Tallinna Startup Inkubaatoris käis vilgas töö.

There was bustling activity at the Tallinna Startup Incubator.

Kõikjal olid arvutid, projektorid ja kirevad postrid.

Computers, projectors, and colorful posters were everywhere.

Väljas sadas tihedat lund, peites tänavad lumemütsi alla.

Outside, heavy snow was falling, covering the streets with a layer of snow.

Maarja ja Kalev istusid oma väikese laua taga.

Maarja and Kalev sat behind their small table.

Maarja oli ärevil.

Maarja was anxious.

"Meie app peab enne jõule investoritele meeldima," ütles ta kindlalt.

"Our app has to appeal to investors before Christmas," she said confidently.

Kalev noogutas, kuigi tema pilk oli mõtlik.

Kalev nodded, although his gaze was thoughtful.

"Aga ilmateade lubab suurt lumesadu.

"But the weather forecast promises heavy snowfall.

Võib-olla peaksime plaani muutma," pakkus ta ettevaatlikult.

Maybe we should change our plans," he suggested cautiously.

Maarja raputas pead.

Maarja shook her head.

"Me peame neile näitama, et oleme pühendunud.

"We need to show them that we are committed.

Ma tean, et sa suudad tehnilise osa juhtida."

I know you can manage the technical part."

Järsku sadas akna taga veelgi tihedamalt.

Suddenly, the snow outside the window became even thicker.

Linn tardus.

The city came to a standstill.

Kõik lennud tühistati, rongid seisid, autod liikusid vaevaliselt.

All flights were canceled, trains stopped, and cars moved with difficulty.

Maarja otsis kiiresti lahendust.

Maarja quickly sought a solution.

"Me saame kasutada videokonverentsi.

"We can use video conferencing.

Aga kuidas me Tallinnast välja saame?"

But how do we get out of Tallinn?"

mõtles ta valjusti.

she thought out loud.

Kalev kontrollis oma telefoni.

Kalev checked his phone.

"Ma vaatan busse ja ronge.

"I'll check buses and trains.

Äkki saame siiski kuidagi liikuda," ütles ta.

Maybe we can still find a way to move," he said.

Maarja hakkas välkkiirelt tehnilisi seadmeid seadistama.

Maarja began swiftly setting up the technical equipment.

Aga alustamine ei olnud kerge.

But starting up wasn't easy.

Kõik hakkas tõrkuma.

Everything began to malfunction.

Helipilt kadus, video hangus.

The sound disappeared, the video froze.

"Ma ei suuda!"

"I can't do it!"

ütles Maarja meeleheitlikult.

Maarja said desperately.

Kuid ta kogus oma jõu.

But she gathered her strength.

"Pean proovima," pomises ta lõpuks.

"I have to try," she finally muttered.

Tundus, et õnn lõi kaasa.

It seemed fortune favored them.

Maarjal õnnestus tehnika korda saada.

Maarja managed to get the technology working.

Ta alustas esitlusega, kuigi käed värisesid pisut.

She began the presentation, though her hands trembled slightly.

Kalev jõudis samal ajal teatega.

Meanwhile, Kalev received some news.

"Lund lükkavad traktorid saatsid teate, et nad on teel.

"Snowplow tractors sent a message that they are on the way.

Buss peaks varsti liikuma."

The bus should start moving soon."

Maarja rääkis kirglikult oma ideest.

Maarja spoke passionately about her idea.

Investorid ekraanide taga kuulasid hoolega.

The investors behind the screens listened intently.

Küsimused tulid järjepanu.

Questions came one after another.

Maarja vastas enesekindlalt, iga sõna kaalutletud.

Maarja answered confidently, every word carefully considered.

Kalev jälgis Maarjat ja teadis, et nad saavad hakkama.

Kalev watched Maarja and knew they would succeed.

Lõpuks naeratasid investorid ja plaksutasid.

Finally, the investors smiled and applauded.

Koos said nad esitluse ära lõpetatud.

Together, they completed the presentation.

Paar päeva hiljem tuli meilisõnum.

A few days later, an email arrived.

Nad olid saanud vajalikud investeeringud.

They had secured the needed investments.

Maarja vaatas Kalevit ja öeldi: "Aitäh, et mind toetasid."

Maarja looked at Kalev and said, "Thank you for supporting me."

Nad istusid väsinud, kuid rahulolevatena, vaatasid lumesadu ja teadsid, et selles jõulupühade eel on neil väärtuslik kingitus - koostöö ja sõprus.

They sat tired but satisfied, watched the snowfall, and knew that before this Christmas holiday, they had a valuable gift — collaboration and friendship.
