Story Transcript:

Fi: Rovaniemen talviyö oli kuin satua.
En: The winter night in Rovaniemi was like a fairy tale.

Fi: Taivas sädehti tähdistä, ja ilma oli raikas ja kylmä.
En: The sky sparkled with stars, and the air was fresh and cold.

Fi: Aino ja Eero olivat lähteneet lomalle Lappiin viettämään uutta vuotta.
En: Aino and Eero had gone on a holiday to Lapland to celebrate the New Year.

Fi: Heidän suunnitelmissaan oli nähdä revontulet, joita he molemmat rakastivat.
En: Their plan was to see the northern lights, which they both loved.

Fi: Aino oli aina halunnut päättää vuoden erityisesti.
En: Aino had always wanted to end the year in a special way.

Fi: Jotain, mikä toisi hänet lähemmäksi Eeroa.
En: Something that would bring her closer to Eero.

Fi: He hiihtivät pitkin lumista metsää, kun Aino äkkiä kaatui.
En: They were skiing through the snowy forest when Aino suddenly fell.

Fi: "Ai!"
En: "Ouch!"

Fi: hän huudahti, tarttuessaan nilkkaansa.
En: she exclaimed, grabbing her ankle.

Fi: Eero kääntyi nopeasti.
En: Eero turned quickly.

Fi: "Aino, oletko kunnossa?"
En: "Aino, are you okay?"

Fi: hän kysyi huolestuneena.
En: he asked worriedly.

Fi: Aino puri huultaan.
En: Aino bit her lip.

Fi: Hän ei halunnut pilata iltaa.
En: She didn't want to ruin the evening.

Fi: "Olen kunnossa", hän yritti vakuuttaa, mutta kivun takia hänen kasvonsa kertoivat toista.
En: "I'm fine," she tried to assure him, but the pain made her face tell a different story.

Fi: He jatkoivat hitaasti eteenpäin, mutta pian Aino ei enää pystynyt jatkamaan.
En: They continued slowly onward, but soon Aino could no longer keep going.

Fi: Lopulta hänen oli pakko myöntää: "Eero, en pysty kävelemään.
En: Finally, she had to admit, "Eero, I can't walk.

Fi: Nilkkani sattuu liikaa."
En: My ankle hurts too much."

Fi: Eero pysähtyi ja katsoi häntä.
En: Eero stopped and looked at her.

Fi: "Me emme voi jatkaa näin", hän sanoi mietteliäästi.
En: "We can't continue like this," he said thoughtfully.

Fi: Aino tunsi kyyneleiden nousevan silmiinsä.
En: Aino felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Fi: Hän pelkäsi, että kaikki oli pilalla.
En: She feared that everything was ruined.

Fi: "Anteeksi", hän kuiskasi.
En: "I'm sorry," she whispered.

Fi: Eero kyykistyi hänen viereensä.
En: Eero crouched down beside her.

Fi: "Ei hätää", hän sanoi lempeästi.
En: "It's okay," he said gently.

Fi: "Keksitään jotain."
En: "We'll figure something out."

Fi: Hetken hiljaisuuden jälkeen Eero katsahti ympärilleen ja huomasi mäenrinteellä pienen punaisen reen.
En: After a moment of silence, Eero glanced around and noticed a small red sled on the hillside.

Fi: "Katsotaanpas", hän hymyili.
En: "Let's see," he smiled.

Fi: Varovasti Eero auttoi Ainoa rekeen ja alkoi vetää häntä kohti läheistä mäkeä.
En: Carefully, Eero helped Aino onto the sled and began to pull her toward a nearby hill.

Fi: Aino nojautui taaksepäin, katsoi taivaalle ja yritti unohtaa kivun.
En: Aino leaned back, gazed at the sky, and tried to forget the pain.

Fi: He pääsivät mäen huipulle juuri, kun taivas alkoi avautua.
En: They reached the top of the hill just as the sky began to open up.

Fi: Vihreät, violetit ja punaiset valot tanssivat yläpuolella.
En: Green, purple, and red lights danced above.

Fi: Revontulet olivat upeampia kuin koskaan.
En: The northern lights were more magnificent than ever.

Fi: Aino pidätti hengitystään.
En: Aino held her breath.

Fi: "Ne ovat kauniita", hän sanoi hiljaa.
En: "They are beautiful," she said quietly.

Fi: "Kiitos, että veit minut tänne."
En: "Thank you for bringing me here."

Fi: Eero istuutui hänen viereensä.
En: Eero sat down beside her.

Fi: "Minä en halunnut jättää tätä väliin.
En: "I didn't want to miss this.

Fi: Enkä jättää sinua yksin", hän sanoi vilpittömästi.
En: Nor leave you alone," he said sincerely.

Fi: He katselivat revontulia yhdessä.
En: They watched the northern lights together.

Fi: Kylmä ilma sai posket punottamaan, mutta heidän sydämissään oli lämmin.
En: The cold air made their cheeks blush, but their hearts were warm.

Fi: Aino ymmärsi, ettei hänen tarvinnut aina olla vahva.
En: Aino realized she didn't always have to be strong.

Fi: Oli okei pyytää apua.
En: It was okay to ask for help.

Fi: Eero puolestaan oppi, että pienet teot voivat merkitä paljon.
En: Eero, in turn, learned that small acts can mean a lot.

Fi: He istuivat hiljaa, käsi kädessä, uuden vuoden alun alla.
En: They sat quietly, hand in hand, as the New Year began.

Fi: Taivas välkkyi ja loisti kuin lupaus paremmasta tulevasta, ja siinä hetkessä Rovaniemen lumisessa yössä he olivat lähempänä kuin koskaan ennen.
En: The sky flickered and shone like a promise of a better future, and in that moment, in the snowy night of Rovaniemi, they were closer than ever before.
