En: Antti looked around Suomenlinna. Fi: Oli juhannus, ja linnoituksen vanhat muurit kajahtelivat ilosta ja naurusta. En: It was Midsummer, and the old fortress walls echoed with joy and laughter. Fi: Aurinko tanssi taivaalla, eikä aikonut laskea yöksi. En: The sun danced in the sky and had no intention of setting for the night. Fi: Antti piti Suomenlinnasta, tämä oli hänen ensimmäinen kertansa. En: Antti liked Suomenlinna; it was his first time here. Fi: Hän oli hakenut pakopaikkaa Helsinkiin pienestä kunnasta, missä elämä oli aina samaa. En: He had sought refuge in Helsinki from a small town where life was always the same.
