Story Transcript:Et: Päike paistis Tallinnas, kui Kertu ja Raimo jõudsid politseijaoskonda.En: The sun was shining in Tallinn as Kertu and Raimo arrived at the police station.Et: See oli kevade lõpp ja Jaanipäev lähenes.En: It was late spring, and Jaanipäev was approaching.Et: Õhus oli kerge värske lõhn ja vanalinna sillutuskivid särasid päikese käes.En: There was a light fresh scent in the air, and the cobblestones of the old city sparkled in the sunlight.Et: Kertu avas politseijaoskonna ukse.En: Kertu opened the door to the police station.Et: Hoone oli modernne, kuid sobis hästi vanalinna ajaloolise arhitektuuriga.En: The building was modern but fit well with the historical architecture of the old town.Et: Raimo järgnes talle aeglaselt, käed taskutes ja murelik pilk silmis.En: Raimo followed her slowly, hands in his pockets and a worried look in his eyes.Et: "Noh, Raimo," ütles Kertu rahulikult.En: "Well, Raimo," said Kertu calmly.Et: "Kus sa viimati oma rahakotti nägid?"En: "Where did you last see your wallet?"Et: Raimo kratsis kukalt.En: Raimo scratched his head.Et: "Võib-olla poes?En: "Maybe in a store?Et: Või pagariäris?En: Or the bakery?Et: Ma ei mäleta.En: I don't remember.Et: Aga ma tean, et see oli meil enne, kui jalutasime Toompeale."En: But I know we had it before we walked to Toompea."Et: Kertu ohkas.En: Kertu sighed.Et: "Peame aru saama, kus me kõik käisime.En: "We need to figure out where we went.Et: Ilma rahakotita on raske Jaanipäeva pidada.En: It's hard to celebrate Jaanipäev without a wallet.Et: Sul on seal ID-kaardid ja rahad."En: You have your ID cards and money in there."Et: Nad pöördusid leti poole, kus nende ees istus politseiametnik, tõsine kuid abivalmis naine.En: They turned to the counter, where a serious yet helpful female police officer was sitting.Et: "Tere, mida te kaotasite?"En: "Hello, what did you lose?"Et: küsis ametnik.En: the officer asked.Et: "Raimo rahakott.En: "Raimo's wallet.Et: See kadus täna hommikul kuskil vanalinnas," vastas Kertu.En: It went missing this morning somewhere in the old town," replied Kertu.Et: "Annan teie andmed üles ja kui keegi toob midagi sisse, teavitame teid," ütles ametnik rahustavalt.En: "I'll take your details, and if someone turns something in, we'll notify you," the officer said reassuringly.Et: Raimo noogutas, kuid Kertu oli endiselt rahutu.En: Raimo nodded, but Kertu was still restless.Et: "Peame võib-olla ise otsima minema," sosistas ta Raimole.En: "We might need to go look ourselves," she whispered to Raimo.Et: Nad lahkusid jaama ja hakkasid taas vanalinna tänavatel ringi rändama.En: They left the station and started wandering the old town streets again.Et: Nad läksid mööda poode, kus olid käinud, ja küsisid igalt müüjalt.En: They went past the stores where they had been and asked each vendor.Et: Mitmed tundsid rahakotist kaotuse vastu kaastunnet, kuid neil polnud sel teemal uudiseid.En: Several expressed sympathy over the lost wallet, but there was no news about it.Et: Kertu süda kloppis ärevusest.En: Kertu's heart was pounding with anxiety.Et: Ometi jäi Raimo kõrval rahulikuks ja naljatles, et vähemalt on neil ilus kevadilm jalutamiseks.En: Yet, next to her, Raimo remained calm and joked that at least they had beautiful spring weather for walking.Et: Aja jooksul tõmbas Kertu sügavalt hinge ja hakkas tema kerges meeleolus kaasa minema.En: Gradually, Kertu took a deep breath and began to join in his lighthearted mood.Et: Kertu telefon helises ja ta vastas kiiresti.En: Kertu's phone rang, and she answered quickly.Et: See oli politseijaoskond.En: It was the police station.Et: "Leidsime teie varem kaotatud rahakoti.En: "We found your previously lost wallet.Et: Üks turist leidis selle ja tõi sisse," ütles sõbralik hääl.En: A tourist found it and brought it in," said a friendly voice.Et: "See on suurepärane uudis!"En: "That's great news!"Et: hüüatas Kertu.En: exclaimed Kertu.Et: Raimo piidles teda siira rõõmuga.En: Raimo gazed at her with sincere joy.Et: Nad suundusid politseijaoskonda ja võtsid kergendatult oma rahakoti.En: They headed back to the police station and retrieved the wallet with relief.Et: Päeva lõpus istusid Kertu ja Raimo vanalinna pargi pingile.En: At the end of the day, Kertu and Raimo sat on a bench in the old town park.Et: Raimo luges rahakotist ID-kaarti ja naeratas rahulolevalt.En: Raimo read his ID card from the wallet and smiled contentedly.Et: "Ma pean olema edaspidi ettevaatlikum," ütles ta.En: "I must be more careful in the future," he said.Et: "Aitäh, et sa mind aitasid."En: "Thank you for helping me."Et: Kertu mõtles hetkeks.En: Kertu thought for a moment.Et: "Ma pean õppima veidi lõdvemalt suhtuma," ütles ta peaaegu sosinal.En: "I need to learn to be a bit more relaxed," she said almost in a whisper.Et: Nad vaatasid sinist kevadtaevast ja tundsid rõõmu, et nad saavad Jaanipäeva rõõmsalt tähistada, teineteise ja väikeste õppetundidega rikkamaks saanuna.En: They looked at the blue spring sky and felt joyful that they could celebrate Jaanipäev happily, enriched by each other and small lessons learned.
