AutoplayEnglish

Early morning at number 7. The house is still asleep.
Ir rīts. Mājā ir ļoti kluss.
Morning. It's very quiet in the house.
Maija jau ir nomodā. Muris arī.
Maija is already awake. So is Muris.
Maija
Labrīt, Muri! Vai tu esi izsalcis?
Good morning, Muris! Are you hungry?
Jā. Muris ir ļoti izsalcis.
Yes. Muris is very hungry.
Maija
Lūdzu. Bet tu neesi mans kaķis!
Here you go. But you're not my cat!
The cat eats, washes his face, and walks out of the door.
Muris iet uz kafejnīcu.
Muris goes to the café.
In the café, Liene is putting cakes in the window.
Liene
Ak! Labrīt, saimniek!
Oh! Good morning, boss!
Liene
Kafiju vai tēju?
Coffee or tea?
Kafiju? Nē. Tēju? Nē. Muris skatās uz kūku.
Coffee? No. Tea? No. Muris is looking at the cake.
Liene
Nē! Kūka nav tev!
No, no, no! The cake isn't for you!
A moment later the cake on the counter is a little smaller, and the cat is gone.
Liene
Muri! Kur tu esi?
Muris! Where are you?
On the stairs, Elīna sits with her school bag.
Elīna
Sveiks, Muri! Mēs esam draugi, vai ne?
Hi, Muris! We're friends, aren't we?
Muris ir Elīnas draugs. Elīna ir viņa draudzene.
Muris is Elīna's friend, and Elīna is his.
Elīna
Vecmāmiņ! Vai Muris ir tavs kaķis?
Grandma! Is Muris your cat?
Maija
Nē. Muris nav mans kaķis.
No. Muris is not my cat.
Elīna
Kam viņš pieder? Jānim?
Then who is his owner? Jānis?
Maija
Nē. Ne Jānim. Arī ne Lienei.
No, not Jānis. And not Liene.
Elīna
Kur dzīvo Muris?
So where does Muris live?
Maija
Šeit. Tur. Augšā. Lejā. Un kafejnīcā.
Here. And there. And upstairs. And downstairs. And in the café.
That evening you come home and search all your pockets.
Ak nē... Kur ir mana atslēga?
Oh no... Where's my key?
Ak nē... Kur ir mana atslēga?
Oh no... Where's my key?
Bērziņas kundze! Vai jūs zināt, kur ir mana atslēga?
Mrs Bērziņa! Do you know where my key is?
Bērziņas kundze! Vai jūs zināt, kur ir mana atslēga?
Mrs Bērziņa! Do you know where my key is?
Maija
Jūsu atslēga? Es nezinu. Varbūt Muris zina.
Your key? I don't know. Maybe Muris knows.
Night. Upstairs, a trumpet is playing, very quietly.
Labvakar, Jāni. Atvainojiet... Vai Muris ir te?
Good evening, Jānis. Sorry... Is Muris here?
Labvakar, Jāni. Atvainojiet... Vai Muris ir te?
Good evening, Jānis. Sorry... Is Muris here?
Jānis
Jā. Viņš guļ tur, viesistabā.
Yes. He's asleep over there, in the living room.
Behind the sofa there is an old wooden box. In the box: keys. A lot of keys.
Kas tas ir? Atslēga... Un atslēga... Un atslēga!
What's this? A key... and a key... and a key!
Kas tas ir? Atslēga... Un atslēga... Un atslēga!
What's this? A key... and a key... and a key!
Jānis
Tā ir mana atslēga! Tā ir Lienes atslēga!
That's my key! And that one is Liene's!
Un te ir mana atslēga! Muri!
And here's my key! Muris!
Un te ir mana atslēga! Muri!
And here's my key! Muris!
Muris vairs neguļ. Viņš ir ļoti priecīgs.
Muris isn't asleep any more. He's very happy.
Jānis
Varbūt tās ir viņa mājas. Katra atslēga ir viņa mājas.
Maybe those are his homes. Every key is his home.
Labi, Muri. Tu te esi saimnieks. Bet es ņemu atslēgu!
All right, Muris. You're the boss here. But I'm taking the key!
Labi, Muri. Tu te esi saimnieks. Bet es ņemu atslēgu!
All right, Muris. You're the boss here. But I'm taking the key!
Ar labu nakti, Muri. Ar labu nakti, māja.
Good night, Muris. Good night, house.
