Story Transcript:
Et: Kevadpäike piilus õrnalt läbi kõrgete puude okste, valgustades Tartu Ülikooli Botaanikaaia rohelusega täidetud ala.
En: The spring sun gently peeked through the branches of the tall trees, illuminating the Tartu Ülikooli Botaanikaaia area filled with greenery.
Et: Õhk oli täidetud maapinna lõhnaga ja linnulauluga, luues rahuliku pelgupaiga linna saginast.
En: The air was filled with the scent of the earth and the songs of birds, creating a peaceful refuge from the city's hustle.
Et: Marek istus pingil, oma vihikuga, kuhu ta kirjutas märkmeid botaanikaalase uurimistöö jaoks.
En: Marek sat on a bench with his notebook, where he wrote notes for his botanical research.
Et: Ta veetis siin sageli aega, imetledes taimi ja otsides inspiratsiooni oma lõputööle.
En: He often spent time here, admiring the plants and seeking inspiration for his thesis.
Et: Seda aeda külastades tundis ta end alati rahulikuna, eemal õpikoormast.
En: Visiting this garden always made him feel at peace, away from the academic burden.
Et: Samas käesolevas kasvuhoones liikus ringi Kersti, noor aednikuhuviline, otsides ideid oma väikese koduaia rajamiseks.
En: In the same greenhouse moved Kersti, a young gardening enthusiast, searching for ideas to set up her small home garden.
Et: Ta peatus haruldase lille ees, millele olid lisatud infolehed.
En: She stopped in front of a rare flower with attached information sheets.
Et: Ta vaatas lille imetlusega, samal ajal tundes end natuke ülekoormatuna.
En: She looked at the flower with admiration, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Et: "Kui palju on veel õppida," mõtles ta endamisi.
En: "So much left to learn," she thought to herself.
Et: Kersti ahhetas vaikselt: "Kui kaunis," murdes Mareki mõtisklused.
En: Kersti quietly gasped, "How beautiful," breaking Marek's contemplation.
Et: Ta märkas, kuidas neiu uuris sildikest nagu kaaluks iga sõna.
En: He noticed how the girl examined the label as if weighing every word.
Et: See tundus võimalusena, kuid temasugusele, alati endassesulgunud Marekile polnud lihtne läheneda.
En: It seemed like an opportunity, but for someone like Marek, who was always introspective, it was not easy to approach.
Et: Marek hingas sügavalt sisse.
En: Marek took a deep breath.
Et: "See on sinilill," ütles ta vaikselt, murdes vaikust.
En: "That's a sinilill," he said quietly, breaking the silence.
Et: Kersti pöördus üllatunud pilguga tema poole.
En: Kersti turned towards him with a surprised look.
Et: "See on üsna haruldane siin piirkonnas," lisas ta veidi enesekindlamalt.
En: "It's quite rare in this area," he added with a bit more confidence.
Et: Kersti naeratas: "Ma ei teadnudki seda!
En: Kersti smiled: "I didn't know that!
Et: Kas teie teate nende taimede kohta palju?"
En: Do you know a lot about these plants?"
Et: "Ma õpin botaanikat," vastas Marek veidi muigega.
En: "I'm studying botany," Marek replied with a slight grin.
Et: "Üritan just kirjutada oma lõputööd taimedest."
En: "I'm trying to write my thesis about plants."
Et: Kersti silmad lõid särama: "Vau, kas te saaksite aidata mul oma aeda planeerida?
En: Kersti's eyes lit up: "Wow, could you help me plan my garden?
Et: Olen natuke algaja ja see info on natuke palju."
En: I'm a bit of a beginner, and this information is a bit overwhelming."
Et: Marek noogutas ja nad asusid kahekesi kasvuhooneid läbi käima, rääkides erinevatest taimedest, Kersti vajalike seemnete kohta ja kuidas luua lihtsalt hooldatav aed.
En: Marek nodded, and together they started walking through the greenhouses, talking about different plants, the seeds Kersti needed, and how to create an easily maintainable garden.
Et: Mõlemad olid leidnud kellegi, kellega jagada oma kirge.
En: They both found someone to share their passion with.
Et: Kui päikesekiired hakkasid nõrgenema, oli aeg neil lahkuda.
En: As the sun's rays began to weaken, it was time for them to leave.
Et: Nad vahetasid kontaktandmed.
En: They exchanged contact information.
Et: Marek tundis end ootamatult motiveerituna ja sotsiaalselt kindlamana.
En: Marek felt unexpectedly motivated and socially more confident.
Et: Kersti süda oli täis tänulikkust ja inspiratsiooni.
En: Kersti's heart was full of gratitude and inspiration.
Et: Nad leppisid kokku, et kohtuvad varsti uuesti.
En: They agreed to meet again soon.
Et: See kummaline koosviibimine botaanikaaias muutis Mareki ja Kersti päeva helgemaks ja nende tulevikku lootusrikkamaks.
En: This unusual meeting in the botanical garden brightened Marek's and Kersti's day and made their future seem more hopeful.
Et: Nad lahkusid, teades, et olid leidnud midagi väärtuslikku - ühise armastuse looduse vastu ja võimaluse tõeliseks sõpruseks.
En: They left knowing they had found something valuable—a shared love for nature and a chance for genuine friendship.
