En: It was a late autumn afternoon. Et: Lehtede kuld ja punane varisedes valgustasid vana kivimaja ümbrust, kus asus internaat. En: As the golden and red leaves fell, they illuminated the surroundings of an old stone house, where a boarding school was located. Et: See kool, vanamoodne ja salapärane, asetses väikese Otepää linna lähedal, keset tihedat metsa. En: This school, old-fashioned and mysterious, was situated near the small town of Otepää, in the middle of a dense forest. Et: Kaisa, tüdruk Tallinnast, kõndis raamatukogus riiulite vahel, nuusutades õhus peituvat tolmu ja vanade köidete lõhna.

Et: Teda vaevas igatsus kodu järele, kuid teadmistejanu oli see, mis hoidis teda tegutsemas. En: She was troubled by homesickness, but it was her thirst for knowledge that kept her going. Et: Ühel päeval avastas Kaisa raamatukogu pimedas nurgas varjatud ukse. En: One day, Kaisa discovered a hidden door in a dark corner of the library. Et: Ta lükkas seda uudishimulikult ja leidis end väikesest arhiivist, kus seisis vana raamat mustade kaantega. En: She curiously pushed it and found herself in a small archive, where stood an old book with black covers. Et: Mart ja Liisa, Kaisa klassikaaslased, olid lähedal ja märkasid tema avastust. En: Mart and Liisa, Kaisa's classmates, were nearby and noticed her discovery. Et: Mart, vilistav ja vaimukas, kiikas üle Kaisa õla. En: Mart, whistling and witty, peeked ov…","meta_description":"Fluent Fiction - Estonian : Unearth the Mysterious Secrets of the Hidden Door Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1040,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fluentfiction-estonian-6698358/episodes/unearth-the-mysterious-secrets-of-the-hidden-door/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-estonian-6698358/unearth-the-mysterious-secrets-of-the-hidden-door.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
