64
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 5: Elise and Jewels walked in silence, their hands buried in

65
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,319
the pockets of their like coats Le.

68
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,399
Speaker 5: Their steps led them to their grandmother's favorite cafe, a

69
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,399
familiar refuge in this lively corner of Paris.

70

00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: Le cafe Lesfleur's di'avril was a charming place, with wrought

73
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,680
iron tables set outside, overlooking the cobblestone streets.

76
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,079
Speaker 5: In the distance, an accordion could be heard, and the

77
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,480
air was filled with the smell of fresh coffee and

78
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,879
budding flowers.

79
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: Arived vold caeffe Elise ficigna sen fre de sas soi.

80
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 5: Arriving in front of the cafe, Elise motioned for her

00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,319
brother to sit down. Sen Roger su bortainnnstn sole ches

83
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,319
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the empty chair

84
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,680
where their grandmother used to sit to watch them play.

85
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,879
Speaker 1: El prien proufun naspiracium a preen d'anque cue poussume.

86
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 5: She took a deep breath, somewhat dreading this moment.

87
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:14,879
Speaker 1: Jeu ju croquseticillos sou souvenir del de resentmon.

88
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: Jules, I think this is the right place to remember her,

89
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,639
said Alise, trembling slightly.

90
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Jeannereponsi petru de suit.

91
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: Jules didn't respond immediately.

92
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Siseeu su per del re dita dite ficicire ven de

93

94
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,759
Speaker 5: His eyes wandered over the details of the cafe he

95
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:38,120
had drawn so many times.

96
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,439
Speaker 1: Eire rossente, la perte forte mon and poor constans sa petrine.

97
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: He felt the loss deeply, a constant weight on his chest.

98
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:56,720
En fan he roderda, says sir Cherson de Moud. Finally,

99
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,000
he looked at his sister, searching for words.

100
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:06,639
Speaker 1: Pourn poule si lance, elise sourtien lull grandmere d'r relier.

101
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,959
Speaker 5: To break the silence, Elise took out an old book

102
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,120
their grandmother loved.

103
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:15,839
Speaker 1: To read, Elleu pres du semnsur let table.

104
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 5: She placed it gently on the table ponan qui.

Speaker 1: Sierro te la boissoncheud jiulouvri lu live.

106
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:29,519
Speaker 5: As they sipped their hot drinks, Jewels opened the book.

107
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Entre du pages yitrouvain de sanchia veto ferra sa Grandmeier.

108
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,919
Speaker 5: Between two pages he found a drawing he had given

109
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,200
to his grandmother.

110
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Cetetain portredelle sourien lisieu peitien de jois.

111
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,519
Speaker 5: It was a portrait of her, smiling, her eyes sparkling

112
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,240
with joy, La.

113
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Di couverte did saint de clanchine vagues desmousion che jou.

114
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: The discovery of the drawing triggered a wave of emotion

115
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:02,919
in Jewels.

116
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Suiseeu son vier yevnquipiere selame iricreta sint ru.

117
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: His eyes welled up, and before he could hold back

118
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,759
his tears, he burst into sobs.

119
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Elise touche parson chauve sonti son cercuficiuri.

120
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: Elise touched by his grief and her own that she

121
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,960
had held back for so long felt her heart break.

122
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Etni le man e sierra forte monsell de ju.

123
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 5: She reached out and tightly squeezed Jules's hand and.

124
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: Nou montetuli du ne mire tl avec.

Speaker 4: Vois brisi.

126
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 5: We both miss her, She murmured with a broken voice.

127
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:59,039
Speaker 1: Sus saint pregeste sae tou vertuere mier jiu de santier

128

te lasselles.

129
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,879
Speaker 5: This simple gesture, this opening, allowed Jules to feel that

130
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,759
he was not alone.

131
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: Enseme ievou per de souvenirs, disap remi di passier couti

134
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,279
Speaker 5: Together. They recalled memories afternoons spent listening to stories, bursts

135
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,279
of laughter, and the scent of buttery cookies their grandmother

136
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:30,919
used to bake.

137
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:36,000

139
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 5: Time passed slowly, but the pain of morning seemed to

140
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:47,440
gradually give way to a gentle nostalgia.

141
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,159

144
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: Amid the streams of tears and timid laughter. Elise understood

145
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:06,759
that opening her heart was the first step to bringing

146
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,759
jewels closer to.

147
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:13,279

149
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,879
Speaker 5: As they left the cafe, the spring sun seemed brighter

150
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,159
and their bonds stronger.

151
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Ise recusieur sou cheman de souvenir de partege yite passel.

152
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: They knew that on this path of memory and sharing,

153
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,200
they were not alone.

154
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Iite ton soon infernitu jour maigri la pert.

155
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:44,519
Speaker 5: They were together, a family still despite the.

158
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 5: And so they moved forward, hand in hand, carried by

159
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,080
the warmth of memories and the renewal of a beautiful

160
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,320
spring day in Monmattra.

161
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.

162
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:21,000
Here are today's vocabulary words, first in French, then in English.

163
