Well, a text very interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yes, I mean, I've got much the text of today. With some some expressions interesting
Starting point is 00:06:11 too. Yes, we're going to see now. Well, before, before I'm going to
Starting point is 00:06:17 explain the text in English. Okay, so as we join this conversation, Rory is already working
Starting point is 00:06:24 away in the attic cleaning in preparation for Alejandro's arrival. Maria arrives unexpectedly, explaining that
Starting point is 00:06:31 they had made a mistake when they were organizing their work schedule and that's where she works as a lifeguard at the beach and there turned out to be one too many people at work. Sienpre-trapachmos of three,
Starting point is 00:06:45 so we've done down to that there's over a little bit stressed with all the cleaning he's having to do as a result of Alejandro's staying in the hotel. He's been shut up in the attic, cleaning, organizing boxes and indeed not talking to a single soul. So he feels his Spanish is suffering too. Maria says that it's his responsibility to do the cleaning, as it's his friend who's coming.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And Rory accepts this, although he didn't expect it to be such hard work. Once more, he seems to be allergic to the dust. His eyes are watering, and he's finding it hard to breathe. These caches viegers me dieran the eyes and me awoke at respiration. Maria suggests that they open the windows and that he has a break. She'll go and get some things for breakfast, and they can eat. eat them calmly. Then they'll get back to work and together they'll clean the room more quickly. While Rory is very grateful to Maria, he does feel sorry that she's having to waste her day off,
Starting point is 00:07:46 cleaning the attic with him. However, Maria agrees that it's too much work for one person on his own and perhaps Tia Consuelo didn't realize this. This reminds Rory that Consuelo has also asked him to do something else. He has to label all the boxes and to take an inventory of everything and he's beginning to regret ever starting the process. He had things much easier working in the reception. With what bien that I was saying to abitations and sunriending in reception. Maria can't quite believe that they've got to open up all the boxes,
Starting point is 00:08:19 list the items and label them. But she's not put off. She suggests that she goes and gets the items they need and they'll tackle the job after they've eaten. She also asks if Rody wants her to pick up something for his allergy and suggests some eyedrops, along with labels and a pen to write on the labels. As Maria heads off to the coffee and the pharmacy, the conversation finishes.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Well, it's a conversation very interesting, no? Desilgoes that. There's a phrase that me has called a little bit of the attention. Yes, which is the last part when Maria says, oh, desire conceded. Deso conceded. Yes. You can't explain a little this phrase, for favor.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Well, we're going to put us in situation. I'm sure that you've seen the movie of Disney Aladdin. Aladdin, yeah. And also other versions of this movie, because no exist only one version of Disney? Well,
Starting point is 00:09:14 you remember, the genie of the lampara that you conceded three desires? What is what does the genie when concede one of these desires? Well, it's in English.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Your wish is my command. There you go. The wish is granted. All of a sudden. Very, Deso concededio. Deseo conceded. Okay, so first of all, when I saw this expression, I looked at Deso, and I thought, Deso is from the verb, desire.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And it's the first person singular, meaning I wish. Or I desire. And then the concededo, of course, meaning granted. So I wish, granted. It just sounded a little funny. But now, of course, I've realized that that deseo is a noun, of course. So, Deso Concededido. Your wish is my command.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Your wish is granted. Your wishes will come true, whatever you want. Thank you very much, Mark. Well, it's very interesting. Of course, there are much things in the text of what we can talk, but for today, for this version Corta, the preview version, is all for today. Very well, well, much thanks.
