Why the Sea Moans

WEBVTT

00:01.567 --> 00:02.588
[SPEAKER_02]: Ahoi, my friends.

00:03.049 --> 00:05.251
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome aboard the Afro Tales Barcans.

00:05.732 --> 00:07.494
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm your storyteller, Monna Zinger.

00:07.835 --> 00:15.344
[SPEAKER_02]: Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean.

00:15.744 --> 00:18.127
[SPEAKER_01]: After, come and see me.

00:18.608 --> 00:21.131
[SPEAKER_02]: Chef, who will impart upon me?

00:21.171 --> 00:23.694
[SPEAKER_02]: It hasn't been for the story you have just made.

00:24.114 --> 00:27.739
[SPEAKER_02]: So with no further ado, let us set set on this.

00:28.440 --> 00:30.342
[SPEAKER_02]: New age of exploration.

00:32.245 --> 00:34.476
[SPEAKER_02]: Why the sea moans?

00:39.569 --> 00:44.677
[SPEAKER_02]: Once upon a time there was a little princess who lived in a magnificent royal palace.

00:45.899 --> 00:52.810
[SPEAKER_02]: All around the palace there was a beautiful garden full of lovely flowers and rare shrubs and trees.

00:53.972 --> 01:02.826
[SPEAKER_02]: The part of the garden which the princess liked most of all was a corner of it which ran down to the sea.

01:02.806 --> 01:10.954
[SPEAKER_02]: She was a very lonely little princess, and she loved to sit and watch the changing beauty of the scene.

01:12.035 --> 01:15.298
[SPEAKER_02]: The name of the little princess was Dynesia.

01:16.860 --> 01:23.726
[SPEAKER_02]: And it often seemed to her that the sea said, as it rushed against the shore.

01:24.787 --> 01:27.110
[SPEAKER_02]: Dynesia.

01:27.130 --> 01:29.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Dynesia.

01:31.814 --> 01:40.988
[SPEAKER_02]: One day, when the little princess was sitting all alone by the sea, she said to herself, I am so lonely.

01:42.230 --> 01:48.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I do so wish that I had someone or somebody to play with.

01:48.859 --> 01:57.973
[SPEAKER_01]: When I write out in the real cherry, I see little girls who have other little boys and girls to play with them,

01:57.953 --> 02:02.943
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm the royal princess, I never have anybody to play with me.

02:04.125 --> 02:14.224
[SPEAKER_02]: If I have to be the royal princess and not play with other children, I do think I might have some sort of life thing to play with me.

02:15.875 --> 02:19.100
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the most remarkable thing happened.

02:20.001 --> 02:28.475
[SPEAKER_02]: The sea is very slowly and distinctly and over and over again.

02:29.296 --> 02:32.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So there couldn't be any mistake about it.

02:33.462 --> 02:34.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Dionysia.

02:36.106 --> 02:37.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Dionysia.

02:39.567 --> 02:51.265
[SPEAKER_02]: The little princess walked up close to the sea, just as close as she dared to go without danger of getting her royal shoes and stockings wet.

02:52.932 --> 02:59.399
[SPEAKER_02]: straight out of the biggest wave of all they came a sea serpent to meet her.

03:00.320 --> 03:05.246
[SPEAKER_02]: She knew it was a sea serpent from the pictures in her royal story books.

03:06.127 --> 03:14.656
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though she had never seen a sea serpent before, but somehow this sea serpent looked different than the pictures.

03:15.577 --> 03:21.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead of being

03:21.704 --> 03:26.051
[SPEAKER_02]: She's held her arms out to it right away.

03:26.652 --> 03:28.815
[SPEAKER_02]: Come play with me, say Dionysia.

03:30.538 --> 03:36.949
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Lava Smina, and I have come to play with you.

03:38.271 --> 03:39.713
[SPEAKER_02]: Replied, the C-circuit.

03:41.279 --> 03:45.524
[SPEAKER_02]: After that, the little princess was very much happier.

03:46.505 --> 03:52.613
[SPEAKER_02]: The sea serpent came out of the sea to play with her every day when she was alone.

03:53.454 --> 03:59.021
[SPEAKER_02]: If anyone else came near, La Vesmina would disappear into the sea.

