Translate the following passage into Telugu: When we arrive at the traditional village, we meet some of the people who live there. One woman invites us to join her family in their home. We go in and sit down on the floor. The woman disappears, but before long her children arrive, laughing and smiling. We are delighted when they decide to perform a local dance to welcome us. A few minutes later, the woman returns with plates of chicken, beans and rice, and we all enjoy a meal together. It’s simple food, but delicious. We spend the rest of the day chatting. The woman explains that her husband doesn’t come home every evening: he regularly goes fishing and hunting for several days at a time. He takes a large basket with him, which he wears on his back so that he can carry as much food as possible. Later, as the sun goes down, it’s time for us to leave. The village will soon be dark except for some small wood fires. As we depart, the family starts to sing in perfect harmony. Neighbours fall silent to listen to them. It’s the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
