Story Transcript:
Ro: Buburuzele roșii zburdau veselite pe cerul albastru al unui frumos început de primăvară la Muzeul Național al Satului Dimitrie Gusti.
En: The red ladybugs frolicked joyfully in the blue sky of a beautiful early spring at the Muzeul Național al Satului Dimitrie Gusti.
Ro: Ionel, cu emoție în suflet, se pregătea să o impresioneze pe Ana.
En: Ionel, with excitement in his heart, was preparing to impress Ana.
Ro: Acesta era prilejul perfect, în mijlocul tradițiilor românești, în timpul sărbătorii de Mărțișor.
En: This was the perfect occasion, amidst Romanian traditions, during the Mărțișor celebration.
Ro: „Ana, știi că tradițiile noastre au mare însemnătate? În casa asta de lemn se făceau mărțișoare, simboluri ale primăverii”, începu Ionel, sperând că fermecătoarea companie îi va admira cunoștințele.
En: "Ana, do you know that our traditions have great significance? In this wooden house, mărțișoare were made, symbols of spring," began Ionel, hoping that the charming company would admire his knowledge.
Ro: Ana râdea, bucuroasă să afle mai multe, dar nu lua lucrurile foarte în serios.
En: Ana laughed, happy to learn more, but didn't take things too seriously.
Ro: Dintr-o dată, Mihai își făcu apariția, zâmbind cu toată fața.
En: Suddenly, Mihai appeared, smiling broadly.
Ro: „Oau! Ce fain! Deci, aici se făceau mărțișoare magice?”, întrebă el, glumeț.
En: "Wow! How cool! So, magical mărțișoare were made here?" he asked, playfully.
Ro: Ionel își ascuți atenția. „Ei bine, Mihai, nu chiar magice, dar foarte speciale sigur erau!”, răspunse el rapid, încercând să nu își piardă concentrarea.
En: Ionel sharpened his attention. "Well, Mihai, not exactly magical, but they were certainly very special!" he replied quickly, trying not to lose his focus.
Ro: Pe parcursul zilei, Ionel explica cum, odinioară, țesătorii lucrau la războiul de țesut.
En: Throughout the day, Ionel explained how, once upon a time, weavers worked at the loom.
Ro: Mihai, cu un aer curios, întrebă: „Ionel, nu mi se pare că războiul de țesut e atât de vechi? Pare modern.”
En: Mihai, with a curious air, asked, "Ionel, doesn't the loom seem that old? It looks modern."
Ro: Ionel roși ușor și își drese vocea.
En: Ionel blushed slightly and cleared his throat.
Ro: „Sigur, sigur. Este doar un exemplu. Uite, să mergem la cioplitorul în lemn!”
En: "Sure, sure. It's just an example. Look, let's go to the wood carver!"
Ro: Însă Mihai nu rata ocazia să mai adauge: „Asta de acolo e un topor, sau poate o unealtă extraterestră?”
En: But Mihai didn't miss the chance to add, "Is that over there an ax, or maybe an extraterrestrial tool?"
Ro: Până aici, parcursul lor fusese un amestec de informații amuzante și încercări de a menține o față serioasă din partea lui Ionel.
En: So far, their journey had been a mix of amusing information and attempts to maintain a serious face by Ionel.
Ro: Într-un moment dramatic și decisiv al turului, Ionel se opri în fața unui obiect din curte.
En: In a dramatic and decisive moment of the tour, Ionel stopped in front of an object in the yard.
Ro: „Acesta... Este un simbol important al... Tradiției... Uh...”
En: "This... is an important symbol of... tradition... Uh..."
Ro: Mihai interveni din nou, rotindu-și ochii prin muzeu.
En: Mihai intervened again, rolling his eyes through the museum.
Ro: „Ionel, frate, e doar o bancă modernă! Artisticele noastre bănci tradiționale sunt mai departe!”, spuse el râzând.
En: "Ionel, brother, it's just a modern bench! Our artistic traditional benches are further along!" he said laughing.
