Eestis oli imeilus talvine hommik.

In Estonia, it was a wonderfully beautiful winter morning.

Maarja, särasilmne graafiline disainer Tallinnast, istus autorooli ja vaatas läbi tuuleklaasi lumist maad.

Maarja, a bright-eyed graphic designer from Tallinn, sat behind the wheel and gazed through the windshield at the snowy land.

Tema kõrval istus Eero, tema parim sõber, kes armastas rääkimist vanadest Eesti muinasjuttudest.

Beside her sat Eero, her best friend, who loved talking about old Estonian fairy tales.

“Näe, Maarja, kas sa tead lugu Külmataadist?” küsis Eero, kui nad möödusid lumiste kuuskede ridadest.

"Look, Maarja, do you know the story of Külmataat?"

“Jah, aga seekord keskendume minu projektile,” vastas Maarja naeratades.

asked Eero as they passed rows of snowy spruce trees.

Ta oli teel maale, et pildistada kauneid talvemaastikke oma uue projekti jaoks.

“Yes, but this time let's focus on my project,” replied Maarja with a smile.

Samal ajal, teise auto soojas embuses, istus Sander, kirjandusprofessor.

She was on her way to the countryside to photograph beautiful winter landscapes for her new project.

Ta otsustas pidada pausi oma argielust ja nautida Eesti loodust.

Meanwhile, in the cozy embrace of another car, sat Sander, a literature professor.

Sander vaatas vaikides, kuidas teed jäätusid.

He decided to take a break from his daily life and enjoy Estonian nature.

Taju tema ümber vaiksus ja ilu.

Sander silently watched as the roads iced over, absorbing the silence and beauty around him.

Korra haakusid Maarja ja Sandri teed, kui mõlemad pidid peatuma, et libedatel teedel arutada, mida edasi teha.

Maarja and Sander's paths briefly crossed when both had to stop to discuss what to do next on the slippery roads.

"Ahoi," tervitas Eero rõõmsalt, kui nad Sanderiga kohtusid.

"Ahoy," greeted Eero cheerfully when they met Sander.

"Kas me istume siin talvemuinasjutul?"

"Are we sitting in a winter fairy tale here?"

Maarja naeris ja vaatas Sandrisse: "Kas teil on mingeid ideid, kuidas edasi minna?"

Maarja laughed and looked at Sander, "Do you have any ideas on how to proceed?"

"Näib, et peame otsima teist teed.

"It seems we need to find another road.

Võib-olla võiksime lihtsalt uurida, mida see talu siin pakub," pakkus Sander ettevaatlikult.

Maybe we could just explore what this farm here offers," suggested Sander cautiously.

Nad otsustasid võtta kõrvaltee, mis viis neid väikesesse ja hubasesse külakesse.

They decided to take a side road that led them to a small and cozy village.

Majade katused olid lumega kattunud ja õues kõlas jalgade krudin.

The roofs of the houses were covered in snow, and the crunch of footsteps echoed outdoors.

Maarja hakkas kohe oma kaameraga hetki jäädvustama.

Maarja immediately began capturing moments with her camera.

Just siis, kui päike hakkas loojuma, tekkis talustumise taevas põhjavalgust.

Just as the sun began to set, the sky above the farmstead displayed the northern lights.

Maarja ja Sander seadsid end jalutuskäigule, lummatud värvidest, mis mänglesid lumistel põldudel.

Maarja and Sander set off on a walk, enchanted by the colors playing on the snowy fields.

“Võib-olla pole see pilt, mida ma algul otsisin, aga see on midagi palju enamat,” sosistas Maarja kergelt rõhutades rõõmu.

“Maybe this isn't the picture I was initially searching for, but it's something much more,” whispered Maarja, emphasizing the joy.

Sander, kes oli harjunud oma elu kindla käsikirjaga elama, tundis, et ka tema muinasjutulise teekonna tõeline võlu polegi eesmärk, vaid need hetked ja inimesed, kellega jagada seda.

Sander, who was accustomed to living his life with a clear script, felt that the true magic of his fairytale journey was not the goal, but the moments and people with whom to share it.

Nad langetasid otsuse koos teekonda jätkata.

They decided to continue the journey together.

Maarja leidis inspiratsiooni nii maastikes kui ka Sanderi vaikuses.

Maarja found inspiration in both the landscapes and Sander's silence.

Sander avas end aga, lastes Maarjal ja Eerol oma maailma rikkamaks muuta.

Sander opened up, letting Maarja and Eero enrich his world.

Nad jätkasid sõitu, mille käigus Maarja õppis hindama teekonda ennast.

They continued their drive, during which Maarja learned to appreciate the journey itself.

Ja Sander - tema lasi elul ja inimestel end üllatada.

And Sander—he allowed life and people to surprise him.

Talvine Eesti maastik sai nende uueks koduks ja iga kurv oli seiklus.

The wintry Estonian landscape became their new home, and every curve was an adventure.
