Tallinna Lastekodus, kus karget sügisõhku kaunistavad puudelt langevad lehed, valitseb elevus.

There is excitement at the Tallinna Lastekodus (Tallinn Children's Home), where the chilly autumn air is adorned with leaves falling from the trees.

Maarja, tütarlaps, keda teised lapsed hellitavalt oma suureks õeks kutsuvad, on muretsenud hingematvat köha.

Maarja, a girl whom the other children affectionately call their big sister, has developed a heart-wrenching cough.

Ent ta unistused ei lase tal vajuda kurbusesse.

Yet, her dreams don't allow her to sink into sadness.

Ta tahab korraldada suurepärase Halloweeni peo, et rõõmustada väikseid sõpru.

She wants to organize a magnificent Halloween party to cheer up her little friends.

Maarja kõnnib vaikselt mööda lastekodu vanu koridore.

Maarja walks quietly through the old corridors of the children's home.

Ta pilk libiseb värvikatele piltidele, mis katta seinu nagu salajased lood.

Her gaze glides over the colorful pictures that cover the walls like secret stories.

Laste naerukõmin seguneb kaugelt köögist tuleva kaneelilõhnaga.

The children's laughter mingles with the scent of cinnamon wafting from the kitchen in the distance.

See kõik oleks täiuslik, kui vaid see köha teda ei takistaks.

Everything would be perfect, if only this cough weren't holding her back.

Toomas, lastekodu hooliv kasvataja, kõnnib Maarjale vastu.

Toomas, the caring caretaker of the children's home, walks towards Maarja.

"Kallis Maarja, sa oled täna kahvatu.

"Dear Maarja, you look pale today.

On kõik korras?"

Is everything all right?"

küsib Toomas heatahtlikult.

Toomas asks kindly.

Maarja naeratab nõrgalt.

Maarja smiles weakly.

"Ma tahan, et lastel oleks tore Halloween," sosistab ta.

"I want the children to have a wonderful Halloween," she whispers.

Teadmata, kas ta saab sellega hakkama, sest jõud hakkab raugeda.

Uncertain whether she will manage, as her strength is beginning to wane.

Kuid ta otsustab siiski, et ei anna alla.

But she decides nonetheless that she will not give up.

Maarja hakkab koguma vanu kangaid ja kartongijuppe, mida lastekodus on küllaldaselt.

Maarja starts gathering old fabrics and pieces of cardboard, of which there is plenty in the children's home.

Ta lõikab väikseid nõidamütse ja valmistab paberist laternaid.

She cuts out small witch hats and makes paper lanterns.

Maarja unustab end tööle niivõrd, et köha läheb ajutiselt meelest.

Maarja gets so engrossed in her work that she temporarily forgets her cough.

Peoõhtul on tuba suminat täis.

On the evening of the party, the room is filled with chatter.

Lapsed on elevil, nende kostüümidki näpuotsatäis maagilisi.

The children are excited, and their costumes are a pinch of magical.

Maarja seisab nende keskel, imetledes loodu ilu.

Maarja stands among them, admiring the beauty she has created.

Korraga aga tunneb ta, kuidas maailm tema ümber pöörlema hakkab.

Suddenly, however, she feels the world around her starting to spin.

Jõuetuse tunne muutub tugevamaks ja ta on sunnitud toetuma lähima tooli külge.

The feeling of weakness grows stronger, and she is forced to lean on the nearest chair.

Toomas märkab Maarja õpitud rahulikkusega, astub tema juurde ja küsib pehmelt: "Maarja, mis juhtus?"

Toomas notices with learned calmness, steps up to her, and asks softly, "Maarja, what happened?"

Tüdruk tunneb, et ta peab saladuse jagama.

The girl feels she must share her secret.

Ta tunnistab oma muret tervise pärast.

She admits her concern about her health.

Toomas ei kõhkle hetkekski.

Toomas does not hesitate for a moment.

"Ma kutsun kohe arsti.

"I will call the doctor right away.

Kõik saab korda," lausub ta rahulikult.

Everything will be fine," he says calmly.

Ja tõepoolest, hiljem tuleb arst ja uurib Maarjat.

And indeed, later the doctor comes and examines Maarja.

Tüdrukule määratakse ravi, mille peale ta naeratab kergendusega.

The girl is prescribed treatment, which makes her smile with relief.

Peoõhtu jätkub ja Toomas on võtnud Maarja ülesanded enda kanda.

The party evening continues, and Toomas has taken over Maarja's tasks.

Laste nägudel peegelduvad õnn ja naer, mida Maarja oli nii väga tahtnud näha.

The children's faces reflect the joy and laughter that Maarja had so dearly wanted to see.

Ta istub diivaninurgal, vaatab rõõmsalt väikest rahvahulka ja tunneb, et tema jõupingutused on lõpptulemusena kandnud vilja.

She sits in the corner of the sofa, happily watching the little crowd, and feels that her efforts have ultimately borne fruit.

Maarja mõistab lõpuks, kui oluline on vahel abi paluda.

Maarja finally understands how important it is sometimes to ask for help.

Ainult üheskoos saavad nad luua midagi tõeliselt imelist.

Only together can they create something truly wonderful.

Ja see teadmine toob Maarjale südamepoolse rahu.

And this realization brings Maarja peace of heart.

Halloween Tallinna Lastekodus jääb meelde õhtu, mil Maarja leidis uue kinda tugevaima ning armastust täis perena.

Halloween at the Tallinna Lastekodus will be remembered as the evening when Maarja found a new kind of strength and a family full of love.