Ro: Ionel izbucni în râs, alături de Ana și Mihai.
En: Ionel burst out laughing, along with Ana and Mihai.
Ro: Atmosfera devenise dintr-odată călduroasă și mai puțin formală.
En: The atmosphere suddenly became warm and less formal.
Ro: „Bine, m-am predat. Voi sunteti mai buni la asta decât mine!”, admise Ionel, ridicând mâinile în semn de capitulare.
En: "Alright, I surrender. You guys are better at this than I am!" admitted Ionel, raising his hands in surrender.
Ro: Ana îl privi cu simpatie pe Ionel.
En: Ana looked at Ionel with sympathy.
Ro: „Nu-ți face griji. M-am distrat de minune astăzi. Data viitoare, să lăsăm misterul să ne surprindă împreună.”
En: "Don't worry. I had a lot of fun today. Next time, let's let the mystery surprise us together."
Ro: Ionel surâse, realizând că în fond, sinceritatea și râsul aduc oamenii mai aproape și sunt mult mai prețioase decât orice pretenție.
En: Ionel smiled, realizing that, in the end, sincerity and laughter bring people closer and are much more precious than any pretense.
Ro: Sub florile maiestuase ale cireșilor, cei trei au plecat din muzeu, pregătiți să descopere noi aventuri, cu promisiunea unei prietenii și mai strânse.
En: Under the majestic cherry blossoms, the three of them left the museum, ready to discover new adventures, with the promise of an even closer friendship.

In the middle of the Roman tradition. In the early days of the March of S.S.S. Anna, you know that our traditions are not too bad. In the house of Lemn, a dead man, symbol of the first real, young man, I hope that your company will know you. Anna Rydia, a rich man, but he is not very serious. From a date, Mihai is with Parizia, together with all her doings. Wow! What a fine! So, you have to make a magic wish. It is in between her and Gloomitz. It is in her sixth attention. It is good, Mihai is not magic, but very special. The answer is repeat. Try not to lose concentration. On Zilei's course, I will explain to you how to make a wish.
Mihai, with a curious heart, together with her. I do not know how to make a wish. It is modern. It is in her sixth and sixth attention. Sure, sure. It is a true example. Look, let's go to the library. In Mihai, in a strange occasion, today, is it a dream? Or is it possible to have another extraterrestrial? Yes, here. Parcursus was a mixture of amusing information and tried to create a series of theories about her. In a dramatic and decisive moment, her first object was created. This is a very important symbol. Tradition. Oh! Mihai intervened in a new, rotating show in the museum.
Yonel, brother, is a modern bank. Our traditional bank artists are more of a part. It is, I think, a dream. Yonel is a book named Riz. It is a tour de Anna and Mihai. The atmosphere has come from the inside, a warm, red, and more informal. Well, I have given you. You are the best at this moment. Yonel's soul. It is when the moon is in the capitol. She has the bond with her son, Pionel. She doesn't know what to do. I have a lot of doubts about her. She gives her life, to let her wife not to be surprised by one. Yonel's soul. It is made in the bottom. It is made in the heart of the human soul and it is much more precious than any other. The flowers are more precious to the stars and the stars.
This is the third shop of the museum. It is designed to discover new adventures, with the permission of a friend and a sister. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The flowers and the red flowers are beautiful, but they are not as beautiful as the first time in the National Museum of the Satole of Mitre Gusti. The red ladybugs frolic joyfully in the blue sky in the beautiful early spring at the Museum National Al-Satului Dimitri Gusti. Yonel, who is a mother in the sun, is impressed by the stars. Ionel, with excitement in his heart, was preparing to impress Anna. This was the perfect privilege. In the middle of the Roman tradition, in the time of the Serbatori of Marchissor. This was the perfect occasion amidst Romanian traditions during the Mardister celebration.

She was born in the early spring, in the early spring, in the early spring, hoping that she would meet her friends and admire her acquaintances.
