Vana laohoone uksed krigisesid raskelt, kui Maarja, Rein ja Piret neid lahti lükkasid.

The doors of the old warehouse creaked heavily as Maarja, Rein, and Piret pushed them open.

Tolm hõljus õhus, valguskiired murdsid läbi kitsaste akende.

Dust floated in the air, and beams of light broke through the narrow windows.

Kõikjal oli täiskorralagedus - vanad pappkarbid, möödunud ajastu mööbel ja salapärased kastid.

Everywhere was filled with chaos—old cardboard boxes, furniture from a bygone era, and mysterious crates.

Maarja tõmbas jalga kindad.

Maarja put on gloves.

Ta oli kuulnud, et lao hoone varjas erilisi lihavõttemune, selliseid, mis teeksid iga koguja kadedaks.

She had heard that the warehouse concealed special Easter eggs, the kind that would make any collector envious.

Ta silmad särasid lootusrikkalt.

Her eyes sparkled with hope.

Maarja teadis, et tema konkurendid, Rein ja Piret, olid sama sihikindlad.

Maarja knew that her competitors, Rein and Piret, were just as determined.

Rein püüdis alati leida kõige ebatavalisemat, Piret oli tuntud oma läbirääkimisoskuste poolest.

Rein always aimed to find the most unusual items, and Piret was known for her negotiation skills.

„Maarja, kas sa juba midagi leidsid?” Rein hõikas temast paar riiuli kaugusel.

“Maarja, have you found anything yet?” Rein called from a couple of shelves away.

Maarja raputas pead ja astus edasi.

Maarja shook her head and moved forward.

Suured riiulid ulatusid kõrgele, täis unustatud esemeid, millest igaüks omas ajalugu.

The large shelves stretched high, filled with forgotten items, each with its own history.

Maarja peatus, kui märk märkas vana kastikest.

Maarja stopped when she noticed an old box.

Ta avas selle ettevaatlikult.

She opened it carefully.

Sees oli ornateeritud muna, millel olid helendavad värvid.

Inside was an ornate egg with glowing colors.

Maarja tundis rõõmuga, et oli leidnud otsitu.

Maarja felt joy, knowing she had found what she was looking for.

Kuid enne, kui ta jõudis peariimerdamiseni, ilmusid Rein ja Piret nurga tagant.

But before she could relish in her discovery, Rein and Piret appeared from around the corner.

„Kena leid, Maarja,“ ütles Piret, sammunud lähemale, tema hääles kerge kadedusenoot.

“Nice find, Maarja,” said Piret, stepping closer, a slight note of envy in her voice.

Rein noogutas.

Rein nodded.

„See on tõesti muljetavaldav.” Maarja teadis, et ta ei saa neid üle mängida.

“It's really impressive.” Maarja knew she couldn't outplay them.

Aga tal oli plaan.

But she had a plan.

„Vaadake, ma pakun teile tehingut,“ ütles Maarja kindlameelselt.

“Look, I propose a deal,” Maarja said determinedly.

„Ma ostan selle muna, aga meie leiame koos rohkem.

“I’ll buy this egg, but we find more together.

Mida leiame edaspidi, jagame kasu.

Whatever we find in the future, we share the profits.

Mis te arvate?” Piret ja Rein vahetasid pilke.

What do you think?” Piret and Rein exchanged glances.

Kui neid rahuldas Maarja ettepanek, noogutasid nad lõpuks nõustuvalt.

When they were satisfied with Maarja's proposal, they finally nodded in agreement.

Kolm koguja hakkasid uurima ülejäänud ladu, nüüd mitte ainult rivaalid, vaid liitlased, keda ühendas otsimine ja avastus.

The three collectors began exploring the rest of the warehouse, now not just rivals but allies united by the search and discovery.

Väljudes laost, hoidis Maarja oma haruldast muna kindlalt.

As they exited the warehouse, Maarja held her rare egg securely.

Ta oli leidnud mitte ainult haruldase eseme, vaid ka uusi sõpru.

She had found not only a rare item but also new friends.

Varakevade päikesevalgus soojendas tema nägu, lubades uusi seiklusi ja leidmisi.

The early spring sunlight warmed her face, promising new adventures and discoveries.
