Elena, Ivan and Petya are crossing the edge of the middle of the road. This is the only day to collect all the necessary information before the next election to continue of the unknown. Here, far away, we do not have time for trouble. Elena knows well how to get to the ground. The brain, the water, the fuel of the air. The main thing is to strengthen. The spirit of the craft with various batteries and fenders.

4:22Do you like it? Pita Tiana Glas, Petya Kima, and Ivan Svivarameneh. In the soul of Elena, the heart is broken. If we say this, we must put something else. Ivan and Petya begin to gather blood. Tihu, but on the table. Elena keeps a list of secrets of writing. In Petya, it is difficult to trace a single piece of fabric. From all over the city of Nesta, which is important to you. And if the next time is exactly what you need? I think so. But somehow there is a lot of water in it. Until it comes closer to the story, Elena is still as beautiful as a star and a short star in the mountains. The heart of this short piece of fabric.

5:23Did you take it correctly? Did you take everything you need? But I remember, according to Babasi, the best thing is that the best thing is to believe in yourself at the time of security. This is the peace of mind. It is said that you are the one who took it from you. Some expensive luxury articles are made. For me, the essence of the mixture from the foreign language and the bottles of water. We warmly give the rest and put something expensive for Babasi. We put it in place for the rest of the body of the security. From the distance of the continuation, the limit is close to the bottom of the bunker. Elena feels as if the meaning of the fabric is leaving its self-confidence. She knows that she has sent the best way for the rest of the body. The pieces of fabric are in long corridors.

6:23We can fly here, but for the rest of the time everything is still safe. But she, Elena, says in her own book. Let's take another listen, listen closely to any parts you may have missed. In the depths of the earth, little light pierces through the thick walls of the secret bunker. Elena, Ivana and Patia cry out in the middle of the night. Elena Ivana, Ampeke walk quickly among the dusty shelves. They have only one day to gather everything necessary before the next spring to continue into the unknown.

7:24Down here, there is no time to waste. It was well what they need to take. Can goods, water, warm blankets? The basics for survival. She stops in front of a shelf with various batteries and flashlights. Do we need this? She asks aloud. Peca nods, but she want to shrug her shoulders. In Elena has sold out whispers.

8:29If she takes more of one thing, she has to leave something else behind. Ivana and Patia start gathering food. Quietly, yet persistently. Elena holds a small slip of paper with their brief list. Even so, it is difficult to follow such a narrow plan. She is surrounded by things that seem important. What if later this is exactly what we needed? She thinks.

9:31But some deep feeling guides her. As they approach the checkout, Elena feels her determination sway like a boat in a storm. Her heart beats fast. Did I choose correctly? Did I take everything necessary? But she remembers her grandmother's voice whispering, best to trust yourself in times of uncertainty. This comes her.

10:35At the checkout, she sees the row of items she has gathered. Some small luxury items have been left behind, replaced with more cereal mixes and bottles of water. She takes a deep breath and leaves something small behind to make room for another box of food. With assigned duties, the three go deeper into the bunker. Elena feels the doubt retreat, leaving only confidence.

11:41She knows she has done the best for their survival. There steps echo in the long corridors. Spring may be here, but for them time still remains uncertain. But now Elena has faith in herself like never before. Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break. President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you.
