"Cheragh Ali!" "Get up!" "For God ' s sake, open your eyes." "God!" "Put the baby down and run." "Just run!" "Oh God!" "My kids became orphans." "Hey, Akbar!" "Foal!" "Why do you run like that?" "Are you blind?" "Are you deaf too?" "Shouldn't you hear the sound of the car?" "Why isn't she back?" " Did you hear my talk with your father last night?" " Yes." "Whatever we wanted to do can't be done now." "What about my exam?" "First, you turn off the lamp and the samovar." "But I have an exam today." "Don't leave the child with Akbar." "But I have an exam." "Girl, why don't you understand?" "Get in." "Take care of the children." "Now, go." "Let's go." "Eh!" "How should I write now?" "Why didn't you do it last night?" "When the electricity was out?" "Look!" "There's no electricity." "None!" "Go to Sorrayyah's house and do it." "Their dog is hostile to me." "What about breakfast?" "Don't eat for a day." "You won't die!" "Even when I ' m hungry?" "Put the match down." "Either homework or breakfast!" "Get lost!" "Are you satisfied now?" "Move aside." "Go." "Didn't I tell you to put the matchbox down?" "For God ' s sake, go to sleep and don't bother me." "Don't study." "It's useless when you can't take the exam." "It's not my fault." "It's Nabat's fault." "Come and rock her." "I ' m not a girl!" "Will you come or should I get you?" "Hurry!" "Rock her." "Ugh!" "What should I do with her now?" "Nabat dear, I have studies to do." "Be quiet." "If I let her drink so much to burst!" "Come." "Come on, little one." "C ' mon!" "What time is it?" "I said what the time is." "The fox told the cock..." "7:30." "Why did I mix hay?" "Don't!" "Don't do that!" "Can't you see I have homework to do?" "Now you see that I..." "Don't touch!" "Can't you see I have homework?" "Get some sleep." "Drink!" "You can see I ' m like my father in a good voice." "Should I look after a baby even when I can't do it?" "For God ' s sake, don't move." "For God ' s sake, don't move." "Ouch!" "Don't move." "Why are you doing this?" "Hayat!" "Hayat!" "She isn't in." "She's gone to tell Nad Ali my dad can't go to work today." "Ouch!" "My leg!" "I won't get there on time." "Who's going to take care of Nabat if she goes to school?" "How do I know?" "Will you look after her?" "Me?" "No way!" "Look, lady." "I ' m not going to hurt you." "I just want to milk you." "What if I get tetanus?" "I ' II pass." "Hayat will pass too." "It's no joke." "Are you a joke?" "The exam is very difficult." "The genius students from other villages are coming too." "Five out of 30 will be accepted for boarding school." "For genius students." "Our Hayat will be accepted too." "How do you know?" "My mom said so." "Not everything she says happens." "She's a top student." "She got a better grade on her disciplinary conduct." "Otherwise, I would ' ve been the top student." "You ' re not now!" "Her studies aren't better than mine." "Hers is much better than yours." "No!" "Yes!" "Her math is better than yours" "But not her Persian." "Yes!" "How do you know she could take the test?" "Her studies are much better than yours." "What time is it?" "Fatemeh was here." "If you want the dogs..." "What did she want?" "She said you wouldn't pass." "What else did she say?" "She said Hayat would fail." "Jealous!" "What did you tell her?" "I wanted to hit her!" "She ran away." "Can I go to school now?" "I haven't finished my work yet." "When will you change her?" "Stinky!" "A farmer reaped 1,000 kg chick peas." "If next year he reaps 1/3 of the 1st year and in 3rd year 1/3 of the 2nd year... 1,000 x 1/3 = 3.333 kg..." "x 1/3 = 111 kg... + 333 = 444 kg x 3,000 rials per kg equals..." "Damn the eyes that are closed untimely." "This one's finished too." "What's the matter with you?" "Pooh!" "When will you finish?" "Everybody's gone to school." "Wait!" "Hold the baby." "What time is it?" "The same as yesterday!" "C ' mon!" "I ' m late." "Hurry up!" "Where?" "I ' m late for school." "Then hold Nabat till I tell them." "How many times should I tell you?" "Their dog is hostile to me." "Hold the baby." "Oh, Gosh!" "What should I say?" "Tell them mom can't go help them with carpet weaving." "Say..." "Antibiotic." "A group of antibacterial are called antibiotics." "In old times, moulded bread and cheese were put on wounds." "Granny Fatemeh!" "Granny Fatemeh!" "Auntie Beigom!" "Hello." "Wel... come!" "I wanted to leave Nabat with you for an hour." "I ' II take my exam and come