Karge talvehommik Tallinna vanalinnas ärkas rahuliku lumevaibaga kaetud kodudesse.

A crisp winter morning in Tallinna vanalinnas woke up the homes covered in a peaceful blanket of snow.

Jõuluturgude tuled sädelesid, luues igavese muinasjutu tunde.

The lights of the Christmas markets sparkled, creating an eternal fairytale feeling.

Maret ja Toomas seadsid oma sammud sinna, nende eesmärk kindel - leida kingitus oma vanematele ja taastada lapsepõlvetraditsioon.

Maret and Toomas set out there, their goal clear - to find a gift for their parents and to revive a childhood tradition.

"Toomas, vaatame kiirelt ringi ja leiame selle kingituse," ütles Maret, silmis terav pilk.

"Toomas, let's take a quick look around and find that gift," said Maret, with a sharp look in her eyes.

Ta tahtis olla kindel, et kõik saab õigeks ajaks tehtud.

She wanted to be sure everything was done on time.

Aga Toomas, kel oli alati särtsakas ja unistav suhtumine, oli hoopis teistsugusel lainel.

But Toomas, who always had a lively and dreamy attitude, was on a completely different wavelength.

"Näed seda lumememme?

"Do you see that snowman?

Ja seda kommipoodi!

And that candy shop!

Oh, seal müüakse piparkooke," hüüdis Toomas, tõmmates Maretit endaga kaasa läbi sagiva rahvamassi.

Oh, they're selling gingerbread there," exclaimed Toomas, pulling Maret with him through the bustling crowd.

Õhk oli täis piparkoogi ja hõõgveini lõhna, lumekristallid kukkusid nende peale nagu tähed.

The air was filled with the scent of gingerbread and mulled wine, snow crystals falling on them like stars.

Toomase silmad särasid nagu välja pandud jõulukaunistused.

Toomas's eyes shone like the Christmas decorations on display.

Kuid Maret, ruttades, pidi sageli peatuma ja hingama sügavalt sisse, et mitte lasta end häirida.

However, Maret, in a hurry, often had to stop and take a deep breath, trying not to get distracted.

Kui nad kiunuma hakkasid, tegi Maret sammu tagasi.

When they started to slow down, Maret stepped back.

"Toomas, me peame midagi leidma," lausus ta vaikselt.

"Toomas, we need to find something," she said quietly.

Toomas naeratas.

Toomas smiled.

"Olgu, juhatan teed.

"Alright, I'll lead the way.

Ära muretse, midagi leiame ikka."

Don't worry, we'll find something for sure."

Nii viis Toomas neid läbi musternäituse, sametkatustega putkade keskel.

So Toomas led them through the exhibition, amidst booths with velvet roofs.

Üksikud helid viiulit mängivast muusikust vaheldusid inglite lauluga.

The occasional sounds of a violin-playing musician alternated with angelic singing.

Lõpuks tavatu, väikese käsitööputka ees, jäi Toomas seisma.

Finally, in front of an unusual, small craft booth, Toomas stopped.

Läikiv ornament püüdis tema pilku.

A shiny ornament caught his eye.

"See!

"This!

Vaata, see on täpselt see, mida peame ostma," Toomas teatas veendunult.

Look, this is exactly what we need to buy," Toomas announced confidently.

Maret, kes alguses kahtles, vaatas lähemalt.

Maret, who initially doubted, looked closer.

Ornament oli tõeliselt imepärane - läbipaistev, justkui nõtke külmutatud puhtus.

The ornament was truly marvelous - transparent, like some graceful frozen purity.

Ta naeratas, tundes, et Toomas oli leidnud midagi erilist.

She smiled, realizing that Toomas had found something special.

Nad otsustasid ornament koos osta, naermas ja meenutades vana ja uusi mälestusi.

They decided to buy the ornament together, laughing and reminiscing old and new memories.

Koduteel vahtis Maret üles lumetähti, mis tardusid nende ümber nagu tunnistajad.

On the way home, Maret gazed up at the snowflakes, frozen around them like witnesses.

Ta hindas oma noorema venna võimet avastada rõõmu ja lõbusust lihtsates hetkedes.

She appreciated her younger brother's ability to find joy and fun in simple moments.

Maret tundis, et vahel tasub lihtsalt peatuda ja nautida.

Maret felt that sometimes it's worth just stopping and enjoying.

Käies käsikäes vanalinna teedel, õppis ta, kui oluline on tasakaalustada oma praktilisus Toomase spontaansusega.

Walking hand in hand on the old town streets, she learned how important it is to balance her practicality with Toomas's spontaneity.

Nad naersid koos, ja jõulutähed süttisid nende südames.

They laughed together, and Christmas stars lit up in their hearts.