04:00.483 --> 04:05.589
[SPEAKER_02]: So, no one, but Dionysia, ever saw her.

04:07.111 --> 04:08.653
[SPEAKER_02]: The years passed rapidly.

04:09.224 --> 04:14.874
[SPEAKER_02]: each year the little princess grew to be a larger and larger princess.

04:15.736 --> 04:21.366
[SPEAKER_02]: At last she was 16 years old, and a very grown-up princess indeed.

04:22.428 --> 04:30.422
[SPEAKER_02]: She still enjoyed her old playmate, Lavis Mina, and they were often together on the seashells.

04:31.837 --> 04:52.608
[SPEAKER_02]: One day, when they were walking up and down together beside the sea, she certainly looked at dinosaur, who said, eyes and said, I, too, have been growing older all these years.

04:52.909 --> 04:54.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, dinosaur.

04:55.647 --> 05:01.875
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the time has come, that we can no longer play together.

05:01.895 --> 05:14.491
[SPEAKER_01]: I shall never come out of the sea to play with you anymore, but I shall never forget you, and I shall always be your friend.

05:15.772 --> 05:24.523
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that if you will never have any trouble,

05:25.111 --> 05:30.639
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know, who come to help you."

05:30.659 --> 05:45.921
[SPEAKER_02]: Then as he served in disappeared into the sea, about this time, the wife of a neighboring King died, and as she lay upon her deathbed, she gave the King a jeweled ring.

05:47.563 --> 05:54.173
[SPEAKER_02]: When the time comes, when you wish to wear it again, she's it.

05:54.608 --> 06:08.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I ask you to marry Princess Apano's finger, this ring, shall be neither too tight, nor too loose.

06:09.948 --> 06:15.497
[SPEAKER_02]: After a while, the king began to look about for a princess to be his bride.

06:16.218 --> 06:22.348
[SPEAKER_02]: He visited many royal palaces and tried the ring upon the finger of many royal princess.

06:23.590 --> 06:29.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Upon some the ring was too tight and upon others it was too loose.

06:30.602 --> 06:34.909
[SPEAKER_02]: There was no princess whose finger it fitted perfectly.

06:36.408 --> 06:44.288
[SPEAKER_02]: At last, it has searched the king, came to the royal palace with a prince's diandisialy.

06:44.308 --> 06:50.704
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince had dreams of her own, a young and charming prince who would someday come to wear her.

06:51.545 --> 06:54.750
[SPEAKER_02]: so she was not pleased at all.

06:55.912 --> 06:59.637
[SPEAKER_02]: The king was old and no longer handsome.

07:00.759 --> 07:09.672
[SPEAKER_02]: And when he tried the ring upon Dionysia's finger, she hoped with all her heart that it wouldn't fit.

07:11.274 --> 07:12.196
[SPEAKER_02]: It fit perfectly.

07:13.618 --> 07:17.063
[SPEAKER_02]: The princess, Dionysia, was frightened nearly to death.

07:18.072 --> 07:20.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Will I really have to marry him?

07:22.537 --> 07:24.099
[SPEAKER_02]: She asked her royal father.

07:24.980 --> 07:35.834
[SPEAKER_02]: Her father told her, what a very wealthy king he was with a great kingdom, and a wonderful royal palace.

07:36.735 --> 07:45.345
[SPEAKER_02]: Ever so much more wonderful and grand than the palace, the prince's dinosaur had always had for her.

07:47.114 --> 07:52.606
[SPEAKER_02]: her father had no patience at all with her for not being happy about it.

07:54.651 --> 07:59.301
[SPEAKER_02]: You ought to consider yourself the most fortunate princess.

07:59.534 --> 08:01.637
[SPEAKER_02]: in all the world," he said.

08:01.677 --> 08:14.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Dinosia spent her days in nights weeping, her father was afraid that she would grow so thin that the ring would no longer fit her finger.

08:15.136 --> 08:18.420
[SPEAKER_02]: So he hastened the plans for the wedding.

08:19.649 --> 08:27.683
[SPEAKER_02]: One day, Diannesia walked up and down beside the sea, crying as if her heart would break.

08:28.925 --> 08:30.447
[SPEAKER_02]: All that once she stopped crying.

