Nad laulsid koos ja Maarja hakkas end paremini ja kindlamalt tundma.
En: They sang together, and Maarja began to feel better and more confident.

Et: Sügise keskel toimus kooli sügispidu.
En: In the middle of autumn, the school held an autumn festival.

Et: See oli suur üritus.
En: It was a big event.

Et: Maarja pidi esitama soololoo koori etteastes.
En: Maarja had to perform a solo piece in the choir's performance.

Et: Närv tabas teda enne lavale minekut, kuid ta teadis, et peab oma hirmud ületama.
En: She was nervous before going on stage, but she knew she had to overcome her fears.

Et: Kui Maarja oma laulu alustas, valitses saalis vaikus.
En: When Maarja started her song, the hall was silent.

Et: Tema hääl kõlas ilusalt ja selgelt.
En: Her voice sounded beautiful and clear.

Et: Kui laul lõppes, plaksutas publik tugevalt.
En: When the song ended, the audience applauded loudly.

Et: Maarja punastas, kuid tundis rõõmu.
En: Maarja blushed but felt joy.

Et: Teda märgati.
En: She had been noticed.

Et: Pärast esinemist läks Maarja kooli sööklasse.
En: After the performance, Maarja went to the school cafeteria.

Et: Seal tulid tema juurde Juhan ja Kadri, kes olid samuti kooriliikmed.
En: There, Juhan and Kadri, who were also choir members, approached her.

Et: „Sa laulsid väga hästi!“ ütles Kadri naeratades.
En: “You sang very well!” said Kadri with a smile.

Et: Juhan lisas: „Kas soovid meiega pärast kooli ühineda?
En: Juhan added, “Would you like to join us after school?

Et: Me lähme kohvikusse.“ Maarja tundis oma südames soojust.
En: We're going to a café.” Maarja felt warmth in her heart.

Et: Ta naeratas ja nõustus nendega minema.
En: She smiled and agreed to go with them.

Et: Maarjale meeldis mõte kuuluda sellesse väiksesse sõpruskonda.
En: Maarja liked the idea of belonging to this small circle of friends.

Et: Ta oli leidnud sõbrad.
En: She had found friends.

Et: Kooli müra muutus järsku rõõmsamaks.
En: The school's noise suddenly became more joyful.

Et: Maarja teadis, et ta ei ole enam üksi.
En: Maarja knew she was no longer alone.

Et: Ta oli leidnud oma koha.
En: She had found her place.

Et: Ta oli üks nende seas.
En: She was one of them.

Et: Ta tundis kuuluvust ja õitses just nagu need sügislehed.
En: She felt a sense of belonging and thrived like those autumn leaves.

Et: Nüüd Maarja kõndis koridori Juhani ja Kadriga, teadmisest, et iga uus päev koolis tõotab midagi head.
En: Now, Maarja walked down the corridor with Juhan and Kadri, knowing that every new day at school promised something good.

Et: Sõpradega koos ei olnud enam miski sama keeruline.
En: With friends, nothing seemed as difficult anymore.
