85
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 3>One of Liang's dreams is to talk with these penguins

86
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 3>to understand how they decide on their migration routes.

89
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>To achieve this liong tied letters to each penguin, hoping

90
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 3>they would give him some kind of response.

<v Speaker 1>Tellend tish si ye do.

92
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.759

95
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Moreover, Chun always accidentally ties the letters to the wrong penguin,

96
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.399
<v Speaker 3>resulting in a series of bewildering chase.

98
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.040

100
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 3>He decided to abandon letters and used simple visual signals instead.

103
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.519
<v Speaker 3>He used tent fabric in bamboo poles to construct a

104
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 3>simple semaphore system, attempting to communicate with the penguins through

105
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>these flags.

108
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 3>However, a sudden blizzard cut off all communications, forcing Leong

109
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 3>to take shelter with the penguins from the storm.

112
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 3>interactions among the penguins.

116
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 3>He noticed that the penguins used body language to exchange information,

117
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 3>gently shaking their heads, flapping their wings, or lining up

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>of new knowledge and shared his discoveries with Mae and.

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.679

131
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 3>deeper respect for the silent language of nature.
