Music

At the end of the street,

among the average birds with surrounded flowers,

is a millenium, a self-proclaimed master.

Proletje is the corner of Belgrade,

and the world of fresh food and water.

The streets are narrow,

and the living area is protected in the jungle,

until clean and ready to create.

The millenium has made the morning look like a shopping channel.

It was the Eclama of the new satellite antenna

that was supposed to be installed on the roof.

I believe in my belief that I am not ready for a master,

it turns out that it is necessary to come to a conclusion in the future.

Until the sepia on the roof of its corner,

the village of Yelena and Boryska are looking at their faces.

Yelena knows the body of the world,

and Borys will be sent to the garden.

The millenium starts to work,

but the millenium is still falling on the roof

that is not much prepared for the millenium.

The millenium is not helping you.

The millenium with a smile.

I know this more than the millenium is believed,

and in it, the eyes of the eyes are filled with the discovery

of those who came from the same experience.

But it is a very important thing.

The millenium is placed on the roof on the roof of the roof.

The lights fall under the chimney,

creating the right to the tree,

and the millenium will soon fall from the roof.

There is a lot of fire,

the fire is being extinguished.

The miracle is the satellite antenna in the right direction.

The neighbors and the neighbors who bought the eyes of the millenium

bought the eyes of the millenium.

The millenium, as it is a small studio,

has been replaced.

The antenna is finished.

What is Borys doing?

Borys is looking at the millenium,

and Yelena has given it to me a couple of fallen leaves.

The millenium starts to fall on the roof,

dying of itself,

and the path and the path of the path.

However, it is hard to imagine

being in the middle of the tower,

and the neighbors also had one more thing

that you have to worry about.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

On the edge of the street,

the middle of the kitchen,

the surrounding lights,

the millenium is placed on the roof.

At the end of the street,

among the neat little houses surrounded by flower gardens,

lives Milan,

a self-proclaimed handyman.

Spring has arrived in Belgrade,

and the scent of freshly cut grass fills the air.

The streets are narrow,

and the living room is still in the garden.

The streets are narrow,

and the neighbors' lives are bustling

as they clean and tidy their yards.

Milan's run and every morning

is looking for shopping channel.

Milan spent the morning watching a TV shopping channel.

Milan spent the morning watching a TV shopping channel.

It was the new customer shop

that now came up to install the roof.

It was a new shop that now has already fallen.

It was an advertisement for a new satellite dish that he now wants to install on his roof.

Confident in his do-it-yourself skills, he decided to take on the task without reading the instructions.

As he climbed onto his house's roof, neighbors Yelena and Boris watched him from their gardens.

Yelena was carrying a basket of flowers and Boris was fixing the fence.

Milan began working, but his tools kept falling on the roofing tiles that his sure-foot had clumsily arranged.

Yelena called out with a smile.

Now, I know this better, Milan replied confidently, though his voice carried a hint of concern that only experience could overcome.

But then, due to a lack of attention, Milan accidentally snagged the string of flower pots placed on the roof.

The flowers fell like dominoes, creating a real mess, and Milan almost fell off the roof.

With great effort, he managed to cling to the house.

He connected the satellite dish in the right direction.

Neighbors and passers-by who had gathered laughed out loud.

Milan, though slightly embarrassed, smiled contentedly.

The dish worked perfectly.

As Boris said, at least you made us laugh, Yelena said while handing him some of the fallen tools.

Milan was leaving the roof, dying in itself, maybe following the path and taking the path.

However, it was hard to get into the middle of the tower, and the neighbors had one more thing they wanted to do.

Still, he secretly agreed that it was nice to be the center of attention, and the neighbors

had yet another story to tell for a long time.