back." "Neigh... bour!" "Wa... ter!" "Phew!" "Having neighbours is good for such days!" "Great!" "Didn't you say you had an exam?" "One litre equals 1,000 millilitres." "For example, influenza virus damages respiratory system and polio damages nervous system." "Just like Auntie Beigom now and like Leila Yekja Neshin who had a high fever last year and because of her family's indifference..." "Hello!" "Hello." "Hey!" "Cheragh Ali's daughter!" "Are you dumb?" "You ' re deaf too?" " Sir, she said hello." " Yes." " She said hello." " There you go." "Doomsday is now!" "Right." " This is Doomsday!" " Yes." "When nobody cares, when being young or old has no meaning, that's Doomsday!" "Yes." "Doomsday's a day like that." "Mash Sultan Ali, she said hello." "We replied her too." "Yes!" "Yes!" "Right." "I know I ' m right!" "What a beautiful Nabat!" "When I wanted to serve in the army, she wasn't this big." "Is your mother home?" "What grade is he?" "Nabat?" "No!" "I mean Akbar." "He's in 2nd grade." "Is she home?" "Cutie!" "Who?" "Your mother!" "She's gone to the butcher's." "What should I do now?" "About what?" "Nabat." "Nabat?" "I wanted to leave her with your mother so I could take my exam." "What exam?" "I ' ve lived in this world 60 years with an ID and 20 years without!" "How many years does it add up to?" "70 years!" "Is it too much to say hello?" "No." "Do you see that black-haired brat?" "If it weren't for me, her mother wouldn't have married her father." "Hossein Qoli wouldn't have married his daughter to him." "Hey!" "Foal!" "Come here!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello." "There you go!" "See?" "That's the reward I get for fixing her parents' marriage." "What do you say now?" "Sultan Ali." "Let us smoke our darn pipe." "Well done!" "You ' re the only one who understands well!" "Marziyyeh!" "Marziyyeh!" "Hayat?" "Here?" "Will do something for me?" "What?" "Will you look after Nabat till I take my exam?" "You must ask my mom." "If you tell my mom you ' re going to school to do an exam, she won't agree." "Tell her you ' re going to have a bath." " Bath?" " Yes." "Tell her Nabat has wet your clothes." "That's why you should take a bath so you could say prayers." "OK." "My mother didn't let me go to school." "If you ' d come, you ' d have certainly been accepted in genius children's school." " Don't forget the bath." " OK." "Why are you back, girl?" "Well..." "Hello, Auntie Ashraf." "Hello." "How is your father?" "I don't know." "Hayat says..." "Hayat, you tell her." "Can Marziyyeh look after Nabat for an hour till I get back?" "Where do you want to go?" "You want to play?" "No." "I want to..." "To take a bath." "Nabat has wet her clothes." "That's why she wants to have a bath." "She wants to say prayers." "No." "I want to take a test." "It won't take more than hour." "Auntie Ashraf, I ' II come back soon." "Your mother isn't home for a day." "You take care of your child and life." "Instead of this, try to learn embroidery, cooking, sewing, and making tea." "So, when you ' re married tomorrow, you won't make people's son unfortunate." "School is for men." "You're still holding the basket of bread in your hands." "Sorry I said something else." "There was no problem if my mother had agreed." " Don't tell anyone." " What?" "I have a suitor!" " Hello." " Hello." "Give her to me." "I ' II take her to the field." "Where will you leave her?" "I ' II find a place for her." "So she catches cold?" "I ' ve raised 5 children like you." "I also put shroud on 4 of them!" "Do you want to teach me how to raise children?" "Your child will be warm on your back from your body heat." "But the ground is cold." "Then why did you come here?" "I thought you ' d stay home." "Where are you taking her now?" "To school." "One day," "Narges..." "One day," "Narges felt her tooth has become loose." "She's still holding Nabat." "Is loose with two o's or one?" "Quiet!" "What's that you ' re holding?" "Sir, she's Nabat." "I know." "Why have you brought her to school?" "Sir, they've taken my dad to the doctor." "My mom isn't home either." "Well?" "Sir, can I keep Nabat with me?" "In the exam?" "An exam that's even tougher than a final exam?" "Excuse me, sir." "I explained everything to all of you before." "The invigilators and the exam questions... are sent here from the province." "They've all arrived." "Have they?" "The doors will be closed in 5 minutes." "I..." "Why don't you leave her with one of your relatives?" "Sir." "By