    Hvala.
  • 0:16 - 0:21
    Nekoč je v Indiji živel kralj, maharadža.
    In za njegov rojstni dan je bilo odločeno,
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    da morajo vsi poglavarji prinesti darila,
    primerna za kralja.
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    Nekateri so prinesli fino svilo,
    nekateri imenitne meče
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    in nekateri zlato.
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    Zadnji je pristopil zguban starec,
    ki je pripotoval iz daljne vasi.
