Eglė asked, feeling anxious.Lt: Audrius kelias minutes tyliai galvojo.En: Audrius thought silently for a few minutes.Lt: „Mums reikia būti kūrybingiems,“ – pagaliau tarė jis.En: "We need to be creative," he finally said.Lt: „Turėsime praplanuoti kitą maršrutą.“En: "We'll have to plan an alternative route."Lt: Eglė pakėlė antakį, skeptiškai stebėdama Audrių.En: Eglė raised an eyebrow, skeptically observing Audrius.Lt: Jis paaiškino savo planą: jie užkops iki arčiau esančio ežero, kur buvo keletas paliktų atsargų iš ankstesnių ekspedicijų.En: He explained his plan: they would climb to a nearby lake where some supplies had been left from previous expeditions.Lt: „Šie maži mūsų turi ten atvesti,“ – tikino Audrius.En: "These trails will guide us there," assured Audrius.Lt: Eglei šis planas pasirodė rizikingas, bet galiausiai jie susitarė.En: To Eglė, this plan seemed risky, but in the end, they agreed.Lt: Jie pripildė kuprines tuo, ką galėjo rasti. Šiek tiek maisto, žibintuvėlių ir net kelias senas pūkines striukes, kurios dar kabojo pačioje parduotuvės gilumoje.En: They filled their backpacks with what they could find: a little food, flashlights, and even a few old down jackets hanging in the depths of the store.Lt: Išeidami iš parduotuvėlės, Audrius tvirtai suglaudė užpakaliniame kišenėje žemėlapį.En: As they left the store, Audrius firmly tucked a map in his back pocket.Lt: „Mes tai padarysime,“ – su šypsena pasakė jis.En: "We can do this," he said with a smile.Lt: Eglė jautė, kad gali juo pasitikėti.En: Eglė felt she could trust him.Lt: Prasidėjo jų kelionė.En: Their journey began.Lt: Šalti vėjai pūtė pro jų veidus.En: Cold winds blew across their faces.Lt: Sniegas girdėjosi po kojomis.En: The snow crunched beneath their feet.Lt: Kiekvieną žingsnį reikėjo skaičiuoti atsargiai.En: Every step had to be carefully calculated.Lt: Tačiau Audrius vadovavo tvirtai, o Eglė rado vis daugiau pasitikėjimo jo įgūdžiais.En: However, Audrius led with confidence, and Eglė found herself increasingly trusting his skills.Lt: Pagaliau, po kelių dienų, silpnas ežero miražas pasirodė horizonte.En: Finally, after a few days, a faint mirage of the lake appeared on the horizon.Lt: Jų planas veikė!En: Their plan was working!Lt: Jie pasiekė savo tikslą, nors ir be visų suplanuotų atsargų.En: They reached their goal, although without all the planned supplies.Lt: Grįžtant nuo ežero, Audrius apsuko galvą į Eglę.En: Returning from the lake, Audrius turned his head to Eglė.Lt: „Ačiū, kad pasitikėjai manimi,“ – sakė jis.En: "Thank you for trusting me," he said.Lt: Eglė pakėlė galvą, šypsodamasi.En: Eglė looked up, smiling.Lt: „Dabar žinau, kad galime kartu įveikti bet kokią kliūtį.“En: "Now I know we can overcome any obstacle together."Lt: Ir taip, su naujai atrasta draugystės ir pasitikėjimo dvasia, jie tęsė savo kelionę per balto sniego platybes.En: And so, with a newfound spirit of friendship and trust, they continued their journey across the vast expanses of white snow.Lt: Kur nors, tarp debesų, išlindo saulės spindulėlis, tarsi švyturys, vedantis juos pirmyn.En: Somewhere, between the clouds, a ray of sunshine emerged, like a beacon, guiding them onward.

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.