08:31.790 --> 08:33.412
[SPEAKER_01]: How stupid I have been?

08:34.454 --> 08:36.998
[SPEAKER_01]: She said, My old playmate!

08:37.860 --> 08:44.391
[SPEAKER_01]: My Miss Meena told me that if I ever was in trouble, she would come back and help me.

08:45.215 --> 08:49.659
[SPEAKER_01]: With all my silly crying, I have forgotten all about it.

08:51.941 --> 08:56.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Nine Nesia walked up close to the sea and called softly.

08:57.667 --> 09:05.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Out of the sea came the sea serpent just as she used to come.

09:06.555 --> 09:14.142
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince has told the sea serpent all about the dreadful trouble, which was threatening to spoil her life.

09:15.691 --> 09:18.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Have no fear.

09:18.617 --> 09:20.460
[SPEAKER_02]: Zelab is meaner.

09:20.480 --> 09:32.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell your father that you will marry the king when the king present you with a dress, the color of the fields and all their flowers.

09:33.445 --> 09:37.513
[SPEAKER_02]: And that you will not marry him until he gives it to him.

09:39.248 --> 10:00.835
[SPEAKER_02]: Then, as he serpent disappeared again into the sea, Dionysius sent word through her father to the royal suitor that she would wedding him only when he procured her dress with the colors of the fields and all their flowers.

10:01.692 --> 10:07.281
[SPEAKER_02]: The king was very much in love with Dionysia, so he was filled with joy at this request.

10:08.062 --> 10:12.890
[SPEAKER_02]: He searched everywhere for a dress the color of the fields and all their flowers.

10:13.692 --> 10:18.339
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a very difficult thing to find but at last he procured one.

10:18.359 --> 10:21.945
[SPEAKER_02]: He sent it to Dionysia at once.

10:21.925 --> 10:29.359
[SPEAKER_02]: When Dionysia saw that the king had really found the dress for her, she filled with grief.

10:30.260 --> 10:36.972
[SPEAKER_02]: She thought there was no escape and that she would have to marry the king after all.

10:38.615 --> 10:41.200
[SPEAKER_02]: As soon as she could get away from the palace,

10:41.500 --> 10:48.967
[SPEAKER_02]: Without being noticed, she ran down to the sea again, called Navasmina, Navasmina!

10:48.987 --> 10:52.430
[SPEAKER_02]: The sea serpent, at once, came out of the sea.

10:53.511 --> 10:54.652
[SPEAKER_01]: Do not fear!

10:55.733 --> 11:09.786
[SPEAKER_01]: She said to Dinosia, Go back and say that you were not wed, the king until it gives to a dress, the colour of the sea and all its fishes.

11:11.302 --> 11:18.734
[SPEAKER_02]: When the king heard this new request of Dionysius, he was rather discouraged.

11:19.435 --> 11:27.087
[SPEAKER_02]: However, he searched for the dress and at last after expanding a gray sum of money.

11:28.069 --> 11:29.952
[SPEAKER_02]: He procured such a gap.

11:31.855 --> 11:45.054
[SPEAKER_02]: When Dionysius saw that, a dress, the color of the sea and all its fishes had been found, for her she again went to seek counsel from her old playmate.

11:46.416 --> 12:00.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be afraid, Baba Sminna said, This time, you must ask the king to get a dress the color of the sky and all these stars.

12:01.420 --> 12:08.680
[SPEAKER_02]: You may also tell him that this is the last present you will ask him to make you.

12:10.178 --> 12:19.232
[SPEAKER_02]: When the king heard about the demand for the dressed the color of the sky and all its stars, he was completely disheartened.

12:19.252 --> 12:32.012
[SPEAKER_02]: But when he heard that Dionysia had promised that this would be the last present, she would ask, he decided that it might be a good investment after all.

12:32.873 --> 12:36.439
[SPEAKER_02]: He sent out to procure the dress with all possible speed.

12:37.145 --> 12:38.507
[SPEAKER_02]: at last he found one.

12:39.349 --> 12:50.546
[SPEAKER_02]: When Dionysia saw the dress, the color of the sky and all its stars she thought that this time, there was no escape from marrying the king.

