>> [music] >> The horse is said to be an exceedingly graceful animal. The slow camera reveals a natural grace in the animal which the eye seldom sees.
With the aid of the slow motion camera, we are better able to appreciate the effortless grace of a thoroughbred in motion. Plenty of power here and with a minimum of effort. The true poetry [music] of rhythmic motion.
Back in the days when grandma was a girl, there was no such thing as a traffic problem. The speed limit fixed at trotting pace and when grandpa got tired of driving, all he had to do was tie the reins around the whip socket and give old Maud her head.

>> It was delicious after the long hot day to splash about in the cool water. And we stayed there till it was quite dark and we could see stars.
We went last night to a cinematograph show which lasts for half an hour and it is the sort of thing these people love.
They come out when the show is over, stand about and exit theater, all right, and then go in again, and then go in again, and then go in again, and then and then >> TV TV
