"Look!" "In a beutiful lake, they are playing and swimming so carefree" "And not notice how the clouds are darkening" "A tragedy is inevidably getting closer" "Their thoughts are pure, with no illwill behind them" "Like summer's warmth, like clear skies" "Do things like this really happen?" "People say Soul is a thought that is an unsolved puzzle" "It holds such secrets" "That it will reveal with a laugh" "Let's look carefully from a distance!" "The car won't get to where you are going." "You'll have to walk from here." "Right there is a teahouse, you can ask the road there" " Hello!" "Hello!" "I'm with my child we are going" "To a village called "Harana Oolaah", how do we get there?" ""Harana Oolaah", eh?" "Why are you going there?" "Well, I'm a teacher, I will be teaching children there" "Yeah..." "No one went to that viladge in a very long time" "To get there you'll have to go by an old overgrown road in the woods" "You'll get there in about 15 km." "Mom, when will we get home?" "Soon, we are close" "Mom will find a job there" "She will teach children to read and write" "You will have lot's of friends" "Ma, When will father come?" "Poster: "Fresh air, Tokyo"" "That nail again" "Alright, a play, we'll cheer up a bit" "Hello!" "Oh, you scared me!" "What a surprise!" "Where did you come from?" "I'm a teacher from the city" "A teacher, eh?" "You were gone for three years." "Where were you?" "How could you?" "We are waiting and waiting" "Children became complete idiots" "Well, let's go" "Deary, run from this village." "You are so young you'll die here." "Run, deary!" "Run, deary!" "Don't listen to that old hag." "She blabers nonsense on and on" "Hey!" "A teacher came from the city." "The one they sent, eh?" "Definetly her." "We came from the city" "I can teach young children music, drawing and foreign language." "You said you came from the city?" "We waited you for three years" "It's very good that you came" "From tomorrow, you will start teaching" "The school is close." "I don't care what you will be teaching" "But at the end of the year children must know how to read and write." "Don't teach foreign language, we don't need it." "Our children won't go anywhere." "Let them all stay here." "We will give you a house with a furnace" "In the fall we will give you firewood and clean up the ice." "Don't worry about anything" "We'll pay you, but not a lot." "The most important thing is that our children must learn to read and write." "They probably already forgot numbers and latters" "Well, come in." "Let's eat" "Later Keeti will walk you to your house" "You will sleep there today" "Well, we are here." "From here on out this will be your home" "There are probably some things inside" "You can use them" "Why?" "Well, no one needes them anymore, owners left a long time ago" "Who lived here before us?" "Well, Like you, it was a woman with a child." "She was a teacher here before you." "Well, start living in" "Here are the keys" "Ok, I'm late I got to go." "Keetii, you are not going to come in with us?" "Umm, no, no" "Ok, I'm late I got to go." "Mom!" "Mom!" "I found a doll" "Eww, drop it." "It must be from the previous child." "Well, alright." "You can play." "Mom, it turns out this doll doesn't have a brain" "Mom, we will never go back to the city, won't we?" "In half a year, but we are probably here for a long time" "You saw it, people here gave us a warm welcome" "Fed us well" "But I don't have a single friend here" "Well, they must have children here" "That we will play with you" "Mother will work here" "At school" "She will teach children to read and write" "Oh, you are sitting here, Sandaara" "I thought I lost you" "Mom, someone is walking inside the house" "There is someone there probably" "C'mon, who could be there?" "It's our home, isn't it?" "Take this hairbrush, I'm going to school" "Brush your hair" "My girl is a big girl, right?" "Let's go" "Oh, good." "You are sitting outside." "Oh, Keeti, hello!" " Hello!" "Did you sleep well?" "Good, but it was very cold" "Well, maybe it's because there weren't any people there for a long time" "When you get firewood, fire up the furnace it will get warm." "School is at the end of the road" "The black house" "There is a security guard" "She will introduse you to the children well, I'm off" "I will make my hair, change clothes and come" "Good, good" "Don't come to this village" "You are so young, you will die here" "Run, deary." "Run, deary." "Children, Today I will introduse you to" "Your new teacher" "Her name is Daiaana Semionovna" "She will teach you to read, write and count" "Listen to her." "Got it?" "If they don't listen to you, tell me, I'll kick their asses" "Good