bright hopes in Milda’s heart.Lt: Šiandien ji pradės naują nuotykį – biodiverziteto projektas toli nuo Lietuvos, šioje tankioje tropikų miško jūroje.En: Today she will embark on a new adventure—a biodiversity project far from Lietuvos, in this dense ocean of tropical forest.Lt: Milda visada norėjo apsaugoti gamtą, bet dabar ji toli nuo savo namų, ir jaučia, kad oras čia kaip antklodė, kuri slegia jos pečius.En: Milda has always wanted to protect nature, but now she is far from her home, and she feels like the air here is a blanket that weighs on her shoulders.Lt: Aplink ją viskas čiulba, šnara ir klega.En: Around her, everything chirps, rustles, and chatters.Lt: Tai gyvūnų chorų simfonija, kurie čia gyvena.En: It is the symphony of the animal choirs that live here.Lt: Medžiai taip aukšti, jog atrodo, kad galima jais lipti iki dangaus.En: The trees are so tall that it seems like one could climb them to the sky.Lt: Kartu su Mildą atvyko Austėja, geriausia draugė, kuri visuomet randa žodžius, padedančius nurimti.En: Alongside Milda came Austėja, her best friend, who always finds the words that help her calm down.Lt: "Ei, Mildute, ką manai apie šią vietą?En: "Hey, Mildute, what do you think of this place?Lt: Nebijok, mes tai padarysim kartu," – ramina Austėja, pastebėjusi Milda nerimą.En: Don’t worry, we’ll do it together," Austėja reassures her, noticing Milda’s anxiety.Lt: Julius, vietinis ekologas, greitai tapo komandos dalimi.En: Julius, a local ecologist, quickly became part of the team.Lt: Jis atėjo su šypsena ir drąsa tarsi būtų gimęs džiunglėse.En: He came with a smile and courage as if he had been born in the jungle.Lt: Bet Milda, nors ir mėgina šypsotis, jaučia širdies kampelyje kirbančią baimę.En: But Milda, even though she tries to smile, feels a creeping fear in the corner of her heart.Lt: Ji nori padaryti skirtumą, bet bijo, kad jai gali nepavykti.En: She wants to make a difference, but she fears she might fail.Lt: Vieną vakarą, kada saulės spinduliai glosto didžiulius lapus, Milda susėda šalia Juliaus.En: One evening, when the sunlight strokes the massive leaves, Milda sits down next to Julius.Lt: Ji jau neištvėrė savo minčių.En: She could no longer withstand her thoughts.Lt: Pasiruošusi pripažinti savo baimes, sako: "Julius, kartais atrodo, kad šitas miškas mane nugalės.En: Ready to admit her fears, she says, "Julius, sometimes it feels like this forest will defeat me.Lt: Aš bijau, kad mano pastangos čia nebus reikšmingos.En: I’m afraid my efforts here won’t be significant."Lt: "Julius, atsigręžęs į Mildą, ją ramina: "Milda, mes visi kartais jaučiamės nežinomi šių miškų akivaizdoje.En: Julius, turning to Milda, reassures her, "Milda, we all sometimes feel unknown in the face of these forests.Lt: Bet žinok, kad tu nesuprasi pokyčio vienu žingsniu.En: But know that you won’t understand change in just one step.Lt: Kiekvienas mūsų tyrimas svarbus.En: Every one of our studies is important.Lt: Ir aš esu čia su tavimi.En: And I am here with you."Lt: "Netrukus pradeda griausti didžiulė audra.En: Soon, a massive storm begins to thunder.Lt: Tropinis liūtis smogia su galinga jėga.En: A tropical downpour strikes with powerful force.Lt: Vanduo veržiasi tarsi nedidelė upė.En: Water rushes like a small river.Lt: Milda ir Julius turi veikti greitai, kad apsaugotų tyrimų įrangą.En: Milda and Julius must act quickly to protect the research equipment.Lt: Jie dirba petys į petį, drąsiai kovoja prieš audros šėlsmą.En: They work shoulder to shoulder, bravely battling the storm’s frenzy.Lt: Kai lietus pavargsta ir džiunglės vėl nurimsta, Milda pajaučia, kaip jos baimės išnyksta kartu su audra.En: When the rain tires and the jungle calms again, Milda feels her fears disappear along with the storm.Lt: Nors ji vis dar šlapia ir pavargusi, žino, kad ne viena.En: Although she is still wet and tired, she knows she is not alone.Lt: Julius, jos naujas draugas, tapo ne tik pastiprinimu darbe, bet ir parama gyventi šioje nepažįstamoje žemėje.En: Julius, her new friend, has become not only an asset at work but also a support in living in this unfamiliar land.Lt: Kartu jie grįžta į stovyklą, kupini naujos drąsos ir pasiryžimo.En: Together, they return to the camp, full of new courage and determination.Lt: Milda supranta, kad kartais, siekiant tikslo, reikia ne tik žinių ir valios, bet ir žmonių, kurie gali prilaikyti tave tada, kai esi silpnas.En: Milda understands that sometimes, in pursuit of a goal, you need not only knowledge and will but also people who can hold you up when you are weak.Lt: Džiunglės vėl tapo jos namais.En: The jungle has once again become her home.Lt: O su Julius ir Austėja šalia, ji žino, kad gali nugalėti viską, ką šios vietos jai pateiks.En: And with Julius and Austėja by her side, she knows she can overcome anything this place throws at her.

Christmas Short Works Collection 2017 by Various ciesse This year's Christmas collection of short stories, poems and non-fiction features 29 readings in English, Lithuanian, Spanish and Romanian. Unstoppable Farce; The Mitch Maloney Story Mitch Maloney Unstoppable Farce tells the story of "Mr. Mirth" himself, in his own words, beginning with forty-five years of what might generously be described as a wasted existence before he decided to become the most successful FC (Famous Comedian) of all time. He describes how he created his Lithuanian Chupacabra alter ego, honed his signature Cheezy Pleezers bit, and became a viral sensation on Qlip Qlop and H!jnx. He dishes the dirt on touring with Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chapelle, what really went down behind the scenes at SNL, and what it was like to be the first (and last) comedian to play the Acropolis. And that's just the beginning. This audio production was made possible by the Seventh Reformed Church of Latter Day Witnesses. Audio engineering by Darbeliostriumopolatrius Macodivetticus. Theme music: "Ouchy" written and performed by Muddy Mitch with Sweet Tooth Delacroix. Monssun Monssun Monssun - Simonas Gudavičius is a Lithuanian musician & producer coming from Siauliai/Vilnius.
