00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:20,839

51
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,439
was walking across the bridge with Eva.

55
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:55,920

56
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: Eva was skeptical and traditional Christmas decorations didn't appeal to

57
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:01,720
her much.

58
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,639
Speaker 1: Jirka evmistus temk.

59
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:12,920

00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:14,560
quietly flowed under the bridge.

Speaker 1: Pri set kozlaka.

62
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,759
Speaker 3: They say magic happens here, Yurka said, with a smile.

63
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Eva sen mirno smila alei obi vila is krasvedevoski.

64
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: Iva only slightly smiled back, but a spark of curiosity

65
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:38,240
appeared in her eyes.

66
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Na Halairka.

67
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: Suddenly Yoka saw something unusual.

68
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: Bella to la REVAi.

69
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,399
Speaker 3: It was a bottle bobbing on the river's surface.

70
00:06:56,079 --> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 1: Podive tam helene volum klaw.

71
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:08,399
Speaker 3: Look, there's something over there, he exclaimed, pointing towards the bottle.

72
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:15,600
Evasvid Eva followed his gaze curiously.

73
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:24,079
Speaker 1: LAVs dopisem a bottle with a letter toyez aima veva.

74
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,319
Speaker 3: That's interesting, Eva said, somewhat incredulously.

75
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Ercaserod riskovat.

76
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,399
Speaker 3: Yurka decided to take a risk.

77
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:43,759
Speaker 1: Moli bihumzistit souvnit navn.

78
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: We could find out what's inside, he suggested cautiously.

79
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: Evasikivla y zay m ninives.

80
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: Rosto Eva nodded, her interest now heightened.

81
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Spomotid hev tevilavil.

82
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: With the help of a long branch, Yurka retrieved the

83
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:14,319
bottle nil papil. Inside was a piece of paper pomovitailier.

84
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,279
He slowly pulled out the letter and unfolded it. Yet, Danka,

85
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,120
it's a riddle, zvol natchene, he exclaimed excitedly.

86
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Texturitzke pa matze.

87
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,639
Speaker 3: The text led to a nearby historical landmark.

88
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Eva Senini's de la vie zauyeta Eva now seemed more intrigued.

89
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:49,879
Neli bi juntoskusit navra la, we should try to solve it,

90
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:59,720
she suggested. A texadanki terae vedlakozel.

00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,440
hidden Christmas market.

96
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:25,639
