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.
1:06:01
You're right. I know these stories
won't cure her...
1:06:06
...but I'm hoping maybe
one of these stories...
1:06:11
...one of the sentences...
1:06:14
...one of the words might make
a spark in her mind...
1:06:17
...and she would remember me...
1:06:21
...or more important,
remember herself.
1:06:26
It is recommended
to dig the grave...
1:06:28
...to the depth of
a medium-sized person and...
1:06:34
...and the body should be buried
in the nearest cemetery.
1:06:39
It is better to put the body down
on the ground near the grave...
1:06:45
...and each time move it
a little closer...
1:06:49
...put it down again
until the fourth time...
1:06:54
...when the corpse
should be lowered...
1:06:58
...into the grave head first.
