When we were children...
1:04:05
...you'd go to Istanbul Street
once a week to shop.
1:04:09
And you would take
one of us along.
1:04:12
When it was my turn...
1:04:14
...I was so happy
I could hardly contain myself.
1:04:19
Sometimes I would test my courage
and let go of your hand...
1:04:23
...and would walk behind you
a little...
1:04:26
...just to see how far away
I could still smell your perfume.
1:04:33
Mother, I should not say this...
1:04:36
...but even cancer would have been
better than this disease you've got.
1:04:43
This is death before dying...
1:04:49
...and it is not fair
to lose one's loved one twice...
1:04:53
...and suffer the consequences.
1:05:03
But today I have come
to read you a story.
1:05:13
Today's story is called "The Fable
of Silence" by Edgar Allen Poe.
1:05:19
Once upon a time, there was
a city filled with silence.
1:05:24
No wind, no thunderstorms,
no singing birds...
1:05:28
...no waterfalls cascading
over the rocks.
1:05:33
People of this city did not speak...
1:05:35
...and would not say anything
about what happened to them.
1:05:38
One day, a traveler passed through
the city and asked a person,
1:05:42
"Where does this road lead to?"
1:05:45
His voice sounded like...
1:05:47
...a thunder-clap in the silent man's
head, who had only known silence.
1:05:51
Sir, why are you bothering?
1:05:55
She won't understand a word of
what you are reading to her.
