:55:01
The water, the work,
the warmth of the sun have done it, not l.

:55:09
ln the last few days,
l have shown you much of lsrael.

:55:13
But you have not told me
anything of your own country.

:55:16
At this moment, my own land
seems as distant as the stars.

:55:21
ln my youth, l used to dream of visiting
all the faraway kingdoms of the earth.

:55:25
And now instead,
the rulers of those countries come to you.

:55:30
You rule Sheba alone.
:55:33
From the beginning of time,
only queens have ruled in Sheba.

:55:37
That is our law.
:55:40
l would be happy to tell Your Majesty
many things concerning my country

:55:44
if l were sure it would be
of interest to you.

:55:47
Why do you say that?
:55:49
Because after all the times
l have visited you,

:55:52
you have not returned the compliment
by visiting my encampment.

:55:58
And me.
:56:00
Perhaps l was waiting for an invitation.
:56:04
You promise to accept?
:56:08
l promise.
:56:28
l am so happy
that at last you have come to visit me.

:56:32
My people feel honoured.
:56:34
lt is your guest who feels honoured.
:56:37
You are not bored
by our primitive pastimes?

:56:40
No, it interests me
to learn what amuses you.

:56:51
Enough, Takyan.
