00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.160
Because<00:25:22.319><c> if</c><00:25:22.460><c> we</c><00:25:22.579><c> can</c><00:25:22.779><c> find</c><00:25:23.000><c> the</c><00:25:23.279><c> story</c><00:25:23.539><c> of</c><00:25:23.720><c> the</c><00:25:23.900><c> chiasmus</c><00:25:24.720><c> then</c>

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:27.960

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:33.839
