Speaker 3: He loved losing himself in the contemplation of the artworks,

71
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,920
each painting telling a unique story, each sculpture, and a

an artist in the making.

00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,560
the galleries.

Speaker 3: He headed to a temporary exhibition by a local artist,

99
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,240
his heart beating at the thought of discovering something rare

100
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,839
and vibrant, something that would perfectly align with his sister's

101
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,879
creative soul.

00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,439
an extraordinary sculpture.

00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,320

128
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,639
Speaker 3: But Hugo remembered the moments he had spent with his sister,

129
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,960
the discussions about art and the passion she put into

130
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:10,519
each brushstroke.

135
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,399
Speaker 3: Following his instinct, Ugo headed to the counter and, with

136
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,600
newfound determination, used a part of his savings to buy

137
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,639
the sculpture.

Speaker 1: Priterre mon quito lenissi levon d'etn saint les crisdou.

139
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,559

00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: You go sante kileve fellow bonchois.

141
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:57,200

152
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: With a serene smile, Ugo already imagined the moment when

153
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:45,279
he would see the wonder in his sister's eyes.

00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:06,720
to act boldly for those he loves. Today's vocabulary words
