Maarika astus ettevaatlikult laborisse, hoides kindlalt käes taskulampi.

Maarika stepped cautiously into the lab, holding a flashlight firmly in her hand.

Sügisene tuul ulgus väljaspool akende taga.

The autumn wind howled outside the windows.

Kerge külmavärin jooksis üle tema selja.

A slight shiver ran down her back.

"Siin see on," sosistas ta.

"Here it is," she whispered.

Kalev ja Liis järgnesid talle vaikselt.

Kalev and Liis followed her quietly.

Labor oli täis vilkuvaid tulesid ja keerukaid masinaid, mis tegid tasaseid surinaid.

The lab was filled with flickering lights and complex machines that made gentle buzzing sounds.

Aga just seal kusagil pidi olema seadeldis, mida nad otsisid.

But somewhere there had to be the device they were looking for.

Seadeldis, mis teeks maailma parimat kuuma šokolaadi.

A device that would make the world's best hot chocolate.

"Kas see on ikka hea mõte?" küsis Kalev ettevaatlikult.

"Is this really a good idea?" Kalev asked cautiously.

"Me ei tohi jääda vahele."

"We can't get caught."

"Me peame nägema, kuidas see töötab," vastas Maarika, tema hääl oli täis uudishimu.

"We have to see how it works," Maarika replied, her voice full of curiosity.

"See on väidetavalt nii hea šokolaad."

"It's supposedly such a good chocolate."

Liis naeris vaikselt.

Liis chuckled softly.

"Jah, ja võib-olla leian ma siit ka midagi põnevat enda jaoks."

"Yes, and maybe I'll find something exciting here for myself."

Nad liikusid mööda kitsast koridori, kui äkki Maarika käsi midagi kogemata puudutas.

They moved along a narrow corridor when suddenly Maarika's hand accidentally touched something.

Üks masin hakkas tasapisi ärkama, vaikseid hääli tehes.

A machine began to wake slowly, making gentle sounds.

"Mis see on?" küsis Maarika, tõmbas tagasi.

"What is that?" Maarika asked, pulling back.

Sealtmasinast kerkis kõrgele robot, tema metallküljed kiiskasid laboris valgustatud ruumis.

From that machine rose a tall robot, its metallic sides gleaming in the lab's illuminated room.

"Tere," ütles robot naljakal toonil, mis pani Liisi lõkerdama.

"Hello," said the robot in a funny tone, which made Liis burst into laughter.

"Teie teenistuses!"

"At your service!"

"Me ei taha probleemi," sosistas Kalev, jälgides roboti liikumist.

"We don't want trouble," Kalev whispered, watching the robot's movements.

Maarika viipas sõrmega suu lähedal, paludes vaikust.

Maarika gestured with a finger near her mouth, requesting silence.

Robot sumises ringi ja hakkas ootamatult ruumi täitma väikeste valgete pehmete asjadega.

The robot buzzed around, and unexpectedly began filling the room with small white fluffy things.

"Mis need on?" hüüdis Liis üllatunult.

"What are those?" Liis exclaimed in surprise.

"Vahukommid!" naeratas Maarika laialdaselt.

"Marshmallows!" Maarika smiled widely.

„Kuidas me selle peatame?!“ muretses Kalev, libisedes peaaegu üle põranda katva kihi.

"How do we stop this?!" worried Kalev, nearly slipping over the layer covering the floor.

„Peame selle välja lülitama,“ vastas Maarika ja tungis roboti juhtpaneelidega lähemale.

"We have to turn it off," Maarika replied and approached the robot's control panels.

Liis hakkas naljatlevalt vahukommi sööma.

Liis started jokingly eating a marshmallow.

"Mmm, marshmallow!” ütles ta rõõmsalt.

"Mmm, marshmallow!" she said happily.

Maarika pöördus ümber.

Maarika turned around.

Ta tulistas lihtsa plaani.

She quickly devised a simple plan.

„Anname talle vahukomme!“ soovitas ta, keerates roboti poole.

"Let's give it marshmallows!" she suggested, turning toward the robot.

"Võib-olla me feedime ta ära!"

"Maybe we'll feed it until it stops!"

Kolmekesi hakkasid nad roboti suunas vahukomme viskama.

The three of them began throwing marshmallows toward the robot.

Robot peatus hetkeks, seejärel tundus, et tema sisemised mehhanismid rahunesid.

The robot paused for a moment, then seemed to calm its internal mechanisms.

Ja siis, vaikselt, muutus robot uuesti paigale seisma.

And then, quietly, the robot stood still once more.

"Suur tänu!" ütles robot rahulikult ja lausa kummardas kergelt.

"Thank you very much!" the robot said calmly and even bowed slightly.

„Me tegime seda!“ hüüdis Kalev, endiselt põlvedel vahukommide vahel.

"We did it!" shouted Kalev, still on his knees among the marshmallows.

Maarika leidis lõpuks šokolaadi seadeldise.

Maarika finally found the chocolate device.

Ent see ei olnud masin; see oli tõepoolest lihtsalt peen retsept täiusliku kuuma šokolaadi valmistamiseks.

But it wasn't a machine; it was, in fact, just a refined recipe for making perfect hot chocolate.

Kõik vajalik oli kirjas hoolikalt masinakirjas paberil, mis lebaskles tööpingil.

Everything necessary was written in carefully typed script on a sheet of paper resting on the workbench.

„Nojaa, meil polegi vaja keerulisi masinaid,“ ütles Maarika, soe naeratus laubal.

"Well, we don't even need complex machines," said Maarika, a warm smile on her face.

"Retsept ja sõbrad on kõik, mida vajame."

"A recipe and friends are all we need."

Liis köhatas naeru.

Liis coughed with laughter.

„Ja, vahukommi pole kunagi liiga palju!“

"And, you can never have too much marshmallow!"

Maarika, Kalev ja Liis kõndisid sügise hääbuvate lehtede vaipa palistatud teel laborist välja koos säravas meeles mälestusega seiklusest ja väikese õpetusega, et mõnikord on seiklus ja sõprusrõõm olulisem kui see, mida me arvame otsivat.

Maarika, Kalev, and Liis walked out of the lab along a path lined with the fading leaves of autumn, carrying in their minds a shining memory of an adventure and a small lesson that sometimes the joy of adventure and friendship is more important than what we think we're searching for.
