Tallinnas, keset lumerohket talve, valmistusid Marek, Kaisa ja Priit saunamistrivõistluseks.
In Tallinn, in the midst of a snowy winter, Marek, Kaisa, and Priit were preparing for a sauna competition.
See oli suursündmus.
It was a grand event.
Kogu linn ootas põnevusega.
The entire city was waiting with excitement.
Marek oli innukas osalema, kuna tahtis üle kõige tõestada, et on parim saunataja kogu Tallinnas.
Marek was eager to participate because he wanted more than anything to prove that he was the best sauna-goer in all of Tallinn.
Saun, kus võistlus toimus, oli väike ja hubane.
The sauna where the competition took place was small and cozy.
Iga nurk lõhnas värske kaseviha järele.
Every corner smelled of fresh birch whisk.
Kuumus ja aur täitsid toa, õhk oli raskelt lõhnav.
Heat and steam filled the room, and the air was heavily fragrant.
Mõni hetk enne võistluse algust istus Marek pingil silmad kinni.
A few moments before the start of the competition, Marek sat on the bench with his eyes closed.
Ta keskendus.
He was focusing.
Ta mantra oli: "Ma suudan selle ära teha.
His mantra was: "I can do this.
Ma suudan."
I can."
Kuna oli iseseisvuspäev, särasid külalised saunamaja ümber, lipud lehvisid tuules.
As it was Independence Day, guests shone around the sauna house, and flags fluttered in the wind.
Kaisa ja Priit viipasid Marekile enne algust.
Kaisa and Priit waved to Marek before the start.
"Sa suudad," hüüdis Kaisa.
"You can do it," shouted Kaisa.
Priit lisas naljatledes: "Kui sa ei suuda, siis vähemalt me saame hea naeru!"
Priit added jokingly: "If you can't, at least we'll get a good laugh!"
Võistlus algas.
The competition began.
Kuumus tõusis kiiresti.
The heat rose quickly.
Aur tiirles nagu tark pilv.
Steam swirled like a wise cloud.
Kuid äkki rikkus rahu ootamatu külm tuuleiil.
But suddenly, the peace was disturbed by an unexpected cold gust of wind.
Keegi oli kogemata ukse lahti jätnud.
Someone had accidentally left the door open.
Marek raputas üllatusest pead ja tõmbas käterätikuulgalt ümber.
Marek shook his head in surprise and threw a towel around himself.
Priit hakkas naerma.
Priit started laughing.
"Marek, kas sa teed uue moetrendi?
"Marek, are you starting a new fashion trend?
Tüdrukud naeravad selle peale mitmeid päevi!"
The girls will laugh about this for days!"
Marek vaatas enda ümber.
Marek looked around.
Osalejad, kes esialgu vaevu suutsid kuumust taluda, naersid.
Participants, who initially could barely endure the heat, were laughing.
Kes oleks arvanud, et üks külm tuulehoog võiks nõnda meeli lahutada?
Who would have thought that a cold gust of wind could entertain so much?
Marek otsustas mitte taanduda.
Marek decided not to retreat.
Ta sulges silmad uuesti, keskendus ainult hingamisele.
He closed his eyes again, focusing only on his breathing.
Tema eesmärk oli vaimne vastupidavus.
His goal was mental endurance.
Saun oli täis toredaid inimesi, kes naljatlesid ja naerma ajasid, kuid Marek ei kavatsenud loobuda.
The sauna was full of lovely people who joked and made others laugh, but Marek did not intend to give up.
Võistlus kestis kauem kui arvatud.
The competition lasted longer than expected.
Üks haaval lahkusid osalejad.
One by one, the participants left.
Marek jäi istuma.
Marek remained seated.
Lõpuks kuulutas saunameister: "Me võitja on Marek!"
Finally, the sauna master announced: "Our winner is Marek!"
Seistes seal, rätik ümber õlgade, mõistis Marek midagi olulist.
Standing there, with a towel over his shoulders, Marek realized something important.
Ta ei võitnud ainult auhinda.
He hadn’t just won a prize.
Ta sai aru, et tõeline võit oli sõpradega naermine ja momendi nautimine.
He understood that the real victory was laughing with friends and enjoying the moment.
Marek naeratas ja hüüdis sõprade poole: "See oli omaette seiklus!"
Marek smiled and shouted to his friends: "This was an adventure in itself!"
Loo lõpus, kui õhtu kätte jõudis ja külalised lahkusid, seisis Marek sõprade kõrval.
At the end of the story, as evening approached and the guests departed, Marek stood beside his friends.
Kõik naersid ja tähistasid.
Everyone laughed and celebrated.
See oli talv, mis jääb meelde.
It was a winter to remember.
Kogemus oli väärt seda võitu.
The experience was worth that victory.
Saun oli ikka väike ja hubane, aga mälestused suured ja soojad.
The sauna was still small and cozy, but the memories were big and warm.