12:51.728 --> 13:04.148
[SPEAKER_02]: She called the sea serpent with anxious heart, for she was afraid that now, even like his meaner, couldn't do nothing to help her.

13:05.613 --> 13:22.390
[SPEAKER_02]: Lava's meaning came out of the sea, in answer to her call, go home to the palace and get your dress, the color of the field, and all its flowers, said the sea serpent.

13:23.095 --> 13:30.428
[SPEAKER_02]: And you dress the color of the sea and all its fishes, and you dress the color of the sky and all its stars.

13:31.170 --> 13:34.315
[SPEAKER_02]: Then hurry back here to the sea for...

13:34.335 --> 13:37.020
[SPEAKER_02]: I have been preparing a surprise for you.

13:37.557 --> 13:46.156
[SPEAKER_02]: All the time the king had been curing the wonderful gowns for Dynesia, the sea serpent had been building a ship for her.

13:47.158 --> 13:56.038
[SPEAKER_02]: When Dynesia returned from the royal palace with her lovely dresses, all carefully packed in a box.

13:57.048 --> 13:59.651
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a queer little boat awaiting her.

14:00.452 --> 14:10.525
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not at all like any of the boat she had ever seen, and she was almost afraid to get in to it when Abbas Mina acts her to try.

14:10.565 --> 14:18.955
[SPEAKER_02]: This little ship which I have built for you, Zelapas Mina, will carry you.

14:19.407 --> 14:29.960
[SPEAKER_02]: Far away over the sea to the kingdom of a prince, who is the most charming prince in all the world.

14:31.722 --> 14:36.629
[SPEAKER_02]: When you see him, you will want to marry him above all others.

14:37.790 --> 14:38.711
[SPEAKER_01]: All of us, Mina!

14:39.672 --> 14:40.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Hakan!

14:43.015 --> 14:46.139
[SPEAKER_02]: All that you have done for me, cried Dionysia.

14:46.660 --> 14:49.644
[SPEAKER_02]: You can do the greatest thing in the world for me.

14:50.305 --> 14:51.086
[SPEAKER_02]: Say, Lava's Nina.

14:51.446 --> 14:59.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Though I have never told you, I do not believe that you have ever suspected it.

15:00.618 --> 15:03.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I am really an enchanted princess.

15:05.825 --> 15:08.348
[SPEAKER_01]: I should have to remain in this form of

15:09.239 --> 15:13.944
[SPEAKER_02]: a sea serpent until the happiest maiden in all the world.

15:14.925 --> 15:20.350
[SPEAKER_01]: At the hour of her greatest happiness, calls my name three times.

15:22.272 --> 15:28.678
[SPEAKER_02]: You will be the very happiest girl in all the world on the day of your marriage.

15:29.739 --> 15:35.685
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you remember to call my name three times, then you will break my enchantment

15:37.319 --> 15:44.595
[SPEAKER_01]: And I shall once more be a lovely princess instead of a sea serpent.

15:46.516 --> 15:50.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Dionysia promised her friend that she would remember to do this.

15:51.924 --> 15:56.731
[SPEAKER_02]: The sea, Serpent asked her to promise three times to make sure.

15:56.791 --> 16:09.790
[SPEAKER_02]: When Dionysia had promised three times and again embraced her old plate made and thanked her for all that she had done she sailed away in the little ship.

16:09.770 --> 16:12.634
[SPEAKER_02]: The Sea Serpent disappeared into the Sea.

16:13.475 --> 16:21.225
[SPEAKER_02]: Dying easier, sailed and sailed in the little ship, and that last it bore her to a lovely island.

16:22.446 --> 16:31.437
[SPEAKER_02]: She thought that she had reached her destination, so she stepped out of the boat not forgetting to take her box of dresses with her.

16:31.457 --> 16:36.604
[SPEAKER_02]: As soon as she was out of the boat, it sailed away.

16:37.495 --> 16:40.759
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, what shall I ever do, said Darnysia.

16:41.480 --> 16:46.467
[SPEAKER_02]: The ship has gone away and left me and how shall I ever earn my living?

16:47.769 --> 16:50.873
[SPEAKER_02]: I have never done anything useful in all my life.

16:53.256 --> 17:00.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Darnysia surely had to do something to earn her living immediately.