God, she won't cry." "Go leave her with someone." "Then come back quickly." "Sir." "They've all gone to the field or have work to do." "Hayat, don't waste time." "Take her to the caretaker." "To house and return soon." "Sir." "Your wife quarrelled with my mom in the public bath." "Really?" "When?" "Yesterday, sir." "I see." "You can't take her to the exam room." "If she cries or does something wrong, pupils who haven't passed the test would blame your sister for not passing the exam." "Hayat, you do understand." "Got worried." "May I, Miss?" "What is it?" "Can I be excused?" "She remembered Shirin's tooth." "May I, Miss?" "Don't speak." "Third graders, is your composition finished?" "May I, Miss?" "I ' m really pressed." "May I go?" "Write." "Write before you fall behind." "Write!" "And it shakes." "Uncle Abbas!" "Uncle Abbas!" "The ratio of the cyclist's speed to that of Hayat and Nabat is like the ratio of 16 to 4." "When the cyclist travels 400 km, how far can Hayat and Nabat travel?" "I don't know why I don't know the ratio well." "Auntie Beigom!" "Auntie Beigom!" "She isn't in." "Her daughter found out she wasn't well." "So she came and took her with herself." "Is Auntie Seddiqeh home?" "She's gone to my father's grave." "I ' m sorry." "I didn't remember." "May God bless him!" "May I, Miss?" "Don't speak!" "O' Malik!" "Justice and fairness are the first objectives of the government programme." "The courtroom is the nation's house and the law is the public's right." "Objective..." "It means goal." "I won't get to the exam on time." "What if she chokes on milk?" "Sleep!" "Drink!" "Now Fatemeh would think I didn't go to school because I hadn't studied." "Iran's volcano is Mt Demavend." "Which electrical appliances in your house work with an electric engine?" "Fridge, washing machine, electric fan." "We don't have a vacuum cleaner." "We don't have a juicer either." "My dad has a water pump in the storeroom." "What else works with electricity?" "Electricity?" "Fair means exhibition." "Fare means ticket price." "Endowment is another example of cooperation." "Iraq is one of Iran's neighbours." "Finally in 1988, the ceasefire between Iran and Iraq was declared and the war was over." "Nabat, sleep!" "For God ' s sake, sleep." "What should I do with you?" "We don't have more than five grades here." "That's why dad said if I didn't pass the genius test, he won't let me go to school any more." "If I pass the exam, dad won't have to pay for my tuition." "My dear girl, you have your bottle." "Clean nappy too." "Sleep!" "For God ' s sake, sleep." "Nabat dear, don't cry for an hour." "Just an hour!" "Could you please wait a few more minutes?" "No, sir." "I can't delay the exam any more." "I told you what our problem is." "One of our best students hasn't arrived yet." "Best student!" "Really!" "Are you sure she intends to come?" "Only 5 more minutes." "2 minutes!" "May I, Miss?" "Excuse me, Miss." "She'll certainly come." "Milk is not a plaything." "If you don't boil and strain it, it'll go bad." "Instead of taking care of the housework while your mother isn't home, all you think of is wandering in the alleys." "I have an exam." "AN EXAM!" "Don't shout at me." "How insolent!" "Rude!" "May I, Miss?" "I really have to go to the lavatory!" "Oh!" "You haven't strained today's milk." "Have you waited to get bigger than me?" "Where's the milk strainer?" "Look!" "You haven't separated the cream." "You could at least do it and gave some to that boy to eat." "So he won't faint in the class." "Sit down." "Sit!" "I have an exam." "I ' m late, Granny Belqeis." "Sit down." "Hold this." "Hold it!" "Before I was your age, I had a baby in my arm," "doing housework, and field work." "A baby on my back, a morsel in my hand." "For God ' s sake, let me go." "That's right!" "I ' m blind." "I look funny." "Are you making fun of me, cheeky girl?" "Do you think I wouldn't tell your mother even if you cried?" "What have I done?" "Calling me a hag?" "Cheeky, girl!" "Doomsday is today." "What a life!" "I won't share milk with your mother again." "Rude!" "You ' re very rude." "I ' m late!" "I ' m late!" "Get down to business." "Thank God I earn religious money." "We know what's religious and unreligious." "Shameless!" "Draw a line on the wall." "Don't draw, girl!" "That line represents three cups." "Well, empty three." "For God ' s sake, empty three cups." "Put your four fingers on the wall and then draw." "Clumsy!" "Excuse