Aasaluka raba kattis kerge uduloor.

Aasaluka bog was covered by a light veil of mist.

Sügis tõi kaasa kargete värvide mängu - puude paljad oksad tõusid taeva poole, samal ajal kui maa kattus jõhvikate ja seente rikka punase ja pruuni varjundiga.

Autumn brought with it a play of crisp colors - the bare branches of the trees rose toward the sky, while the ground was covered with the rich red and brown shades of cranberries and fungi.

Kert, nooruslik ja elujanuline, astus aeglaselt läbi märja mätta, tema kummikutest jäid maha jäljed nagu vaiksed sõnad.

Kert, youthful and full of life, walked slowly through the wet tussock, leaving tracks from his boots like quiet words.

Ta silmad ekslesid metsaservale, kus jõhvikad sillerdasid salakavalalt.

His eyes wandered to the edge of the forest, where cranberries sparkled slyly.

"Vaata ette, Kert!" hüüdis Liisi tema taga, hoolitsedes, et tema korv oleks õigesti paigutatud.

"Watch out, Kert!" called Liisi from behind him, making sure her basket was properly placed.

Kõik pidi sujuma nagu plaanitud, ja Liisi ei talunud vigu.

Everything had to go as planned, and Liisi could not tolerate mistakes.

Kert naeratas ja viipas talle naeruga, kuigi sügaval hinges tundis ta muret.

Kert smiled and waved her off with laughter, although deep down, he felt worried.

Raivo istus läheduses vana kändu peal. Ta jälgis noori oma aruka pilguga.

Raivo sat nearby on an old stump, watching the young ones with a wise gaze.

Tema jaoks oli oluline, et traditsioonid ei ununeks, et noored austaksid nende esivanemate tarkust ja raba ilu.

For him, it was important that traditions were not forgotten, that the young respected their ancestors' wisdom and the beauty of the bog.

"Jõhvikad saame kergesti," ütles Raivo.

"We can get the cranberries easily," said Raivo.

"Aga kas sa mäletad, kuidas vanasti neid koguti? Igal helinal oli oma koht."

"But do you remember how they were collected in the old days? Every sound had its place."

Kert noogutas, kuid tema mõtted uitasid kaugele.

Kert nodded, but his thoughts wandered far.

Kas jääda Aasaluka väikesse külasse või avastada laia maailma, see küsimus vaevas teda üha enam.

Whether to stay in the small village of Aasaluka or explore the wide world, this question troubled him more and more.

"Hoidke parem silmad lahti," ütles Liisi, hoiatavalt ringi vaadates.

"Better keep your eyes open," said Liisi, looking around warningly.

"See raba on libe."

"This bog is slippery."

Kert hakkas korjama, mõtted segased, kuid kogenud liigutused peatasid tema mured.

Kert began picking, his thoughts confused, but the experienced movements calmed his worries.

Aga siis ta leidis midagi kummalist - suures varjulises sopis said jõhvikad musta tolmu kaetud, nagu linik reetlik prügila.

But then he found something strange - in a large shaded nook, the cranberries were covered in black dust, like a linen cloth from a deceitful landfill.

Ta peatus, täielikult ära võetud vaatepildist.

He stopped, completely taken aback by the sight.

Mõttetud küved raputasid rahuotsijana tema usku teadmatult.

The meaningless slopes shook his faith unknowingly as a seeker of peace.

"See pole looduslik," mõtles Kert.

"This is not natural," Kert thought.

Raivo tuli tema juurde, vaadates läbi oma kogemuste ingli.

Raivo came to him, watching through the lens of his experience.

"Meie kohus on raba hoida," kuulis Kert tema kõnelemas, ja see oli kui kutse.

"It is our duty to protect the bog," Kert heard him say, and it was like a call.

Samas hakkas Kert mõistma, et lahkub alles siis, kui on kindel, et see, mida ta maha jätab, on terve maailm, mitte katki pesa.

At the same time, Kert began to understand that he would leave only when he was sure that what he left behind was a whole world, not a broken nest.

Tema süda rahunes ja ta korjas edasi, otsides tasakaalu traditsiooni ja tuleviku vahel.

His heart calmed, and he continued picking, seeking a balance between tradition and the future.

Sügise õhtu laskus raba peale, Kerti kõrval seisis Liisi, kelle korv oli täis.

The autumn evening descended upon the bog, and Liisi stood beside Kert, her basket full.

Kert kinnitas endale, et aeg on pühendada oma jõupingutused raba kaitsmisele, sest halb maailm ei olnud see, mida ta pärandada tahab.

Kert assured himself that it was time to dedicate his efforts to protecting the bog because a bad world was not what he wanted to pass on.

"Me peame hoolitsema selle paiga eest," ütles Kert Liisile, kes noogutas tema kõrval, jagades ühist mõistmist.

"We must take care of this place," Kert said to Liisi, who nodded beside him, sharing a common understanding.

Raivo vaatas üle nende, öeldes vaikselt: "Mäletage oma juuri, mäletage pilti."

Raivo looked over them, saying quietly, "Remember your roots, remember the image."

Kert mõistis, et kasvada saab ka juurtega.

Kert understood that one can grow with roots too.

Ja nii jäi ta, et kaitsta Aasaluka raba - kodu, mille tähendust oli ta just avastanud.

And so he stayed, to protect the Aasaluka bog - a home whose meaning he had just discovered.
