| 0:39.8 | Alvor lived with his cat in the little log college in the foothills of the Dovery Mountains. |
| 0:46.5 | He led a good life here in this beautiful land. In the spring, wildflowers dotted the fields |
| 0:56.4 | and meadows around his cottage. In the summer, the grass was green and tall and shimmered in the |