me, Miss." "This question wasn't in the book." "Count 2 cups of milk each day for yourself." "Our milk is 8 cups." "It's 1 to 4." "The ratio of Belqeis," "Sultan Ali's wife to the milk of Maliheh, wife of Cheragh Ali is 8 to 2 or 4 to 1!" "What did you say?" "Me?" "My lips shouldn't move." "Whatever I say is right." "I can't leave as long as she's sitting by the door." "She won't leave until she's done her work." "So I must listen to whatever she says and get rid of her soon." "Thank God Nabat isn't crying now." "Don't draw lines on the wall." "The accounts will get mixed." "Your mother has brought me milk for 40 days." "We drew line on the wall to see how many more days" "I must bring milk to get even with her." "You don't know how to greet." "At least do the counting to see if you know how." "That's right." "Each line represents 5 days." "Do you let me go now?" "I ' ve brought 9 days out of 10." "I ' II bring milk for another day too." "I ' II do that." "We won't cheat even if we' re needy." "By God!" "I ' m late for school." "Granny Belqeis, I can't take my exam." "Well done!" "If you learn to say hello too, you ' II become a lady." "I swear I said hello." "Alright, my dear." "I forgive you this time." "Greeting brings health." "When you pass the street and greet everyone, they'll all say," ""What a nice girl Maliheh is." "She's wise and polite. "" "It makes no difference when you pass one old man or five old men in the street." "Greet them." "I swear I did greet." "When a girl is passing, she must say hello." "Say it." "Say what?" "Ask for permission." "Say Akbar has wet his trousers." "What's going on beside the window?" "Suddenly the food hit his tooth." "May I, Miss?" "Akbar's trousers have wet itself!" "What if the cat opens the door!" "Or one of the chickens pecks her eyes and blinds her?" "May I, Miss?" "Can I go change my trousers?" "Why are you going, then?" "Second graders, put your pen down." "Zeinab!" "Collect the notebooks." "Nabat dear, don't cry." "Don't, dear." "Don't cry, Nabat dear." "You must keep your dog on a lead." "You must!" "What do you want from our dog?" "Me?" "What does it want from me?" "Your dog mustn't come to the alley." " Where should it go, then?" " Anywhere he likes." "Tools like lever and steep surfaces that ease our job are called machine." "Don't cry." "Don't!" "For God ' s sake, don't cry." "I won't leave you alone again." "For God ' s sake, be quiet and don't cry." "Don't cry." "Be quiet, ok?" "If you don't cry, we won't have any problem." "I ' II take the exam next year." "No problem." "I didn't want to leave you alone." "If dad gets better, it's better than anything else." "Why don't you go do your exam?" "Do you want to fail?" "It will ' ve been over, by the time I get there." "They were reading the questions to them just now." "What about Nabat?" "I don't know." "Get up." "Hurry!" "Take Nabat to school till I come." "Take her to school?" "Don't waste time." "Don't drop her." "Take care of her." "Wait by the school ' s door till I come." "Go away, wanderers!" "Excuse me, sir." "We want to see Leila Yekja Neshin." "Can't you see the exam is in session?" "May I, sir?" "Excuse me, sir." "He wants to see me." " Don't leave the class." " I won't, Miss." "Why Hayat isn't coming?" "Fatemeh!" "Fatemeh!" "Open the window." "Open the window." "Quiet!" "Leila Yekja Neshin." "Quiet!" "May I, sir?" "I feel hot." "Can you open the window?" "I ' II do that." "Write!" "May I, Miss?" "His trousers are still wet." "Quiet!" "Didn't you change it?" "Quiet!" "May I, Miss?" "I changed it." "When I was coming here, a dog that doesn't like me..." "I fell into water." "They' re the same trousers." "Excuse me." "They' re not the same." "My dad bought me two like each other!" "Quiet!" "Go sit down." "May I, Miss?" "The wire!" "The wire!" "What?" "What should I do with it?" "Tie the wire to the chair." "What should I do?" "Tie the wire around your chair." "What's going on there?" "Excuse me, Miss." "It's too dark here." "Can I go by the window?" "Quiet!" "Sir?" "Can she take the exam?" "Now?" "Please, Miss." "Go sit down." "Where's your mind at?" "First answer the questions you know." "Then go to the next questions." "You don't have time to review." " May I, sir?" " Yes?" "Alright!" "Write!" "Pull!" "A village woman milks her cow every day..." "That bitter day passed." "With his determination, Edison tried to make up for his failure." "Determination!" "Determination means..."
