that the audience has created.

Ivan is sitting on one of the most important

schools in the world,

Ivan is sitting on one of the clubs from the school, he is thinking of looking at the building

in the area of ​​the forest of Benichnota.

After the nature of this introspective, Ivan is in the age of the birth of a child who

is born as a child of his own creativity, but now he is sitting on the fourth floor of the

living room.

talent show was over at the moment to show his original song, but all the way to

help the public to get rid of it.

He asked himself whether the forest of Benichnota is the only forest of Benichnota,

which is the most understanding of it, or are they laughing at each other?

The forest of Benichnota is the most understanding of the forest of Benichnota.

At first glance, the forest of Benichnota was all that was not popular, and it was actually

the best friendship between them.

But he had a secret that he did not want to share, he wanted to write a poem.

The forest of the forest that he wrote, he was afraid of the people.

But when he heard that Ivan Brinoslične Stvari, he heard it from his own comfort.

The day of the audition was almost done.

The forest of Benichnota was filled with laughter and laughter,

until the students of those who were preparing for the next stage.

Ivan was waiting for his order, the heart that was falling in love,

fighting with thoughts.

Mateo, the owner of the forest of Benichnota,

decided to teach him something about Ivan.

I heard it from the first.

He told him that Mateo came to the hospital, taking care of all of his loved ones.

He went to the hospital for the first time.

Mateo was taking care of the forest of Benichnota.

While he was resting, he began to reciting his poetry,

reading the book of the Oryek, about the spiritual training and training of the inner world.

The audience was smiling, the audience was listening,

the voice of the artist who showed it to him.

Mateo came back to the top of the forest,

and he met a friend of his eight-year-old friend.

Now he is your father, and he is a doctor.

The owner of the forest of Benichnota,

Ivan went to the hospital.

His hands were shaking,

but when he began to sing the first chord of his song,

he began to sing freely.

The sound of the voice and the guitar were singing together,

creating a training session with the audience.

and the engineers reached the heart of those who listened to it.

gazing thoughtfully at a notebook

filled with musical notes.

After the nature of the tea introspective,

Ivana is in a hurry to start

to express her creativity.

But now she is sitting on the fourth floor

in the living room.

Naturally quiet and introspective,

Ivana always sought ways to express her creativity,

but now she felt a nod of nervousness in her stomach.

The talent show was over at the moment

when she saw her original song,

but her whole path would be mixed

to the audience,

so it would be a dream.

The talent show was the perfect opportunity

to perform her original song,

but every time she thought about the audience,

stage fright overcame her.

She wondered if her unique musical style

would be understood,

or if she would be laughed at.

Mateo carefully observed her emotions

as he walked past her.

At first glance,

Mateo was everything she wasn't,

popular and loudly laughing among friends.

But he had a secret that he didn't want to share,

he loved writing poetry.

But he had a secret he didn't want to share,

It was a passion he hid,

fearing judgment.

But when he heard that Ivana was worried

Mateo's performance ended with warm applause,

and he remembered the friendly smiles of his peers.

Looking at Ivana, Mateo encouraged her with a nod.

Now it's your turn, he said.

Strengthened by Mateo's boldness, Ivana went to the stage.

His hands were shaking,

but when he began to listen to the first chords of his song,

he felt free.

The sound of the guitar and the guitar were playing together,

creating the train of the train with the audience.

Ivana beamed with excitement,

realizing that her music could touch others.

Mateo greeted her offstage with a smile.

It was clear that they both had achieved their goal.

Ivana and Mateo left the hall with increased confidence.

and Mateo discovered that his authenticity

would increase to make it possible for him.

while Mateo discovered that authenticity

brings more than he could ever imagine.