17:00.185 --> 17:05.612
[SPEAKER_02]: So she had once sent out to see what she could find to do.

17:06.318 --> 17:10.956
[SPEAKER_02]: She went from house to house asking for food and work.

17:10.976 --> 17:13.205
[SPEAKER_02]: And last, she came to the royal palace.

17:14.249 --> 17:16.176
[SPEAKER_02]: Here at the royal palace.

17:16.747 --> 17:23.894
[SPEAKER_02]: They told her that they had great need for a maid to take care of the hints.

17:25.035 --> 17:32.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Dionysia thought that this was something which she could do, so she accepted the position at once.

17:34.043 --> 17:45.994
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, of course, a very different work from being a princess in a royal palace, but it provided her with food and shelter.

17:45.974 --> 17:54.476
[SPEAKER_02]: and when Dionysia thought of having to marry the old king, she was never sorry that she had left home.

17:55.660 --> 18:01.114
[SPEAKER_02]: Time passed and at last there was a great feast day, celebrated in the city.

18:01.398 --> 18:06.768
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody in the palace went except the little maid who minded the hymns.

18:07.890 --> 18:14.002
[SPEAKER_02]: After everyone had gone away, Dionysia decided that she would go to the Vesta too.

18:14.022 --> 18:22.157
[SPEAKER_02]: She combed her hair and put on her gown, which was the color of the fields and all their flowers.

18:23.150 --> 18:32.062
[SPEAKER_02]: In this wonderful gown she was sure nobody would ever guessed as she was, the little maid who had been left at the home to mind the hence.

18:33.504 --> 18:35.988
[SPEAKER_02]: She did want to go to the fiesta.

18:37.370 --> 18:43.738
[SPEAKER_02]: She hurried there as fast as she could and arrived just in time for the dances.

18:43.758 --> 18:47.183
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody at the fiesta noticed the beautiful maiden

18:47.467 --> 18:50.514
[SPEAKER_02]: in the gown, the color of the fields and all their flowers.

18:51.176 --> 18:53.441
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince fell madly in love with her.

18:54.483 --> 18:56.528
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody had ever seen her before.

18:56.548 --> 19:02.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody could find out who the beautiful stranger was or where she came from.

19:04.443 --> 19:18.925
[SPEAKER_02]: Before the fiesta was over, Dionysia slipped away, and when the rest of the royal household returned home, there was a little mate mining the hints just as they had left her.

19:19.276 --> 19:25.804
[SPEAKER_02]: The second day of the Vesta, everybody went early, except the little maid who looked after the hints.

19:27.206 --> 19:34.514
[SPEAKER_02]: When the others had gone, she put on her dress the color of the sea and all its fishes, and went to the Vesta.

19:34.955 --> 19:40.862
[SPEAKER_02]: She attracted even more attention than she had the day before.

19:40.842 --> 19:48.674
[SPEAKER_02]: When the fiesta was over, and the royal household had returned to the royal palace, the prince remarked to his mother.

19:49.255 --> 19:55.324
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't you think that the beautiful stranger at the fiesta looks like the little maid whomines the hands?

19:56.145 --> 19:57.146
[SPEAKER_02]: What's nonsense?

19:57.888 --> 19:58.969
[SPEAKER_02]: Reply this mother.

19:59.810 --> 20:03.576
[SPEAKER_02]: How could the little maid whomines our hands?

20:03.910 --> 20:06.613
[SPEAKER_02]: ever gets such beautiful gowns to wear?

20:07.534 --> 20:18.766
[SPEAKER_02]: Just to make sure however, the prince told the royal counts to find out if the little maid who mines the royal hands had been to the fiesta.

20:18.786 --> 20:33.883
[SPEAKER_02]: All the servants told about leaving her at home with the hands and coming back and finding her just as they had left her.

20:34.522 --> 20:39.291
[SPEAKER_02]: the one above all others, I want for my wife.

20:40.233 --> 20:41.656
[SPEAKER_02]: I shall find her somehow.

20:43.640 --> 20:46.045
[SPEAKER_02]: The third day of the Viest.

20:46.065 --> 20:52.918
[SPEAKER_02]: Diannesia went attired in her gown to color the sky in all its stars.

