Speaker 4: Esprit but no. A bright idea, inspired by the beauty

107
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,000
of the garden and the boldness that sometimes lies dormant

108
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,960
within him, sprouts in his mind.

109
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: Idi si don mares s citur.

110
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,279

00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,720

00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 4: His costume serves as a pretext to talk about the

128
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:55,600
importance of bees and pollination, explaining how they contribute to

129
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,879
the beauty and survival of the plants around them.

Speaker 4: Gradually he captures everyone's attention, even Lucia, who stops chuckling

133
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:16,080

135
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:26,519
Speaker 4: When Emil finishes, there is a silence followed by a

136
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,360
round of applause.

137
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,399

142
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:57,399
Speaker 4: His colleagues, inspired by his creativity and passion, unanimously decide

143
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,159
to grant him the much desired funding.

144
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:07,039
Speaker 1: Tito and Fando Emile leaving the garden.

145
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, Emil has a light heart.

148
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: He has learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes embracing one's mistakes

149
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:25,759
can lead to unexpected successes.

Speaker 4: And as the fallen leaves continue to dance around him,

154
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Emil now knows that, like bees, he can turn life's

155
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,519
small imperfections into something beautiful and fruitful.

156
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,440
