The sun of the spring is shining

on the 12th of May.

The music of the artists of Russe Melaire

in the anime discussion.

The colors live,

the joyous and the delicious odeurs

surrounded by the melody,

but they were not added.

They wanted to find something really original.

They stopped at first before a painting stand.

The colors are clear and the landscapes

of Paris were magnificent,

but a little too expensive for their budget.

The melody is heard in the painter and continues to research.

Then, they find poetry,

delicacies and texts in the motifs and labores,

but no one seemed just to cry.

In front of an artisan stand,

it is the divine soulful soul

that makes plays.

Curious and approach.

Hello.

Your plays are very beautiful,

say and say in search of the colliers

and brush their exposés.

Thank you, my dear,

answer the artisan with heat.

I make everything from a recycled material.

Every piece is a story.

The melody was immediately captivated.

It examines a collier that seemed to come out of the ordinary.

It was a pendant,

the price of the past of its budget.

The melody is ita,

refreshing with high voice.

It is a little more expensive than planned,

but it is so perfect.

The creative feel is itation.

The melody is the most beautiful,

but it is so perfect.

The creative feel is itation.

The melody is the most beautiful,

but it is so perfect.

The creative feel is itation.

For you,

I'm not a girl,

I am ready to make a little gesture.

I want this collier to find a good job.

Touched by the gentiles of the artisan,

the melody accepts the offer with gratitude and pay for the collier.

In the starting of the market,

the gift in a nice box,

it felt that this purchase was much more than a simple object.

The story and the connection with the artisan

had given a particular value to the collier.

The melody was brought back to its satisfaction,

ready to offer and pay for this precious bijou,

enriched by a beautiful story.

It had taken care of the price,

it is often the stories and the relations

that give their all their precious objects.

It was taken by my mother,

the melody had found much more than a gift.

It had discovered a new sound on the art of the dedicated.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

The spring sun gently warmed the cobblestones

of the lively Cartier of Montmartre.

A lodi, an art student,

wandered among the colorful stalls of the market.

She was searching for a special gift

for Chloe's birthday, her best friend.

It was a perfect morning to discover hidden treasures.

A lodi, with a budget,

she remained still generous.

A lodi was on a tight budget,

but had a generous heart.

Always amazed by artistic creations,

she knew that Montmartre was overflowing with unique talents.

The music, the artists of Rousseau,

made their way to the animated discussion.

The music of street performers mixed with lively conversations.

Des couleurs vive, des sons joyeux,

et des odeurs délicieuses entouré l'audit,

mais elle n'était pas crécée.

Bright colors, joyful sounds,

and delicious smells surrounded a lodi,

but she was in no rush.

Elle voulait trouver quelque chose de vraiment original.

She wanted to find something truly original.

She first stopped in front of a painting stand.

Les couleurs éclatantes et les paysages de Paris étaient magnifiques,

mais un peu trop cher pour son budget.

The vibrant colors and landscapes of Paris were beautiful,

but a bit too expensive for her budget.

A lodi smiled at the painter and continued her search.

Further on, she found delicate pottery and textiles with elaborate patterns,

but none seemed right for Chloe.

As she passed by a craft stand,

a lodi saw a smiling lady crafting jewelry.

Curieuse et s'approcha.

Curieuse, she approached.

Hello.

Your jewelry is very beautiful,

said a lodi, observing the necklaces and bracelets on display.

Thank you, my dear, replied the artisan warmly.

I make everything from recycled materials.

Every piece has a story.

A lodi was immediately captivated.

Elle examina un collier qui semblait sortir de l'ordinaire.

She examined a necklace that seemed out of the ordinary.

It was a luminous pendant appearing to dance in the light,

made of stained glass and finely intertwined metal.

Il était parfait pour cloyer qui adorait les créations l'unit et respectueuse de l'environnement.

It was perfect for Chloe, who loved unique and environmentally friendly creations.

Cependant, le prix dépassait de peu son budget.

However, the price slightly exceeded her budget.

Elle l'audit hésita, réfléchissant à voir haute.

A lodi hesitated, thinking aloud.

It's a bit more expensive than I planned,

but it's so perfect, the creator sensed her hesitation.

For you young lady, I'm willing to make a small gesture.

Je veux que ce collier trouve un bon foyer.

I want this necklace to find a good home.

Touched by the artisan's kindness,

a lodi gratefully accepted the offer and paid for the necklace.

As she left the market, the gift in a pretty box,

she felt that this purchase was far more than just an object.

The story and connection with the artisan had given the necklace a special value.

A lodi returned home satisfied, ready to give Chloe this precious piece of jewelry,

enriched by a beautiful story.

She had learned that beyond the price,

it is often the stories and relationships that give precious objects their true meaning.

She had learned that beyond the price,

the stories and relationships that give precious objects their true meaning.

This spring in Mon Mottra,

a lodi had found much more than a gift.

She had discovered a new lesson about the art of giving in heart.
