Koj yuav tsum ua tib zoo xav kom txhua txhua thiab totaub meej meej txog tej uas kuv yuav hais no. Suav txij li hnub uas Vajtswv hais kom rov txhim kho lub nroog Yeluxalees dua tshiab mus txog thaum tus uas Vajtswv xaiv los ua tus thawjtswj los txog lawm, yuav ntev txog plaub caug cuaj xyoos. Lub nroog Yeluxalees uas luag txhim kho dua tshiab ntawd yuav muaj ntau txojkev thiab tej ntsa yeej yuav khov kho vij lub nroog. Lub nroog no yuav nyob ruaj khov plaub puas peb caug plaub xyoos, uas yog tiam muaj kev txomnyem ntxhov siab.
