Tap a word to see what it means.
On laupäev. Väljas sajab vihma. On külm. Liis istub akna juures.
It’s Saturday. It’s raining outside. It’s cold. Liis sits beside the window.
LiisVanaema, jälle vihm! Tahan sõbraga parki minna.
Grandma, rain again! I want to go to the park with my friend.
LeenaTäna jalgrattaga ei lähe. On liiga külm.
Not by bicycle today. It’s too cold.
LiisMul on vihmamantel!
I have a raincoat!
- Leena
Sinul on. Aga sinu jalgrattal ei ole!
You have one. But your bicycle does not!
- Leena
Joonista täna. Ja tee minuga pannkooke.
Draw today. And make pancakes with me.
Her mother calls from work.
HelenLiis, vabandust. Mina töötan ka täna. Õhtuni.
Liis, sorry. I’m working today too. Until this evening.
- Liis
Sa töötad alati, ema. Laupäeval ka!
You always work, Mum. On Saturdays too!
- Helen
Ma aitan inimesi. Kas te teete pannkooke?
I help people. Are you two making pancakes?

Jah. Tule täna õhtul. Neid on palju!
Yes. Come tonight. There are plenty!
Liis joonistab mere. Ja päikese ning liiva.
Liis draws the sea. And sun and sand too.
- Liis
Me läheme igal suvel mere äärde. Kõik koos.
We go to the sea every summer. Everyone together.
- Liis
Seal on palav. Ema ka ei tööta.
It’s hot there. Mum does not work either.
- Liis
Hommikul ujume. Seal on külmem kui järves. Aga ma ei karda.
We swim in the morning. It’s colder than in the lake. But I’m not afraid.
- Leena
Ja sinu noorem vend?
What about your younger brother?
- Liis
Ta on liiga väike. Ta ei oska ujuda. Ta sööb liiva!
He’s too small. He cannot swim. He eats sand!
Her drawing imagines a later summer: the baby brother is bigger, and they make a sandcastle. LiisPärast lõunat teeme liivalossi. Iga aastaga suurema.
After lunch we make a sandcastle. Bigger every year.
- Leena
Õhtul on tuul. Pane riidesse. Võta müts ka.
The wind blows in the evening. Get dressed. Take a hat too.
- Liis
Minul mere ääres külm ei ole!
I’m not cold at the sea!
- Leena
Eelmisel aastal sul oli külm. Sa olid sinine nagu meri!
You were cold last year. You were blue like the sea!

Ei! Ainult natuke.
No! Only a little.

LiisMa tahan kutsikat. Minu sõbral on ka kutsikas.

- Liis
Muri elab siin. Kutsikas saab meie kodus olla.
Muri lives here. The puppy would be at our home.
- Leena
Kes tema eest hoolitseb? Ema ja isa töötavad. Sina käid koolis.
Who looks after it? Mum and Dad work. You go to school.
- Liis
Ma hoolitsen ka Muri eest. Ma oskan!
I look after Muri too. I can do it!
- Leena
Ei. Muri hoolitseb sinu eest!
No. Muri looks after you!
- Liis
Ma tahan kunstnikuks saada. Kodus töötada. Ja kutsika eest hoolitseda.

No! Teachers always say: later.

With me it is now!

Yes. A hat and scarf. It’s still cold.
- Liis
Ema! Suvel läheb kutsikas ka mere äärde!
Mum! In summer the puppy goes to the sea too!
