2:01Together, we can keep the world's stories flowing. In the middle of the road, the journey is far away from what you can see. The light is far away from what you can see in the sun, the stars and the sun. Johan Annelie in Peterstand is in the Cross of Strasse. Johan has always felt the same way before. Come with us at the cross of Strasse. See Johan with the glimpses. He discovers a chance to enter the magic of Annelie. Annelie is still in the Cross of Strasse. But I'm not going anywhere.

The cross of Annelie clicks into his Cross of Strasse, hoping to stay fortes. The face is neutral, he is latitude to travel through the Cross of Strasse. When the sun is set, it is the light of the starry sky, which is the light of the starry sky. With the last spring, when the sun is set, the starry sky is the night star, the heart is still the light of the star and its wings are a bit too bright. In the night, it is only a bit too bright, four stars of light are shining at a certain unexpected light. Let's take another listen!

5:30Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. In the middle of the caroo, a farm stretches as far as the eye can see. The air is fresh and clear in the fall, and the sun sets slowly over the horizon. Johan Annelie impedes stauntes in die grue trope fulstreise. Johan and Lai and Peter stand among the large flock of ostriches. Johan altered ful brafode stelt die Idee fuhr. Johan always full of bravado proposes an idea. Kommun's haue fulstreiseresis sei Johan met de chlemlach. Let's have an ostrich race, says Johan with a grin.

6:38He sees it as a chance to impress N Lai. N Lai smiles mischievously and says, OK, but I'm going to add a few rules. Every time the ostrich turns left, you have to sing Johan. Peter rolls his eyes and realizes that he couldn't escape this. He is more interested in the big birds themselves. Kommun's ne net keiku alle etni frappiter ter weileye fulstreisernextriel. Can't we just watch the meat? Asks Peter as he strokes an ostriches neck.

7:39Johan lach saal forsiekert. Johan laughs confident. No, our race, what do you say, Peter, are you in? With a sigh, Peter gives in. With a sigh, Peter gives in. And so the three friends find themselves each on an ostrich, ready for this impulsive adventure. The field is dry and full of dust, but the excitement is palpable. Opio marki gheriet af rupe anneli eit in the fulstreiser spatvach pienne scarol underelle.

8:42On your marks get set go, calls out N Lai and the ostriches dash away legs scurrying beneath them. Johan secl van die Beginn af. Johan struggles from the start. Sei fulstreiser hei se kuppelt. His ostrich tosses its head wildly. Every time it turns left, Johan awkwardly sings la la la sounds, despite the rule N Lai suggested. Anneli blei reich hop in kalam sus en meto fulstreiser. N Lai stays upright in calm, as one with her ostrich. Peter, quieter and slower, only glances back occasionally to see Johan's fumbling.

9:46Skillig reich Johan se fulstreiser scurbrachs in Johan hang on for she lieve. Suddenly, Johan's ostrich jerks sharply right, and Johan clings on for his life. Anneli's crowing laughter echoes across the field, as her ostrich consistently stays ahead. The finish line is near. Anneli charges forward, her bird with purposeful strides ahead of everyone. Peter excuses himself at the side, relieved that his ostrich hasn't decided to take its own course.

10:55With the final leap and Lai wins the race. Johan's fulstreiser blei echter nistelstani, dit hart l'obnuch, Johan blei an se fere claw in skaterlach. Johan's ostrich, however, doesn't stop. It keeps running and Johan clings to its feathers, laughing apporiously. After finally getting off safely, Johan dusts off his clothes and begins to laugh uncontrollably. Well, I still have a lot to learn, he shouts. Anneli smiles and says it's not always about winning but about having fun.

11:58The race is over, but Johan and Lai and Peter have a story they can laugh about for a long time. The carousel still offers its loving embrace and the sun sets peacefully behind the hills.
