<v Speaker 3>Estevan, a young man with a kind heart but a

67
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 3>bit clumsy, wanted to surprise his family in the annual

00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 3>In a hurry, he stored the box in his bag

79
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 3>and headed home.

<v Speaker 3>But upon opening the box, the pieces began to break

85
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 3>at the slightest touch.

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Desperate, he called his friend Marisol, hoping her ingenious mind

91
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 3>could help him.

95
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.920

98
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.920

109
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 3>piece of abstract art than a traditional gingerbread house.
