Tallinna vanalinnas helkis päikesevalguses udu, kui Karin, Juhan ja Liisa leidsid end keset Raekoja platsi.

In the Tallinna Old Town, mist shimmered in the sunlight as Karin, Juhan, and Liisa found themselves in the middle of Raekoja Square.

Oli talvine päev ja õhk kandis endaga kuuma šokolaadi ja glögi lõhna.

It was a winter day, and the air carried the scent of hot chocolate and mulled wine.

Sõbrapäev oli käes, ning sõbrad olid otsustanud piknikule minna.

Valentine's Day had arrived, and the friends had decided to go for a picnic.

Karin oli alati armastanud vanalinna ajaloolist võlu.

Karin had always loved the historical charm of the Old Town.

Kuid täna oli ta murelik.

But today, she was worried.

Piknikukorv, mis pidi sisaldama nende lõunasööki, jäi lukku.

The picnic basket, which was supposed to contain their lunch, was locked.

Seda ei saanud avada ilma mõistatusterida lahendamata. "

It couldn't be opened without solving a series of riddles.

see on väike probleem," ütles Juhan rahulikult, kiigates lumikattega munakivide poole.

"It's a small problem," said Juhan calmly, glancing at the snow-covered cobblestones.

"Probleem?"

"Problem?"

ütles Karin naeratades.

said Karin with a smile.

"See on võimalus!"

"It's an opportunity!"

Ta tahtis kindlasti seda lahendada ja salaja Juhanile muljet avaldada.

She definitely wanted to solve it and secretly impress Juhan.

"Meil on vaja sooja kohta, et mõelda," sõnas Liisa, praktilise inimesena.

"We need a warm place to think," suggested Liisa, the practical one.

"Külm hakkab näpistama."

"The cold is starting to bite."

Nii suundusid nad kolmekesi lähimasse kohvikusse ja tellisid kuumad šokolaadid.

So the three of them headed to the nearest café and ordered hot chocolates.

"Karin, kas sa tead esimest mõistatust?"

"Karin, do you know the first riddle?"

küsis Juhan.

asked Juhan.

Karin ajas end nobedalt sirgu ja luges korvi kinnitatud lehelt.

Karin quickly straightened up and read from the sheet attached to the basket.

"Mis on see, mis vanalinnas jääb alati muutumatuks, kuid iga tund näeb see erinev välja?"

"What is something in the Old Town that always stays the same, yet looks different every hour?"

Ta mõtles, vaadates aknast lumetuisku.

She pondered, looking out at the snowstorm.

Juhan jälgis teda, naeratus näol.

Juhan watched her, a smile on his face.

"Tõenäoliselt raidkellad," mõtles Karin kõva häälega ja sisestas vastuse.

"Probably the clocks," Karin thought out loud and entered the answer.

Kellaliikuv müra kinnitas, et esimene vastus oli õige.

The ticking noise of the lock confirmed that the first answer was correct.

"Järgmine," ütles Karin innuga.

"Next," said Karin eagerly.

"Mis taimed õitsevad talvel südames, kuigi mitte looduses?"

"What plants bloom in the heart during winter, though not in nature?"

Liisa nuputas kõvasti.

Liisa thought hard.

Siis ütles ta: "Südamed.

Then she said, "Hearts.

Sõbrapäeva südamed."

Valentine's Day hearts."

Karin lisas sõna "südamed".

Karin added the word "hearts."

Jälle plagises lukusti.

Again, the lock mechanism rattled.

Karin tundis kuidas ta enesekindlus kasvas.

Karin felt her confidence growing.

Juhan vaatas teda nii, nagu poleks teda kunagi varem näinud.

Juhan looked at her as if he had never seen her before.

Viimane küsimus.

The final question.

"Mis on vaim, mis seob sõpru vanalinnas, teiste peale nähtamatu?"

"What spirit connects friends in the Old Town, invisible to others?"

Juhan naeris vaikselt.

Juhan chuckled quietly.

"Mõnikord pole vastusel mingit mõtet," ütles ta.

"Sometimes the answer doesn't make any sense," he said.

Karin mõtles ja tema silmad libisesid Juhanini, kes vaatas teda julgustaades.

Karin thought, and her eyes slipped over to Juhan, who looked at her encouragingly.

"Sõprus?"

"Friendship?"

pakkus ta.

she suggested.

Lukusti plahvatas viimast korda lahti.

The lock burst open for the last time.

Korvist avanes kaunis söömaaeg kõigi jaoks ning lisaks šokolaadikarp.

Inside the basket, a beautiful meal awaited everyone and, in addition, a box of chocolates.

Seal oli ka väike armastusnutu Juhanilt Karinile.

There was also a small love note from Juhan to Karin.

"See oli kõik plaanitud," ütles Juhan naeratades, "Sina olid mu inspiratsioon."

"It was all planned," said Juhan with a smile, "You were my inspiration."

Karin naeratas tagasi, ja endas tundis ta elevust ja enesekindlust.

Karin smiled back, feeling a thrill and confidence within herself.

Lõuna maitses imeliselt.

The lunch tasted wonderful.

Nad sõid, rääkisid ja naersid.

They ate, talked, and laughed.

Sõbrapäeval Tallinna vanalinna keskel, lumetuses, leidis Karin lõpuks julguse oma tundeid avaldada.

On Valentine's Day, in the heart of Tallinna Old Town, amidst the snowfall, Karin finally found the courage to express her feelings.

Selles talvepäevas saabus kiri tema südames, varjates nii vahvaid seiklusi kui ka uusi algusi.

On this winter day, a letter arrived in her heart, hiding both delightful adventures and new beginnings.