morning, dear children!" "At first I'd like to get to know you" "My name is Daiaana Semionovna" "Well, let's get to know each other." "What's your name?" "Well, now we know each other" "And now we are slowly opening our notebooks" "We got you!" "Who are you?" "I'm, Sandaara!" "Where are you from?" " From the city" "Do you want to play with us?" "Let's go" "C'mon!" "Let's go!" "Crybaby, crybaby..." "Devil" "Kids, what topic did you learn the last time?" "Let's open our books" "Please, Senia read it" "I'll listen" "Well" "Well then Aita, please" "Open the book and read it" "I'm listening" "Crybaby, crybaby..." "Enough!" "Does anyone here know how to read?" "This is the latter "A"" "C'mon, don't be afraid, come in" "Pop it" "Oh, God" "Give me the strenght" "Give me endurance, it's all I need" "Take me to heaven without a queue" "Show me where the road is" "Oh, God!" "The premiere of the play is soon" "We'll cheer up probably" "They laughed at me me that I was only hanging up posters" "We'll see their eyes and faces" "The previous girl, in how many days she was gone?" "Umm, 7 days" "She fell ill didn't she?" "Which teacher?" "The second one or the one before that?" "The three year one" "What happened to her?" "Does your sclerosis get the better of you?" "Don't you remember?" "Sclerotic!" "She was good at first too, right?" "Then she spent a night at that old house" "And killed her baby, didn't she?" "But where did she put the remains?" "Then the demons of the old house ate her right away, right?" "Oh, god" "Give me wings" "I only want a heavenly life" "Lound squaks of birds" "To get to heaven I only need wings" "My God!" "Our teacher is very naive" "She is so young, such a pity" "Living in that old house" "She'll probably go insane too, right?" "Well, what can we do, the fate will decide" "That young teacher" "How many days will she last?" "Oh, God!" "I only want a heavenly life" "Loud squaks of birds" "To get to heaven I only need wings" "Sandaara!" "Sandaara!" "Have you seen a little girl here?" "A girl in a red dress" "She left home and went to play I think" "Stop, stop, stop..." "What's with you?" "Go away, go" "Go, go I tell you, go home" "It's his personality" "If you don't touch him, he is harmless, doesn't touch anyone" "It's his habits, what can you do" "Calm down, let's get out of here" "You are looking for a child, right?" "In this village the villagers are" "Kind of weird" "Everyone acts like crazy people" "Eh, don't talk like that!" "We live in a village so we probably seem like that." "You probably got scared because that boy" "But he is a vey nice, straightforward, simple boy" "He doesn't like when people come close to him, so he tried to scare you away" "I know him since he was a baby" "Very good, simple person" "He probably got startled" "And he doesn't like strangers to come near him." "That's why he was like that" "Our village is very backward" "That's why it seems like that" "You came to work here on your own volition" "So, try to hang on" "Teach our children, educate them" "Children here don't know latters" "Even though they are so old" "Well, teachers don't come here" "And that's why it's like that" "They will learn, you just hang on" "Teach them poetry" "Tell them stories, folk tales, sing." "Children are children, but we are backwards" "Villagers who are close-minded to each other" "Yeah, if you look from the side" "We look pretty stupid" "But in our hearts we are somewhat compasionate people" "Don't blame us" "Look other there" "I have a house at the end of the village" "If you are confused, afraid or need anything" "Come to me" "We'll drink some tea and talk" "Well, let's go" "Keetii hit you on the back really hard" "And no one did anything about it" "Oh, dear." "I'm a sturdy person" "If someone hits me I don't worry about it" "It was a weak smack anyway." "Well, Keetii is Keetii" "Sometimes she acts like an idiot, but I don't worry about it." "Let them say whatever they want" "Don't you worry and don't be sad" "I don't worry about those things" "Ha Ha Ha it's even funny, Keetii" "She is a very active, busy person" "But don't get upset, work, hang on" "Sandaara, get down from there!" "Stop, don't move!" "Stay right there!" "Why did you get up there?" "Sandaara, please, don't move, Sandaara" "Sandaara, why are you crying?" "What happened?" "Sandaara, talk to me!" "Very bad kids, mommy" "What did they do?" "What happened?" "They did something bad" "What did they do?" "Tell me" "They did bad to me" "Don't cry, dear." "Everything will be better with time" "Mommy, taught children in school today to" "Read and write" "Don't cry, please" "Is it better now?" "What did the children do?"

