55
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: The old stones of the square, surrounded by cottages with

56
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,519
thatched roofs, reflected the glow of the falling.

57
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:11,360

59
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: The village was preparing for a festival which was to

60
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,480
be not only a celebration of the harvest, but also

61
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
the last hope for salvation before the coming winter.

62
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:35,319

64
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: Amidst all this hustle and preparation, stood Jacoup, a young farmer,

65
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,959
at the center of the action, with deep concern on

66
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:45,519
his face.

67
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeho o chi zamischlene aponeto aldyiri kumlino na krai vesnitze.

68
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,319
Speaker 3: His eyes, thoughtful and full of longing, gazed towards the mill.

00:06:58,399 --> 00:06:58,959

72
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,519
Speaker 3: There lived a Risca, a girl with a smile brighter

73
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,560
than the flames in the forge of her father, a blacksmith.

74
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Yakup videl jemusi ukazatrod la ni pokutka.

75
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,879
Speaker 3: Yakoup knew he had to show courage and determination if

76
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,120
he wanted to win her heart.

77
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:42,319
Speaker 1: Niel chektake nastaros de da bila tak slava jehero ziro stradai.

78
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: Yet he also had to care for the family field,

79
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,240
where the harvest was so weak that suffering loomed.

80
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:55,279
Speaker 1: Otets Miroslav Bilspriri slabi ab orat as.

81
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,639

84
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: He handed these duties over to Yakoop, placing more weight

85
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,639
on his shoulders than he was accustomed to.

86
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:25,600

Speaker 4: A.

89
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,959
Speaker 3: Premature frost had destroyed most of the harvest, leaving an

90
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,679
increasing anxiety within yakuup al.

91
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: M ladi sed lac viegel jemus u lat.

92
00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: But the young farmer knew he had to do something.

93
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,399
Speaker 1: Rosodo s dolesa za Vesnitzi.

94
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,759
Speaker 3: He decided to go to the forest beyond the village.

95
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:56,799
Speaker 1: Dam g del chi farmai vigili and nebespechi yakup tu

98
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:10,919
Speaker 3: Where other farmers saw only danger, Yakub sensed the possibility

99
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000
of finding fruits and mushrooms that could bring fortune and

100
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,840
abundance for the festival.

101
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Posledni pa preskidn zavchilri horeda ni yeho ko schebyri napuna

103
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,399
Speaker 3: The last rays of the day concluded his search. His

104
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,759
baskets filled more than he could have hoped.

105
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: Den slav nos tiprichrichli nessesdalo mozhne.

106
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,399
Speaker 3: The day of the festival came faster than seemed possible.

00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:48,879
Speaker 1: Vesnichen seshazel nanam yi sti stang kibri bavni de korazi

109
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: The villagers gathered in the square. Stalls were full of

110
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:00,960
colorful decorations, and the the air was filled with the

111
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,519
scent of freshly baked bread.

112
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: Yea couprichels daries Lessa nervos nisto ya ki ostatnimo.

113
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: Yakup arrived with gifts from the forest, nervous about how

114
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,440
others would receive them.

115
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Povs buggiloo prishevigil yaxil debro avai ulovec.

116
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: He was encouraged when he saw people taking and praising

117
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
his findes.

118
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: Nebil tooen halat sobiro Ukoeno Bella to Nagier.

119
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't just hunger that was satisfied.

00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,519
Speaker 5: It was hope, paspatil Elisco. Then he saw Arisca ye

122
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,039
Speaker 3: Her smile seemed to brighten the whole winter that was

123
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,240
creeping into the village.

124
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:05,039
Speaker 1: Yea cups postavilceilim tiki Reveari.

125
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: Yacoup faced her, feeling a warm grip in his chest.

Speaker 1: Elisco Zachel Slova, semorros La Ziazicael Nato Biezzalgi.

127
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: Arisca. He began words tumbling from his tongue. I want

128
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:24,279

129
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: You, Eliska, mala Okami nadi Anna padne Crassi.

130
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,639
Speaker 3: Arisca smiled, a moment full of quiet hope and subtle beauty.

00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: Emna Nato biezzale Gi yakube o ale pevne.

132
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: I care about you too, Yacoup, she replied, gently but firmly.

133
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Then okamjikrish listi sustiro po nohama tanchici venu yakup posnal

Jeriskova spi.

135
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: In that moment, as leaves rustled under the feet of

136
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,000
dancing villagers, Yukuup realized that taking risks can sometimes pay off.

137
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,759
Speaker 1: Vieho sersisbili and clit odvaa prodnipid.

138
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,080

141
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,279
Speaker 3: The village was warm and full of ringing laughter, ready

142
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,279
to face the winter with newfound strength.

143
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:42,440

146
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:55,320
effort could turn even the weakest harvest into abundant prosperity.

147
