Jis dingo!", – pasakė jis pagalvojęs.En: "The cake! It's gone!" he says after thinking.Lt: Visos trys galvos nukrypsta į virtuvę, kur ant stalo nieko neliko, tik trupiniai.En: All three heads turn to the kitchen, where only crumbs remain on the table.Lt: Staiga jie pamato voverę, laikančią pyrago gabalą.En: Suddenly, they see a squirrel holding a piece of cake.Lt: Voverė yra gudri ir greita, o kai rūpnūs Gedimino bandymai ją nuvyti nesėkmingi, jis gauna idėją.En: The squirrel is clever and quick, and when Gediminas's careful attempts to chase it away fail, he gets an idea.Lt: "Man reikia pasipuošti! Užgavėnės naktis vis tiek ypatinga", – nusprendžia jis.En: "I need to dress up! The night of Užgavėnės is special anyway," he decides.Lt: Gediminas apsivelka seną, didžiulį paltą ir baisią, didelę kaukę.En: Gediminas puts on an old, oversized coat and a scary, large mask.Lt: Jis atrodo tarsi kažkas iš siaubo pasakojimo.En: He looks like something out of a horror story.Lt: Jis triukšmingai įsiveržia į virtuvę, grasindamas juoku išgąsdinti voverę.En: He bursts into the kitchen noisily, threatening to scare away the squirrel with laughter.Lt: Voverė, nustebusi ir neatsilikdama, staiga pašoka ant sietyno.En: The squirrel, surprised and undeterred, suddenly jumps onto the chandelier.Lt: Pyrago gabaliukai pasklinda aplink kaip šokoladinis lietaus debesis.En: Cake pieces scatter around like a chocolate rain cloud.Lt: "Oi!", – Jurgis juokiasi ir Ruta sušunka: "Mes dar galime jį surinkti!".En: "Oh!" Jurgis laughs, and Ruta shouts, "We can still gather it!"Lt: Jie surenka pyrago gabalus ir, nors pyragas nebėra tobulas, jie juokiasi.En: They collect the cake pieces, and even though the cake is no longer perfect, they laugh.Lt: Kabina pilna juoko.En: The cabin is full of laughter.Lt: Gediminas supranta, kad svarbiausia yra juoktis ir švęsti drauge.En: Gediminas realizes that the most important thing is to laugh and celebrate together.Lt: Trieji dalinasi likučiais, gerdami karštą arbatą ir pasakodami Užgavėnių istorijas.En: The three of them share the leftovers, drinking hot tea and telling stories of the Užgavėnės.Lt: Sniegas nebėra problema, o trobelėje nuolat išliks jų pačių kurtas šilumas ir juoko aidai.En: The snow is no longer a problem, and the warmth and echoes of laughter they created themselves will always remain in the cabin.

Using the comprehensible input approach, the podcast helps you gradually expand your vocabulary and develop real understanding of Lithuanian step by step. Jewish Children (Yudishe Kinder) by Sholem Aleichem Loyal Books Although written from a child’s perspective, this is not a kids book but a series of funny, poignant, and sometimes disturbing stories about life in a late 19th-century Russian-Jewish village — the world of my grandparents. Sholem Rabinovich (1859-1916) was born in Pereiaslav, Ukraine and later immigrated to New York. His short stories about Tevye and his daughters were freely adapted into the musical FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Rabinovich’s will contained the following injunction: “Let my name be recalled with laughter or not at all.” His translator, Hannah Berman, was Irish of Lithuanian descent.Some of these stories may be too intense for younger children. LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD Raminta and Jack Lithuanian Out Loud is a podcast series designed for students of the Lithuanian language.