20:53.658 --> 20:57.546
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince fell more madly in love with her than ever.

20:58.809 --> 21:06.706
[SPEAKER_02]: He could not get her to tell him who she was, or where she lived, but he gave her a beautiful jewel.

21:06.966 --> 21:12.037
[SPEAKER_02]: When the prince returned home, he would not eat anything.

21:12.057 --> 21:13.320
[SPEAKER_02]: He grew thin.

21:14.279 --> 21:14.740
[SPEAKER_02]: hell.

21:15.981 --> 21:22.610
[SPEAKER_02]: Every one around the palace tried his best to invent some dish which would tempt the princess's appetite.

21:23.872 --> 21:34.026
[SPEAKER_02]: Finally, the little maid who took care of the hand said that she thought she could prepare dish which the prince would eat.

21:34.006 --> 21:44.048
[SPEAKER_02]: Accordingly, she made a dish of broth for the prince and in the bottom of the dish he dropped the jewel which the prince had given her.

21:45.552 --> 21:52.487
[SPEAKER_02]: When the broth was set before the prince, he was about to send it away.

21:52.467 --> 21:53.789
[SPEAKER_02]: untouched.

21:54.871 --> 21:57.556
[SPEAKER_02]: Just as he did, everything else.

21:58.758 --> 22:02.766
[SPEAKER_02]: But, this sparkling jewel attracted his attention.

22:03.627 --> 22:04.589
[SPEAKER_02]: Who made this broth?

22:05.771 --> 22:08.116
[SPEAKER_02]: He asked this soon as he could speak.

22:09.157 --> 22:14.948
[SPEAKER_02]: It was made by the little maid, who minds the hints, replied his mother.

22:15.400 --> 22:19.730
[SPEAKER_02]: Send for the little maid to come to me at once, cry at the prince.

22:20.953 --> 22:26.144
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew that beautiful strands at our feet look like our little maid who minds the hands.

22:27.527 --> 22:30.735
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince, Mary, Dimeysia.

22:30.755 --> 22:32.278
[SPEAKER_02]: The very next day.

22:32.630 --> 22:42.484
[SPEAKER_02]: And Dionysia was the very happiest girl in all the world, for from the first moment that she had seen the Prince.

22:43.385 --> 22:50.294
[SPEAKER_02]: She had known that he was the one above all others whom she wished to marry her.

22:51.316 --> 22:56.443
[SPEAKER_02]: Last, and Dionysia's excitement, she forgot all about calling.

22:56.423 --> 23:04.473
[SPEAKER_02]: the name of her old claimant, my bismina, at the hour of her marriage, as she had promised to do.

23:05.815 --> 23:08.258
[SPEAKER_02]: She thought of nothing but the prince.

23:09.820 --> 23:11.582
[SPEAKER_02]: There was no escape for my bismina.

23:12.883 --> 23:18.330
[SPEAKER_02]: She had to remain in the form of a sea serpent because of Dionysia's neglect.

23:20.048 --> 23:32.003
[SPEAKER_02]: she had lost her chance to come out of the sea and become a lovely princess herself and find a charming prince of her own.

23:32.023 --> 23:39.113
[SPEAKER_02]: For this reason her sad moon is heard in the sea until this very day.

23:40.615 --> 23:41.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Perhaps you have noticed it.

23:43.673 --> 23:50.587
[SPEAKER_02]: You will often hear the call come from the sea as it breaks against the shore.

23:50.627 --> 23:53.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Dialonia.

23:54.776 --> 23:56.940
[SPEAKER_01]: Dialonia.

23:59.401 --> 24:09.624
[SPEAKER_02]: No wonder that the sea moans is enough to make a sea serpent sad to be forgotten by the very person.

24:11.088 --> 24:16.600
[SPEAKER_02]: One has done most to help the end.

24:23.465 --> 24:28.192
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, so that was a very interesting story.

24:28.272 --> 24:30.416
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot more than I expected it to be.

24:30.476 --> 24:36.745
[SPEAKER_02]: Took some twists and turns that I kind of knew were coming, but that I didn't know were coming.

