a door at the back of the basement digne. He

78
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:13,720

104
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: But there was a problem. The building's concierge, Monsieur le Claire,

105
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720
was fiercely opposed to the idea of further exploration.

106

110
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,600
he said.

111
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,720

00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: However, to us, adventurous spirit couldn't leave the mystery of

00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,759

117
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,399
Speaker 2: One stormy evening, as the wind howled through the alleys,

118
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Teo and Ilodie, armed with flashlights and historical maps, decided

119
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,120
to sneak down Le.

Speaker 1: Donge DII moment a portell no tre di monsieur Quette.

121
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,919
Speaker 2: The danger of the moment added another dimension to their quest.

125
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,879
Speaker 2: By illuminating every inch of the artwork, they discovered clues

126
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,080
linking the mural to a famous war resistor, a forgotten

127
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:51,120

00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: The clues public sized by Ilodi attracted the attention of

131
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:03,480
local historians.

132
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,240

134
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: In light of the significance of the discovery, Monsieur Leclair

135
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:15,480
changed his mind.

136
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:20,320

Speaker 2: Soon the basement was officially opened for public visits, with

139
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,759
conservation efforts underway.

142
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: Teo had not only helped bring to light a forgotten

143
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:51,039
chapter of Barrizio history, but he had also discovered a

144
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,960
new passion for local history.

150
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,519
Speaker 2: And from a simple discovery a deep friendship was born

151
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,360
which would forever bind this particular autumn to his Barrizal life.

152
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:31,279
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
