00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,879
Speaker 3: That morning, as spring was gently awakening Paris with its

72
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,079

bag filled with lettuce and small reptile accessories.

00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:43,439
to Aten.

00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,200
overwhelming his young apprentice, chose to approach the situation with caution.