"It's a very bad tale, can you tell us something about the war?" "Children, why doesn't anyone sit on this desk?" "Nurguyana, please, sit here" "Oh, no no, I won't sit there" "Why?" "Something bad will happen if someone sits there" "That's why no one sits there" "One girl sat at that desk" "She dissapeared, we searched for her everywhere but couldn't find her" "She was kind of strange" "Kids beat her up all the time" "Oh, and that girl lived in your house before" "What was her name?" "Sveta" "Her name is Sveta" "Devil" "Sandaara, Sandaara, Who drew that?" "Mom, mom, I didn't draw that" "I didn't draw that" "These are very bad drawings, mommy" "C'mon Sandaara, we will wash your hair now" "I will never wash again, there is soap in my eyes." "Children that never wash" "Become blacker than black crows" "And fly away very far" "I will also fly away after turning into a blacker than black crow" "Mom, are these also the children that never washed flying around?" "Yes, those are children that never washed" "Arms became black wings" "And noses became black beaks" "Mom, why do you lie to me?" "Children that never wash don't become crows" "They become black and die" "What are you talking about, Sandaara?" "Who told you that?" "Sveta told me that" "She is very scared of crows" "Crows want to eat her meat" "What nonsence, Sandaara!" "Mom, these crows are waiting for you to die" "Sandaara!"

"You will also enter our world soon" "Eat!" "Keetii!" "Keetii!" "Keetii!" "Hello!" "You scared me." "Keetii, Why are you running from me?" "No, I wasn't running" "I'm hanging up posters" "There will be a play" "What kind of play is it?" "A big one" "That's why I was hurrying" "It will be a very big grandiose play" "A few years in the making" "You should see it" "Well, I'm late" "Keetii, wait, I have a question to ask you" "Living in that old house" "I began having terrible, weird nightmares" "Well, tell me about them" "Please, give me some advise" "Once in a dream, I was sitting in the kitchen" "And in front of me a silver-haired devil woman is sitting" "And tells me to eat the food she is giving" "And even though I didn't like it I had to eat" "Then she is saying, laughing" "You will come other to other world" "What does it mean?" "I'm very scared" "Promise that you will definetly come to the play" "I promise I will come" "Really?" "Say "I swear"" "I swear!" "Well, I'll tell you something then" "Before you, in that house, a teacher lived" "With a small daughter" "She couldn't take it anymore and strangled her" "And no one knows where she dissapeared to" "No one knows" "You were saying you also have a daughter" "And where did she dissapear to?" "Well, I take her everywhere with me" "No, I have never seen your daughter" "You said you had a daughter" "I really wanted to see her" "But I never saw her." "Not once" "Whenever I see you, you are walking alone" "Keetii, as soon as I started living in that house" "Black crows started constantly flying around the house" "Why is that?" "Eh, who knows" "Probably just flying or?" "Or" "They smell something rotten underground probably" "How am I supposed to know?" "Your house is connected to the underworlds" "There is a door" "Do you know what it means?" "From the underworlds, devils come." "If we don't put anyone there, they" "Will go too far away from the house" "That's why we try to find new people to live there" "Well, that's how it is." "Of course it's scary, some people can't deal with it, a lot of people can't" "But we all knowing about it" "Put you to live there" "Because" "Here all the villagers know about it" "And because of that no one is dealing with it."

"Eh, I don't know" "I'm a small person" "I don't know anything" "Wait a bit maybe" "On the west side of the village your old hag lives" "Maybe you can go to her?" "Maybe she can give you some advise" "I don't know anything" "I don't make any decisions" "I'm a very small person" "She probably lives in a tiny tiny house" "Her name is Varvara" "If you ask there, anyone will tell you." "Well, I'm going, I can't make any decisions" "Keetii, What do I do next?" "You promised" "That you will come see the play" "Then you will definetly come well, I'm going" "Ayubi, I will ask you one last time!" "Maybe not?"
