Speaker 2: selling traditional Finnish delicacies.
Speaker 4: Ilias Nelli kumpin and MIAs rakastelloluyas and yola Lisuksia muta
Speaker 4: AsTMa oli hennen Ikuinen.
Speaker 2: Kumpaninsa Elias, a man in his forties, loved Christmas and
Speaker 2: its festivities, but Asma was his constant companion.
Speaker 4: Han Vettiko la Huivia tuke min Umperi Lene kun kulm
Speaker 4: ilmakut tike Koya.
Speaker 2: He pulled his scarf tighter around him as the cold
Speaker 2: air tickled his lungs.
Speaker 4: Kotsuka kuenka Ihania pipar kutya.
Speaker 2: Look at how lovely the gingerbread houses are.
Speaker 4: Han ihastili Urampeta, Pista van hengh Itusvive and sa Ino.
Speaker 2: He marveled, trying to mask his piercing breathing difficult with enthusiasm.
Speaker 4: Lisa ilias and lahyen and Usteva panimrki lehnen Heini took
Speaker 4: sin ser raskous.
Speaker 2: Lisa, Elias's close friend noticed the heaviness of his breathing.
Speaker 4: Haluatko o lahit ke and yosa kin lampi mas Sa.
Speaker 2: Do you want to be somewhere warm for a moment,
Speaker 2: hankusu hule devisesti, she asked caringly.
Speaker 4: Mika ya nit do nutyaval mis ko keman kai ken

Speaker 2: Mika, excited and ready to experience everything, smiled and looked around.
Speaker 4: Boimeyot kamatka loda mecu la lampi manpaikon muhem min.
Speaker 2: We can keep going. We'll find a warm place later.
Speaker 4: Ilias halusivi pu la vila akon sa markinoi la tunte

Speaker 2: magic of Christmas hanpati itaiuxa. He decided he could manage
Speaker 2: hiki si.
Speaker 4: Vet itempaine tori lo tai naih misia you'd dea ravat
Speaker 4: kaswotei us tvat kumpelitu nel ma.
Speaker 2: They rushed forward through a square full of people whose
Speaker 2: laughing faces reflected the atmosphere like mirrors.
Speaker 4: Uh ta kia Alias pousa to kun ardis tushkiristirnta.
Speaker 2: Suddenly, Alias stopped. His anxiety tightened his chest.
Speaker 4: Han urriihingha suvan mta il matar tuikur ku.
Speaker 2: He tried to breathe deeply, but the air stuck in
Speaker 2: his throat.
Speaker 4: Lis again at ti kotsomn ilias the Saigatanena.
Speaker 2: Lisa turned to look at Elias in alarm.
Speaker 4: Ilias at cocunos.
Speaker 2: Elias, are you okay han kuzuikiriesti, She asked quickly, mika

Speaker 2: his side, holding his cousin lightly upright.

Speaker 2: We need to find a warm place now, he said,
Speaker 2: looking desperately around.
Speaker 4: ONEI la HeLa olipi niko vila ikuno lost lamperstavalo.
Speaker 2: Fortunately there was a small cafe nearby with warm lights
Speaker 2: shining through its windows.
Speaker 4: Hituki vat Elias tasi san oh yvaem tulin lampi messen
Speaker 4: or coxesa.
Speaker 2: They supported Elias inside, guiding him to a soft chair
Speaker 2: in a warm corner.
Speaker 4: Gulta stavalo a hey yestava kunti le tan sipo de la.
Speaker 2: A candle reflecting golden light danced on the table.
Speaker 4: Ilias heng itisuvea nutralise masa umbaristas sa.
Speaker 2: Elias breathed deeply. Now in the calmer environment.
Speaker 4: Guitos ea hensai san no tuxi heiko la an ella.
Speaker 2: Thank you, he managed to say, weakly.
Speaker 4: Lisa humulia toi PoTA and call memuki lista kuma ca carta.
Speaker 2: Lisa smiled and brought three mugs of hot cocoa to
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 4: Nutvoimenotti a yo lustata lakin e hansan noi peh mehsti.
Speaker 2: Now we can enjoy Christmas here too, she said softly.
Speaker 4: Mika kotzili iliastay Eli sasi ehlua mevieta aika con sasi

Speaker 2: time with you wherever that may be.
Speaker 4: Ilias istu ikito lisena usta vien sakon satun ti en
Speaker 4: ite o lutia yo lun ime Stapitesi.
Speaker 2: Elias sat gratefully with his friends, feeling he hadn't missed
Speaker 2: out on the wonders of Christmas.
Speaker 4: Hanen thaou do opia kun te le man keho and
Speaker 4: pare min mutaseem ita hanen Thao dou Siluilasta.
Speaker 2: He needed to learn to listen to his body better,
Speaker 2: but that didn't mean he had to give up on
Speaker 2: the celebration.
Speaker 4: K viln iku Nosta Elias se rosi kuenka lumi lea
Speaker 4: Yuihilia len mahn udis dan Helia isoud and markinoid and
Speaker 4: hyrcan Ila koinin.
Speaker 2: Through the cafe windows. Alias watched the snow gently fall
Speaker 2: to the ground, blending the silence with the delicate man
Speaker 2: of the market.
Speaker 4: Ya see naheit kisa and tsi itayolu oilesna ak oludpai
Speaker 4: van dun yokaheakaishti.
Speaker 2: And in that moment he knew that Christmas was present,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't a place but a feeling that united
Speaker 2: them all.
