Story Transcript:
Et: Kaarel seisis Pihlaka talu väraval, vaadates kaugemale.
En: Kaarel stood at the gate of Pihlaka farm, looking out into the distance.
Et: See oli ilus suvepäev.
En: It was a beautiful summer day.
Et: Väljad olid täis kuldset heina, ja kase mets sahises leebes tuules.
En: The fields were full of golden hay, and the birch forest rustled in the gentle breeze.
Et: Tema süda oli põnevil ja natuke kartlik.
En: His heart was excited yet a little fearful.
Et: Ta oli alati olnud vaikne ja häbelik insener, kuid nüüd oli ta taas oma sugulastega.
En: He had always been a quiet and shy engineer, but now he was once again with his relatives.
Et: Ta teadis, et selles kokkutulekus peitub võimalus leida vastuseid ammu ootavatele küsimustele.
En: He knew that this gathering held the potential to find answers to questions long awaiting.
Et: Talu hoovis kaikus laste naer ja vanainimeste mõttevahetused.
En: The courtyard echoed with children's laughter and the exchange of ideas among the elderly.
Et: Anni, tema armas tädi, seisis verandal ja kallistas kõiki hetkeks.
En: Anni, his dear aunt, stood on the porch, hugging everyone momentarily.
Et: Anni oli küll vanem ja silmadest õhkus elutarkust, kuid ta kandis alati endas nooruslikku energiat.
En: Although Anni was older, and her eyes radiated wisdom from life, she always carried a youthful energy.
Et: Mihkel, tema elavaloomuline nõbu, jooksis Kaaresle suure naeratusega vastu.
En: Mihkel, his lively cousin, ran towards Kaarel with a big smile.
Et: "Kaarel!
En: "Kaarel!
Et: Kus sa nii kaua oled olnud?"
En: Where have you been all this time?"
Et: küsis Mihkel.
En: asked Mihkel.
Et: Kaarel naeratas vaoshoitult ja vastas: "Tööl, tead ju mind."
En: Kaarel smiled reservedly and replied, "At work, you know me."
Et: Kaareli peas keerles aga teine küsimus.
En: Yet, another question was swirling in Kaarel's mind.
Et: Olles kuulnud vanavanematest ja neist räägitud lugudest, tundis ta, et nendes lugudes võib peituda vastus tema ammusele otsingule.
En: Having heard stories about his grandparents, he felt that these stories might hold the key to his long-standing search.
Et: Aga keegi ei paistnud soovivat neist rääkida.
En: But no one seemed willing to talk about them.
Et: Päeva jooksul täitus talu elu ja naeruga.
En: As the day went on, the farm was filled with life and laughter.
Et: Toit oli rikkalik ja maitserikas ja kõik naudivad hetke.
En: The food was plentiful and flavorful, and everyone enjoyed the moment.
Et: Kuid Kaarel jäi oma mõtetesse.
En: However, Kaarel remained deep in thought.
Et: Ta teadis, et peab lõpuks Anni poole pöörduma.
En: He knew he would eventually need to approach Anni.
Et: Õhtu saabudes, kui taevas muutus oranžiks ja õhk jahtus, leidis Kaarel Anni vaiksel verandat repolja.
En: As the evening arrived, the sky turned orange, and the air cooled, Kaarel found Anni quietly on the porch.
Et: Anni istus niiske, pehme tekiga ja vaatas kaugusse.
En: Anni sat with a damp, soft blanket, gazing into the distance.
Et: Oli aeg oma küsimus esitada.
En: It was time to ask his question.
Et: "Tädi Anni," alustas Kaarel ettevaatlikult, "Mul on midagi küsida."
En: "Aunt Anni," Kaarel began cautiously, "I have something to ask."
Et: Anni vaatas teda, uurides pilguga, "Mis küsimus sul on, Kaarleka?"
En: Anni looked at him, with inquisitive eyes, "What question do you have, Kaarleka?"
Et: Kaarel pööras pilgu ette, tõmmates drapi taskust vana tuhmunud foto.
En: Kaarel turned his gaze forward, drawing an old faded photo from his pocket.
Et: Seal oli tema vanaisa, kellele Kaarel nägu ei mäletanud.
En: It was of his grandfather, whose face Kaarel couldn't remember.
Et: "Kes see on?"
En: "Who is this?"
Et: küsis ta julgelt, tundes, et on astunud oma väikesest kestast välja.
En: he asked boldly, feeling as if he had stepped out of his small shell.
Et: Anni naeratas soojalt ja ütles, "Ahh, see on sinu vanaisa meie vanal talu.
En: Anni smiled warmly and said, "Ahh, that's your grandfather at our old farm.
Et: Ta oli ehe lugu rääkimas.
En: He had a real knack for storytelling.
Et: Just siin, nende samade kaskede vahel

Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
(05:36):
may have missed. Carrel saisis bishja cadalo veraval wata tesco kemola.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Carl stood at the gate of Biroca farm, looking out
into the distance.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Sei olilu suvava.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It was a beautiful summer day.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Valia Doolitai school said hena ya gosa metsa is a
slip astuls.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
The fields were full of golden hay, and the birch
forest rustled in the gentle breeze.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
De masuda ali bunaville yaratu kegortik.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
His heart was excited, yet a little fearful.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Dahlia la tr nudwaykna ya happily kin senner kudnu dooli
da das o masuku las teca.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
He had always been a quiet and shy engineer, but
now he was once again with his relatives.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Dadeades etzeleescoku do lacus pei Tubui malus lay da vastuseid
ammotawat legusi mustela.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He knew that this gathering held the potential to find
answers to questions long awaiting.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Dolo joviskaykus las tenar yavona neimes de mutta varatust.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
The courtyard echoed with children's laughter and the exchange of
ideas among the elderly.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Ainni DeMar Masteretti saisis veran dal yagailis ta skrik hetkeks.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Anni, his dear aunt, stood on the porch, hugging everyone momentarily.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I ne oli gulvanem yeesil modest u couselu dar gust
Guita goyndis alla tendas no rusiguenerguet.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Although Anni was older and her eyes radiated wisdom from life,
she always carried a youthful energy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Michel Temaela vallomolnenupu yoxis cars les sura nora tu Segavasto.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Michel, his lively cousin, ran towards Kral with a big smile.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Gorel Correl Gusanni goo la dolnout.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Where have you been all this time?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Gussi is Michel asked Michel gorel nera tas va so

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Carl smiled reservedly and replied, at work, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Me, Goreli bascuerless agadneus.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yet another question was swirling in Karl's mind.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Or lasko van ama test yene stragu luku test du
indista et nandez lukudes vi beto da vostus te mam
musselot singula.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Having heard stories about his grandparents, he felt that these
stories might hold the key to his long standing search.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Ogagegi bisnutsovi vat nee strakida.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But no one seemed willing to talk about them.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Bavayok sultei tustalu elu yenioka.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
As the day went on, the farm was filled with
life and laughter.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
To rika lik yamitsikas ya griek no di vadhetka.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
The food was plentiful and flavorful, and everyone enjoyed the
moment gudgorel ya yoma muta tes. However, Carl remained deep in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Thought badeads et pable pun.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
He knew he would eventually need to approach unge.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Uf tudes guidayavas mutus oranjiks yu kiahtus ladies carel a

Speaker 3 (09:16):
As the evening arrived, the sky turned orange and the
air cooled, Carl found Ony quietly on the porch.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Im nistus niske pe mede gika yavat doasc.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Guse Anni sat with a damp soft blanket, gazing into
the distance.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
O lia goma gusi musa.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It was time to ask his question.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Daddy ni alos task mulon mitakusita.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Aunt Anny, Carl began cautiously, I have something to ask.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I nevatas tda uridespilcuka miscusi mussulon.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Carleka Anni looked at him with inquisitive eyes. What question
do you have, carleca.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Carel perras bilguerta del matestrapidas gustoona do munutfoto.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Carl turned his gaze forward, drawing an old faded photo
from his pocket, se de.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Ma one eyes a gelle le carrel nague malnut.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
It was of his grandfather, whose face Caral couldn't remember.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Guisson, who is this guisi is teul gelt dondes e
donost do movay kissest giestastelia.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
He asked boldly, feeling as if he had stepped out
of his small shell.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Im ninaarata so altes oh seon sinovan eyesa meyevan altallo.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Anni smiled warmly and said, Ah, that's your grandfather at
our old farm, darli hello g regimos. He had a
real knack for storytelling.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You've seen nandeza ama de gasque de vail are eusta

Speaker 1 (11:10):

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Her voice softened, creating a wave of memories.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Tarakiscoli la loo guidas vuana is a olinoruses julka yoni stav.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
She told Carrel the story of how his grandfather was
bold and dreamful in his.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Youth guidhasta aliarmastaudotus yola tiunistautsuras seclusest.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
How he loved nature and always dreamed of a great adventure.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Anni utustvaa bel murudus kuimeno TuS viste dada cosi von

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Anio voice occasionally broke as the reminiscence brought her back
to memories of past times.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Set veran da la mali tutt ol dais Armastus johann dust.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
The picture painted that evening on the porch was full
of love and connection.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Guiaen ni le puk slapetas muists carel etzalatus eol nut Gamar.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
When Anni finally finished, Carl realized that the secret wasn't
murky at all.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Se Olizoyus Malastus said Johandus minavi Cuka.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
It was warmth, memories and a connection to the past.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Carel saida tikuks et dem o Grtu said olikoto nut.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Carl became aware that his fears had vanished De.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Madred pida nemail masis olidmay ox minevi cuco dognase gusta

Speaker 3 (12:50):
His steps into Ani's world had opened a window to
the past through which he found clarity and perhaps peace.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Aduindi sendro keemda to do mayura yolivol missola moroingiscol.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
He felt more connected to his roots and was ready
to be more present in his family circle.
Speaker 1 (13:11):

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Bilka farm had become a living place for his soul,
not just a part of a family saga.
Speaker 1 (13:25):

Speaker 3 (13:30):
And so Carl was truly home.
