Just for you, Toto.
l'll tell you a story.

:31:05
Let's sit down. Misery of miseries!
:31:14
Once a king gave a feast...
for his beautiful princess.

:31:20
Now, a soldier who was standing guard...
:31:24
saw the king's daughter go by.
:31:29
She was a most beautiful girl,
and he fell instantly in love.

:31:34
But what is a simple soldier...
:31:35
next to the daughter of a king?
:31:38
At last he succeeded in meeting her,
:31:42
and he told her...
He could no longer live without her.

:31:47
The princess was so taken by his love
that she said to the soldier...

:31:54
''lf you can wait for 100 days...
:31:57
and 100 nights under my balcony,
:32:00
at the end of it...l shall be yours.''
:32:03
With that, the solder went and waited...
:32:09
One day...Two days...
then ten... then twenty.

:32:15
Each evening the princess looked out,
and he never moved!

:32:18
ln rain, wind, and snow,
he was still there!

:32:21
Birds sat on his head,
bees stung him...But he didn't move.

:32:31
However...On the ninety day...
:32:37
He had become...pale and weak.
:32:44
Tears streamed from his eyes,
:32:48
He couldn't hold them back.
:32:50
He didn't even have
the strength to sleep.

:32:55
And all that time,
the princess watched him.
