En: In Vilnius Katedra Square, it was a summer evening when people enjoyed not only the warmth but also the festival "Mėnulio kinas". Lt: Aplink grojo muzika, kaito oras, o virš galvų siūbavo žvaigždėtos dangaus linijos. En: Music played around them, the air was warm, and above their heads, the starry sky lines swayed. Lt: Šiltų šviesų spinduliai apšvietė katedros bokštus, sudarydami nepakartojamą sceną kino vakarui po atviru dangumi. En: The beams of warm light illuminated the cathedral towers, creating an unforgettable scene for an open-air movie night. Lt: Domas, eilinis vilnietis, dirbantis muziejuje, įsikūrė ant sulankstomos kėdės. En: Domas, an ordinary local of Vilnius working in a museum, settled into a folding chair. Lt: Jo širdis plakė greitai, jis laukė filmo pradžios ir troško, kad šalia jo būtų draugai su panašiais interesais. En: His heart was beating fast; he was waiting for the film to start and longed for friends with similar interests to be by his side. Lt: Vis tik, Domui buvo sunku pradėti pokalbį su nepažįstamaisiais. En: However, Domas found it difficult to start conversations with strangers. Lt: Šalia įsitaisė Eimantė, kuri buvo karštais nekantrumo kibirkščiais spinduliuojanti architektūros studentė. En: Beside him sat Eimantė, a radiantly eager architecture student. Lt: Ji mokėsi apie miesto architektūrą ir visada buvo pasirengusi sužinoti daugiau. En: She studied urban architecture and was always ready to learn more. Lt: Kai ji pastebėjo Domą, abu sėdėjo tyloje, laukdami filmo. En: When she noticed Domas, they both sat in silence, waiting for the film. Lt: Projektorius pradėjo rodyti senovinį nespalvotą filmą. En: The projector began to show an old black-and-white movie. Lt: Domas pastebėjo, kad istorija neatitinka tikrų faktų ir žinojo, kad tai gera tema pokalbiui. En: Domas noticed that the story did not match the real facts and knew it was a good topic for conversation. Lt: Sukaupęs drąsą, jis atsisuko į Eimantę ir tyliai, bet užtikrintai, pasakė:– Šis filmas tikrai įdomus, bet jame yra keletas istorinių klaidų. En: Gathering his courage, he turned to Eimantė and quietly but confidently said: "This movie is really interesting, but it has several historical inaccuracies. Lt: Pavyzdžiui, šie rūbai nebuvo dėvimi to dešimtmečio Lietuvos bajorų. En: For example, these clothes were not worn by Lithuanian nobles of that decade." Lt: Eimantė nusišypsojo ir susidomėjęs pažiūrėjo į Domą:– Oho, tikrai? En: Eimantė smiled and looked at Domas with interest: "Wow, really? Lt: Man visada įdomu, kiek tiksliai filmai atspindi tikrovę. En: I'm always intrigued by how accurately movies reflect reality. Lt: Ar dažnai pastebi tokių dalykų? En: Do you often notice such things?" Lt: Jiedu pradėjo kalbėti. En: They began to talk. Lt: Eimantė dalinosi savo mintimis apie architektūrą, o Domas mielai dalijosi istorijos žiniomis. En: Eimantė shared her thoughts on architecture, and Domas happily shared his historical knowledge. Lt: Jiems kalbant, laikas pralėkė nepastebimai. En: As they talked, time flew by unnoticed. Lt: Netrukus jie atrado, kad abu susidomėję artėjantčiu istoriniu pasivaikščiojimu po Vilnių. En: Soon they discovered they were both interested in an upcoming historical walk through Vilnius. Lt: – Gal norėtum kartu eiti į tą ekskursiją? En: "Would you like to go on that tour together?" Lt: – pasiūlė Domas, šiek tiek nervindamasis, bet ir džiaugdamasis galimybe. En: Domas suggested, feeling slightly nervous but also delighted by the opportunity. Lt: Eimantė linktelėjo, akys žėrėjo nuoširdžiu susidomėjimu:– Be abejo! En: Eimantė nodded, her eyes glimmering with genuine interest: "Absolutely! Lt: Tai skamba puikiai. En: That sounds wonderful." Lt: Kai baigėsi filmas, jų širdys buvo sušildytos naujai užmegzta draugyste. En: When the film ended, their hearts were warmed by the newly formed friendship. Lt: Jie pasikeitė telefono numeriais, pažadėdami kartu susitikti pasivaikščiojimui po Vilnių jau kaip tikri bičiuliai. En: They exchanged phone numbers, promising to meet for the walk through Vilnius as true friends. Lt: Nuo to vakaro Domas pradėjo labiau pasitikėti savimi bendraudamas apie savo aistrą istorijai, o Eimantė suprato, kokia vertinga yra tikra, neskubi pokalbio magija. En: From that evening on, Domas began to have more confidence when talking about his passion for history, and Eimantė realized the value of genuine, unhurried conversation magic. Lt: Jie abu buvo pasirengę laikyti vienas kitą už rankų, tyrinėdami per vasarą gimčiojo miesto kultūros lobius. En: They were both ready to hold each other's hands, exploring the cultural treasures of their hometown over the summer.

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. 9Natree Lithuanian 9Natree 9Natree kanalas – mūsų tikslas yra dalytis žiniomis su žmonėmis visame pasaulyje.
