Kalevi süda kloppis elevusest, kui ta kõndis mööda kitsast rada, mis lookles läbi Soomaa rahvuspargi tihedate metsade.

Kalev's heart was pounding with excitement as he walked along the narrow trail that snaked through the dense forests of Soomaa rahvuspark (national park).

Sügisene mets ise laulis värviküllast sügishümni: punased, kuldsed ja rohelised lehed sahisesid tuules, luues imelise värvimuusika.

The autumn forest itself sang a colorful autumn hymn: red, gold, and green leaves rustled in the wind, creating a wonderful symphony of colors.

Maarika ja Joosep järgisid tema samme, nende seljakotid pahkluude kohal rippumas.

Maarika and Joosep followed in his footsteps, their backpacks hanging just above their ankles.

Maarika vaatas murelikult Kalevit.

Maarika looked at Kalev with concern.

Ta teadis, kui entusiastlik Kalev oli, kuid tema sõber ei pööranud kunagi piisavalt tähelepanu võimalikele ohtudele.

She knew how enthusiastic Kalev was, but her friend never paid enough attention to potential dangers.

"Kalev, kas sa oled kindel, et me seda rada järgime? On juba hilissügis, võib tulla ootamatuid üllatusi," küsis Maarika ettevaatlikult.

"Kalev, are you sure we should follow this trail? It's already late autumn, unexpected surprises might come," Maarika asked cautiously.

Kalev pöördus naeratades.

Kalev turned with a smile.

"Maarika, ära muretse! Me oleme hästi ette valmistatud.

"Maarika, don't worry! We are well prepared.

Joosep tunneb taimi paremini kui keegi teine.

Joosep knows plants better than anyone else.

Me ei saa hätta jääda," kinnitas ta.

We can't get into trouble," he assured.

Joosep, kes tavaliselt palju ei rääkinud, noogutas kindlameelselt.

Joosep, who usually didn't speak much, nodded firmly.

"Jah, me oleme ettevaatlikud," kinnitas ta, vaadates huviga ümbrust.

"Yes, we are careful," he confirmed, looking around with interest.

Kuid hetk hiljem juhtus midagi ootamatut.

But a moment later, something unexpected happened.

Kalev kiljatas valu pärast, kui mesilasemürk tungis tema nahka.

Kalev yelped in pain as bee venom penetrated his skin.

Ta haaras meeleheitlikult oma kaelast, kust oli ehmatava kiirusega ärganud äge valu.

He grabbed frantically at his neck, where a fierce pain had awoken with startling speed.

Maarika hüppas kohe Kalevi poole.

Maarika immediately jumped towards Kalev.

"Kalev, sul on allergiline reaktsioon!" lausus ta kiirelt, tundes tema pulssi, mis muutus üha kiiremaks.

"Kalev, you're having an allergic reaction!" she said quickly, feeling his pulse, which was becoming faster.

"Peame abi saama!"

"We need to get help!"

Kalev köhatas, hingamine muutus raskemaks.

Kalev coughed, his breathing becoming more difficult.

"Ei... me peame jätkama... ma tahan... lõpule viia... matka..." sõnas ta vaevaliselt, püüdes hambad ristis valu taluda.

"No... we must continue... I want... to finish... the hike..." he said with difficulty, trying to endure the pain through gritted teeth.

Joosep astus lähemale, vaatledes hoolikalt ümbrust.

Joosep stepped closer, carefully observing the surroundings.

"Võib-olla leian taime, mis aitab," pakkus ta.

"Maybe I can find a plant that will help," he suggested.

Maarika teadis, et nad peavad Kalevit kiiresti abistama, kuid Joosepi rahulikkus andis talle lootust.

Maarika knew they had to help Kalev quickly, but Joosep's calmness gave her hope.

"Palun, Kalev, see on ohtlik," palus Maarika pisaratega võideldes.

"Please, Kalev, this is dangerous," beseeched Maarika, fighting back tears.

"Me peame sinuga rangerijaama minema."

"We need to go to the ranger station with you."

Kalev hingas sügavalt, nägi enda peegeldust Maarika mures silmades ja noogutas raskelt.

Kalev took a deep breath, saw his reflection in Maarika's concerned eyes, and nodded heavily.

Nad alustasid Wegime koja poole tagasi kõndimist, Kalev Maarikale toeks.

They started walking back towards the ranger station, with Kalev leaning on Maarika for support.

Vahepeal leidis Joosep kaksamisel ühe taime, mida ta teadis rahvameditsiinis kasutataviks allergiliste reaktsioonide leevendamiseks.

Meanwhile, Joosep found a plant known in folk medicine for alleviating allergic reactions.

Ta valmistas kiiresti lihtsa pastataolise segu ja kandis selle Kalevi nõelamispiirkonnale.

He quickly made a simple paste-like mixture and applied it to Kalev's sting area.

Aeglaselt, tüütult aeglaselt, hakkas turse alanema.

Slowly, painfully slowly, the swelling began to subside.

Nad kiirendasid sammu.

They quickened their pace.

Lõpuks jõudsid nad rangerijaama, kus kiire arstiabi ootas, mähkides Kalevit hellakechiga.

Finally, they reached the ranger station, where quick medical aid was waiting, wrapping Kalev gently in care.

Kalev lebas kurnatult ja vaatas tunnustavalt oma sõpradele otsa.

Kalev lay exhausted and looked gratefully at his friends.

"Te päästsite mu elu," ütles ta vaikselt.

"You saved my life," he said quietly.

"Ma mõistsin nüüd, et mõnikord on ettevaatus parim asi."

"I realize now that sometimes caution is the best thing."

Maarika ohkas kergendatult ja pilgutas sõbralikult Joosepile.

Maarika sighed in relief and winked warmly at Joosep.

Nad olid matkanud koos südametõelise seikluse, ja Kalev tundis, et tõeline looduselamuse võti peitub just selles, kelle kõrval sa kogemust läbi elad.

They had hiked together through a heartful adventure, and Kalev felt that the true essence of a nature experience lies in who you share the journey with.
