We have almost come to the river. And someone is there.
Presenter: “How is the water?”
Man: “Nice.”

There are a lot of mosquitoes.

Presenter: “Jump from the hill!”
Brunette Girl: “Am I crazy?”
Presenter: “I jumped. It was fine, really.”

I said jump from there because the last time I jumped from there.

Brunette Girl: “I’ve jumped!”

The water is good, she said.

Well because these days, it’s too hot in Ukraine, so the water is like in an electric kettle.

Presenter: “Are you ready? Yes. Say ‘Yes.’ Yeah, me too. I am ready. Yeah.”

We have some thing here . . . and I don’t even know what the name is. But it’s like, not a sling; like a swing for kids. But usually I use it.

Here is the big stick and you can take it and jump into the water. But i will do it later.

Let me try the water.

Presenter: “Are you going to jump? Do it!

I jumped from here the last time, above this wood stick.

Good job!”

She said the water is too hot.

Blond Girl: “Yes.

Presenter: “Are you going to jump?”
Brunette Girl: “Yeah.”
Presenter: “Now, it’s your turn. Nice.

Thank you. Enough.
