Tallinnas, imekaunis tuleviku koolis, tõusis talvine hommik aeglaselt koos hakkiva päikesetõusuga.

In Tallinn, in the beautiful future school, a winter morning rose slowly with a chopping sunrise.

Koolis olid kõik lapsed elevil, sest ees ootas suur teadusmess.

At the school, all the children were excited because a big science fair awaited them.

Koridorid olid täidetud õpilaste uudsete projektidega ja seinu ehtisid uusaasta piduvalgustid, erksalt särades üle lumiste õuede.

The corridors were filled with students' innovative projects, and the walls were adorned with New Year party lights, brightly shining over the snowy courtyards.

Mihkel, kes oli üks andekamaid õpilasi koolis, astus rahulikult klassiruumi.

Mihkel, who was one of the most talented students in the school, calmly stepped into the classroom.

Ta kandis oma projekti hoolega käes.

He carefully held his project in his hands.

See oli põnev ja keeruline leiutis, mis uuris päikeseenergia uusi kasutusviise.

It was an exciting and complex invention that explored new uses of solar energy.

Mihkel tahtis väga võita, sest sellega kaasnes stipendium, mis avaks talle uued võimalused.

Mihkel really wanted to win because it came with a scholarship that would open new opportunities for him.

Kuid tema hinge näris päev-päevalt hirm – projekt tundus liiga keeruline.

However, day by day, a fear gnawed at his soul—the project seemed too complicated.

Tema parim sõber, Eeva, astus tema juurde.

His best friend, Eeva, approached him.

"Tervist, Mihkel!

"Hello, Mihkel!

Kuidas läheb?"

How's it going?"

küsis ta sõbralikult.

she asked kindly.

Eeval oli alati siiras huvi tehnoloogia vastu ja ta oli alati valmis aitama.

Eeva always had a sincere interest in technology and was always ready to help.

Mihkel muigas müüvasti.

Mihkel smiled wryly.

"Hästi läheb, aga pean selle keerulise projekti üksi valmis tegema," vastas ta.

"It's going well, but I have to finish this complex project by myself," he replied.

Eeva vaatas Mihklile otsa ja ütles kindlalt, "Ära karda abi küsida, Mihkel.

Eeva looked Mihkel in the eyes and said firmly, "Don't be afraid to ask for help, Mihkel.

Koos on meil rohkem ideid ja saame kindlasti hakkama."

Together, we'll have more ideas and can surely manage."

Mihkel mõtles Eeva soovitusele, aga otsustas siiski üksi töötada.

Mihkel considered Eeva's suggestion but decided to work alone.

Päevad möödusid ning projekti valmimine venis.

Days passed, and the project's completion dragged on.

Kogu kool oli kaetud uue aasta ootusega ja valgete lumevaipadega.

The entire school was covered with anticipation for the New Year and white blankets of snow.

Lõpuks jõudis kätte teadusmessi päev.

Finally, the day of the science fair arrived.

Mihkel asetas oma projekti lauale ja pani seadme tööle.

Mihkel placed his project on the table and started the device.

Kuid äkitselt hakkas masin imelikult vilkuma ja peatuma.

But suddenly, the machine began to flicker and stop awkwardly.

Mihklit täitis paanika.

Panic filled Mihkel.

"Ei!

"No!

See ei tööta!"

It's not working!"

sosistas ta pinges.

he whispered tensely.

Eeva märkas sõbra muret ja kiirustas tema juurde.

Eeva noticed her friend's distress and hurried to him.

"Näita mulle, mis juhtus," küsis ta pehmelt.

"Show me what happened," she asked gently.

Mihkel näitas probleemi, käed värisemas.

Mihkel showed the problem, his hands trembling.

Eeva hakkas kiirelt nuputama ja nägi, et juhtmed olid valesti ühendatud.

Eeva quickly started to figure it out and saw that the wires were connected incorrectly.

Koos tegid nad töö kiirelt korda.

Together, they quickly fixed the work.

Project hakkas taas tööle, seekord sujuvalt.

The project started running smoothly again this time.

Mihkel vaatas kergendust tundes Eevat ja naeratas.

Mihkel looked at Eeva with relief and smiled.

"Aitäh, Eeva," ütles ta.

"Thank you, Eeva," he said.

"Ilma sinuta ma ei oleks sellega hakkama saanud."

"I couldn't have done it without you."

Koos esitlesid nad projekti ja žürii oli sellest vaimustuses.

They presented the project together, and the jury was thrilled by it.

Mihkel mõistis nüüd, et koostöö on võti edu saavutamisel ja pole midagi häbeneda, kui sõbralt abi paluda.

Mihkel now understood that collaboration is the key to success and that there's no shame in asking a friend for help.

Läbi akende paistis vain õhtuhämaruses uusaasta ilutulestik.

Through the windows, the New Year's fireworks shined in the evening twilight.

Mihkel ja Eeva seisid kooliõuel, naeratus näol, nautides uhkusega oma saavutust.

Mihkel and Eeva stood in the schoolyard, smiles on their faces, proudly enjoying their achievement.

"Tule, tähistame," ütles Eeva ja nad astusid koos lume krudinal koolimajja tagasi, olles täis lootust uuteks väljakutseteks.

"Come, let's celebrate," Eeva said, and they walked back into the schoolhouse to the crunch of snow, full of hope for new challenges.