24:37.186 --> 24:50.907
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, this story comes from the book, fairy tales from Brazil, how and why tales from Brazilian folklore by Elise Spicer,

24:52.270 --> 25:13.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, if you've been listening for a while, you have to reach back a little bit in our stories and the most recent story that you're gonna find is the three gowns, where it's similar to that, that I mean, the three gown motif, but,

25:13.246 --> 25:20.099
[SPEAKER_02]: She becomes a business woman, if I'm mistaken, if I don't, if I have that correct.

25:20.681 --> 25:26.853
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a while since I've read that story, that was made 2023 when I read that one.

25:27.314 --> 25:29.618
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the other one.

25:29.598 --> 25:37.368
[SPEAKER_02]: Kat's canella, which was all the way back at the beginning for a season of the show.

25:38.129 --> 25:40.371
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm probably going to go back and record that.

25:40.412 --> 25:52.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, the motif probably most famous for it is a story called Tatterhood.

25:55.113 --> 25:59.706
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably a more famous one, which property in your head was Cinderella.

26:01.306 --> 26:30.925
[SPEAKER_02]: these stories where a young girl is the maid or servant for other people and she sneaks off to the ball or fiesta or dance or whatever and the prince falls love with her and through

26:32.322 --> 26:34.306
[SPEAKER_02]: finds out who she is and they've become married.

26:35.288 --> 26:38.474
[SPEAKER_02]: This story though is sad.

26:38.554 --> 26:45.528
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if you've read the original Cinderella as you know how that got that gets dark.

26:45.548 --> 26:51.259
[SPEAKER_02]: But this story is sad in another way that I did not expect.

26:52.707 --> 27:06.286
[SPEAKER_02]: When the came to the serpent, the sea serpent just asked him just call my name three times on your happiest day and I will be transformed into a princess.

27:06.486 --> 27:17.702
[SPEAKER_02]: I just knew in my heart that she was going to call her name and that actually that princess would want to marry the king.

27:18.982 --> 27:41.563
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, because so she could have her, you know, her wedding and then whatever, but the fact that she never did, then I thought it was going to go real dark and say that because she didn't call the name of La Vesmina that she was going to die.

27:42.016 --> 28:09.559
[SPEAKER_02]: And so now just on the winds of the ocean, you hear some kind of, you know, something that the sea calls out, you know, about her betrayal, about the girls betrayal, and Dionysia, it's betrayal, and I just knew that that was coming, but for neither one of those

28:10.012 --> 28:32.458
[SPEAKER_02]: More like a combination of the two where she doesn't get there at the end, but she winds up staying a serpent the entire time and now she just calls out to die and he's saying anger, sadness, betrayal, it's like yeah sometimes you forget about your friends when you move away.

28:33.434 --> 28:41.988
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I have a best friend back home and, you know, we don't talk as much as we should, but we still keep in contact.

28:42.068 --> 28:45.654
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's other friends I know they probably like, oh, this guy forgot all about me.

28:46.035 --> 28:48.559
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't even exist anymore.

28:48.579 --> 28:55.290
[SPEAKER_02]: But that person has supposed to be your best friend, supposed to be the type one that you, you're right, a guy.

28:56.131 --> 28:57.613
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't forget about that person.

28:57.993 --> 29:04.260
[SPEAKER_02]: When you go off to become whoever you're supposed to become, don't be like that, Nesia.

29:05.361 --> 29:09.646
[SPEAKER_02]: And forget about the person who was there for you in your hard times.

29:09.666 --> 29:10.587
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that's what she did.

29:10.627 --> 29:12.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's hurtful.

29:12.950 --> 29:16.194
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't betray you know.

29:17.415 --> 29:19.978
[SPEAKER_02]: The fact that you can even call my name.

29:19.958 --> 29:21.040
[SPEAKER_02]: Not invite me.

29:22.423 --> 29:24.406
[SPEAKER_02]: This wasn't a Maleficent situation.

29:24.446 --> 29:27.652
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't invite me to the party.

29:28.874 --> 29:31.179
[SPEAKER_02]: I just needed you to save my name three times.

29:32.241 --> 29:33.663
[SPEAKER_02]: And you promised me he would.

29:34.846 --> 29:35.306
[SPEAKER_02]: And you did.

