En: Muhu island gleamed in the early morning golden autumn light. Et: Turul, mis oli täis erinevaid käsitöökaupu, kadusid vanade värvikirevate puumajade ja rahuliku mere tausta vahele külastajad. En: At the market, filled with various handicrafts, visitors disappeared among the old colorful wooden houses and the calm sea backdrop. Et: Taavi, kes oli alati olnud uudishimulik rändur, seisis turuväravas, otsides pilguga autentset suveniiri.
