Čia! Greičiau! Žiūrėk!“En: “Rokas! Here! Hurry! Look!”Lt: Jie pamatė kambario centre senovinę vazą, išpuoštą gintariniais ornamentais.En: They saw an ancient vase in the center of the room, adorned with amber ornaments.Lt: Nors žemė aplink vis labiau griuvo, Rokas padėjo Gabijai atsipeikėti.En: Although the ground around them was collapsing more and more, Rokas helped Gabija regain her composure.Lt: Jie skubiai ištraukė vazą ir bėgo atgal iš tamsos į saugias griuvėsių vietas.En: They quickly retrieved the vase and ran back out from the darkness to the safer parts of the ruins.Lt: Kai abu pavargo, atsisėdo ant vienos iš didelių akmeninių plokščių.En: When they both grew tired, they sat on one of the large stone slabs.Lt: Gabija laikė vazą ant savo kelių, šypsojosi.En: Gabija held the vase on her lap, smiling.Lt: Močiutės istorijos buvo teisingos.En: Her grandmother's stories were true.Lt: Ji jautė, kad pagaliau įvykdė savo pažadą.En: She felt she had finally fulfilled her promise.Lt: „Atsiprašau, kad netikėjau“, – tyliai pratarė Rokas.En: “I'm sorry I didn't believe,” Rokas said quietly.Lt: „Kartais dalykai ne visada būna tokie, kaip atrodo knygose.“En: “Sometimes things aren't always as they seem in the books.”Lt: „Aš taip pat pasimokiau, kad reikia ieškoti įrodymų, o ne vien vadovautis pasakojimais“, – atsakė Gabija.En: “I also learned that one needs to search for evidence, not just be guided by stories,” replied Gabija.Lt: Šaltas vėjas nuglostė jų veidus, kai jie žvelgė į mėnulio nušvietusią Kernavę.En: The cold wind caressed their faces as they gazed at the moonlit Kernavė.Lt: Naktis buvo rami.En: The night was calm.Lt: Lobis buvo tikras, tik ne toks, kokio jie tikėjosi.En: The treasure was real, just not what they expected.Lt: Šios ypatingos akimirkos ir atradimas tapo brangenybe.En: These special moments and the discovery became a treasure themselves.Lt: Gabija ir Rokas pažvelgė į ateitį su nauju supratimu ir viltimi.En: Gabija and Rokas looked to the future with new understanding and hope.

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.