29:37.951 --> 29:38.492
[SPEAKER_02]: That's sad.

29:39.755 --> 29:39.975
[SPEAKER_02]: But...

29:41.390 --> 29:46.718
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I guess it happens or you wouldn't be talking about it right now, right?

29:47.559 --> 29:50.423
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, do you best not be like Dionysia?

29:51.305 --> 29:51.625
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

29:52.446 --> 29:53.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, go see Chef.

29:54.329 --> 29:58.335
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a wonderful recipe coming out of Brazil for you.

29:59.682 --> 30:00.744
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a little late.

30:01.525 --> 30:04.329
[SPEAKER_02]: So when you're here in this, it will be after Thanksgiving.

30:04.469 --> 30:12.222
[SPEAKER_02]: So sorry, think about doing this on the last episode, but happy Thanksgiving to all that part take in it.

30:13.043 --> 30:18.351
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't partake in Thanksgiving, happy holidays to you.

30:19.132 --> 30:27.225
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I hope you had some time with your family and know that you love.

30:28.825 --> 30:41.309
[SPEAKER_02]: It's getting colder, at least, on this side of them, though on this hemisphere, it is getting colder, and we should think about family a little bit more, getting close to them, especially at this time of year.

30:41.890 --> 30:51.087
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, like I said, go see Chef, and until we meet again, thank you for coming on this journey, and as always, have a blessed day.

31:07.570 --> 31:08.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome my friends at the galley.

31:09.193 --> 31:15.984
[SPEAKER_02]: I am your chef, chef, and today we have a wonderful recipe inspired by the story of Jaisal.

31:16.745 --> 31:26.261
[SPEAKER_02]: Today we will be creating Rabanara, or Barazelian, deep fried French toast.

31:26.281 --> 31:33.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, what will you need for this wonderfully sweet and interesting recipe?

31:35.110 --> 32:02.856
[SPEAKER_02]: One, two, two, French bread, sliced, one, and a half inches thick, should yield about 16 or so pieces, 14 out can of sweet condensed milk, three eggs, one cup of whole milk, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one cup of granulated sugar,

32:03.427 --> 32:07.974
[SPEAKER_02]: have a cup of ground cinnamon and oil for frying.

32:09.196 --> 32:10.958
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, how do we put this together?

32:11.719 --> 32:12.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Easy!

32:13.382 --> 32:20.412
[SPEAKER_02]: First, slice the bread into the one and a half inch thick rounds and set aside.

32:21.914 --> 32:26.481
[SPEAKER_02]: In a deep dish, add the sugar and cinnamon.

32:26.798 --> 32:29.481
[SPEAKER_02]: whisk to combine and set aside.

32:30.342 --> 32:35.747
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the coating for the deep fried French toast.

32:35.767 --> 32:45.738
[SPEAKER_02]: In a medium deep frying pan add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and about one and half inches of the side and set aside.

32:47.160 --> 32:54.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Line a large plate with paper towels and set aside.

32:54.811 --> 32:58.677
[SPEAKER_02]: In a million bull, measure the condensed milk.

32:58.697 --> 33:02.944
[SPEAKER_02]: They milk and the eggs and the vanilla, whisk to combine.

33:03.885 --> 33:09.915
[SPEAKER_02]: Dip the bread slices in the milk mixture until they absorb liquid.

33:10.616 --> 33:17.106
[SPEAKER_02]: Then gently squeeze the bread to remove excess liquid and place it on a plate.

33:18.200 --> 33:27.707
[SPEAKER_02]: do this to all the pieces of the river, working gently, yet quickly, to not over-suck the bread.

33:27.727 --> 33:31.197
[SPEAKER_02]: Place the oil pan over medium heat.

33:31.632 --> 33:41.973
[SPEAKER_02]: When the oil is hot, fry a few pieces of French toast at a time until golden brown on both sides.

33:41.993 --> 33:48.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Place the fried bread on the lined paper towels to absorb excess oil.

33:49.267 --> 33:58.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Roll the bread in a cinnamon sugar mixture while still hot, don't forget to coat these sides too.

33:58.200 --> 34:14.164
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it my friends, now go do what you do, make this recipe yours, and until I have another one of a recipe for you remember the story of Dianisia and La Vesmina.
