But Rūta is already up. She's already in the café.
Rūta
Labas rytas, mano kavine! Dabar kepu.
Good morning, my café! Time to bake.

At six in the morning the phone rings.
Rūta
Alio? Močiute! Labas rytas!
Hello? Grandma! Good morning!
Rūtos močiutė
Labas rytas, Rūta! Ar tu jau kepi?
Good morning, Rūta! Are you baking already?
Rūta
Taip, kepu. O tu? Tu irgi nemiegi?
Yes, I'm baking. And you? Aren't you asleep either?
Rūtos močiutė
Ne. Aš irgi kepu. Mes nemiegame, mes kepame!
No. I'm baking too. We don't sleep, we bake!
Rūtos močiutė gyvena kaime. Ji kepa duoną kiekvieną rytą.
Rūta's grandmother lives in a village. She bakes bread every morning.
Rūtos močiutė
Ar tu valgai, Rūta? Visi valgo tavo pyragą. O tu?
Are you eating, Rūta? Everybody eats your cake. And you?
Rūta
Aš nealkana, močiute. Ir aš neturiu laiko.
I'm not hungry, Grandma. And I don't have time.
Rūtos močiutė
Nealkana? Alkanas žmogus – nelaimingas žmogus. Tu žinai.
Not hungry? A hungry person is an unhappy person. You know that.
Rūta
Žinau, žinau. Todėl mano kavinėje kiekvienas gauna pyrago.
I know, I know. That's why everybody in my café gets cake.
Seven o'clock. Rūta opens the café. Outside, people are already waiting.
Septintą Rūta atidaro duris. Ten jau laukia žmonės.
At seven Rūta opens the door. People are already waiting there.
Rūta
Labas rytas! Užeikite, užeikite!
Good morning! Come in, come in!
Pirmas ateina Jonas. Jis visą naktį groja, ir jis labai pavargęs.
Jonas comes in first. He plays all night, and he's very tired.
Jonas
Labas rytas, Rūta... Arbatos, prašau. Tik arbatos.
Morning, Rūta... Tea, please. Just tea.
Rūta
Gerai, Jonai. Tu ne alkanas, o pavargęs. Štai didelis puodelis arbatos.
All right, Jonas. You're not hungry, you're tired. Here's a big cup of tea.
Rūta žino, ko nori kiekvienas. Ona jai viską sako.
Rūta knows what everybody wants. Ona tells her everything.
Then Ona comes in, with Elzė on her way to school.
Rūta
Labas rytas, ponia Ona! Labas, Elze! Ko jūs norite?
Good morning, Mrs Ona! Hi, Elzė! What would you two like?
Ona
Man – juodos arbatos, be cukraus.
Black tea for me, no sugar.
Elzė
O man – blynų! Dešimt blynų!
And pancakes for me! Ten pancakes!
Ona
Elze! Ne dešimt. Du.
Elzė! Not ten. Two.
Rūta
Du blynai su sviestu ir puodelis pieno. Ir vienas mažas blynas Miciui.
Two pancakes with butter and a cup of milk. And one small pancake for Micius.
Micius jau sėdi ant kėdės. Jam labai patinka blynai.
Micius is already sitting on a chair. He loves pancakes.
Eight o'clock. The café is full. A woman in a smart grey coat hurries in, her phone in her hand.
Moteris
Kavos, prašau! Greitai! Aš skubu.
A coffee, please! Quickly! I'm in a hurry.
Rūta
Labas rytas! Kavą su pienu? Su cukrumi?
Good morning! Coffee with milk? With sugar?
Moteris
Be pieno. Be cukraus. Ir be pyrago! Aš nealkana.
No milk. No sugar. And no cake! I'm not hungry.
„Aš nealkana.“ Rūtai tai labai nepatinka.
"I'm not hungry." Rūta doesn't like that at all.
Rūta
Jūs nealkana? Bet jūs labai pavargusi. Štai kava. Ir pyragas – nuo manęs.
You're not hungry? But you're very tired. Here's your coffee. And the cake is on me.
Moteris
Ne, ačiū! Aš neturiu laiko. Kiek kainuoja kava?
No, thank you! I don't have time. How much is the coffee?
Rūta
Du eurai trisdešimt centų. Pyragas nieko nekainuoja.
Two euros thirty. The cake costs nothing.
The woman looks at the cake. She takes one bite. Then another.
Moteris
Hmm... Man labai patinka! Ar galiu gauti dar vieną?
Mmm... I really like it! Can I have another one?
Rūta
Žinoma! Sėskite, prašau.
Of course! Sit down, please.
Ir ji sėdi. Ir valgo. Ir ji jau nepavargusi.
And she sits. And eats. And she isn't tired any more.
Evening. The last guest has gone. Rūta counts the money, and Micius sits in the café window.
Vakaras. Kavinėje tuščia.
Evening. The café is empty.
Rūta
Šiandien – aštuoniasdešimt žmonių! Ir visi gauna pyrago.
Eighty people today! And everybody gets cake.
Vėl skamba telefonas. Rūta jau žino: tai močiutė.
The phone rings again. Rūta already knows: it's Grandma.
Rūtos močiutė
Na, Rūta? Ar tu valgai?
Well, Rūta? Are you eating?
Rūta
Taip, močiute! Dabar valgau. Duoną su sūriu ir pyragą.
Yes, Grandma! I'm eating now. Bread with cheese, and cake.
O Micius? Micius irgi valgo. Žuvį, žinoma.
And Micius? Micius is eating too. Fish, of course.
Rūta
Labanakt, Miciau. Rytoj vėl penktą ryto!
Good night, Micius. Tomorrow, five in the morning again!
