[00:00:01][music] [music] >> It's a perfect day to stay indoors and read.

[00:00:28]Excuse me, I'm looking for a quiet place to study. I know just the spot.

[00:00:33]You can sit by the window. It is very peaceful there.

[00:00:37]Thank you.

[00:00:45]Here you go. Oh, thank you so much.

[00:00:49]It's a beautiful edition.

[00:00:52]By the way, could you tell me how I can borrow this book?

[00:00:56]You just need a library card. Do you have one?

[00:01:00]Not yet. This is my first time here.

[00:01:02]Where can I sign up?

[00:01:03]You can apply at the reception desk over there. It only takes 5 minutes. Okay, thank you.

[00:01:11]The rain is getting heavier. I'm glad I found this place.

[00:01:15]It's the best spot in town on a day like this.

[00:01:19]By the way, what are you studying?

[00:01:22]I'm practicing English. I want to travel the world someday.

[00:01:27]I want to write a novel about a young witch in a flying bakery.

[00:01:30]That's a wonderful goal. Keep it up.

[00:01:33]Thank you.

[00:01:35]Do you mind if I sit here? I don't want to disturb you.

[00:01:38]Not at all. Make yourself at home.

[00:01:43]English grammar is quite tricky, isn't it?

[00:01:46]Don't worry. Practice makes perfect.

[00:01:48]What are you stuck on?

[00:01:50]What does rain cats and dogs mean exactly?

[00:01:54]It just means it's raining very heavily, like right now.

[00:01:58]Oh, I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

[00:02:04]Would you two like some warm apple cider? That sounds lovely. Thank you so much.

[00:02:10]So, where is the first place you want to visit? Mhm, I've always dreamed of seeing the clock tower in London.

[00:02:18]Mhm. You should go. Life is too short to wait. I hope so, but sometimes I worry my English isn't good enough yet.

[00:02:27]Don't be so hard on yourself. You're already speaking the language of dreams, and that's the hardest part. That's a lovely way to put it. Thank you, Oliver.

[00:02:36]Look, the weather is clearing up. It's beautiful. I should get going now. It was nice meeting you.

[00:02:43]It was a pleasure.

[00:02:45]Will you come back tomorrow?

[00:02:47]I think I will. I have a lot more to learn.

[00:02:51]Here is your card, dear. Enjoy your journey into stories. Thank you so much.

[00:02:55]That sounds like a beautiful journey.

[00:02:57]Have a wonderful day.

[00:03:02]Sometimes a rainy day leads to the best sunshine.

[00:03:09]Wait, she forgot her dreams here. I need to return this to her before she gets too far.

[00:03:15]Lily, wait a second. You left your notebook on the table.

[00:03:21]>> [panting] >> Lily. Oh, did I leave something behind?

[00:03:25]Your notebook. It would be a pity to lose these beautiful sketches. Thank you so much. It means the world to me.

[00:03:34]The air smells so fresh now. Do you smell that? Yes, it's the smell of a new beginning.

[00:03:39]We call it petrichor. Petrichor. What a lovely word. I'll write it down right now so I don't forget it. Oh, dear.

[00:03:47]Where is my pencil? I must have left it inside on the table. Here, you can borrow mine. Keep it as a small souvenir from our first lesson.

[00:03:58]Thank you. I will treasure it.

[00:04:01]Look, I'm drawing a tiny raindrop next to the word. Your handwriting is beautiful, Lily. It fits perfectly next to your London sketches.

[00:04:09]By the way, Oliver, do you come to this library every single day? Almost every afternoon. I love the smell of old books and the quietness here.

[00:04:17]I understand now.

[00:04:19]This place feels magical, especially after a heavy rain like today.

[00:04:25]Time flies when you're having fun.

[00:04:30]The library will close in a few minutes.

[00:04:33]You're right.

[00:04:36]I should head home before it gets completely dark.

[00:04:42]Let me walk you to the main gate. The steps might still be a bit slippery.

[00:04:49]Take care. See you tomorrow at the same time.

[00:04:54]Definitely. I'll be here. Have a great evening.

[00:05:00]A rainy day, a new friend, [music] and a beautiful new word.

[00:05:05]English isn't just a language, it's a bridge.
