En: Amid the windy streets of Tallinn, Jaan walked along the cobblestone streets of the old town. Et: Oli sügis ja lehed olid kuldsed ja punased. En: It was autumn, and the leaves were golden and red. Et: Ta kandis suuri kirjarulle käes ja sammus kindlalt. En: He carried large scrolls in his hands and walked decisively.
