"Calm down, be quiet, be quiet, are you being rowdy again?" "Didn't I tell you a hundred times to line up when drinking water?" "Excuse me, sir, may I, sir?"

"No, sir, who said I could put the cask together?" "The kids said, well sir" "He didn't know" "Well, you know fixing it is not as easy as it look lt needs tools" "You should buy a new cask" "Anyway, to put this one together is tough it won't last" "The government should buy you a new cask lf we request the government to send us a cask it would take a long time" "And there is no one here who sells new casks anyway lt's not a bad idea if you could drop by school and see if you could fix this same cask or not?" "If it's fixed you have helped the kids and also I" "After all, your child studies in this same school" "Ok, no problem" "But these few days I'm very busy" "Hopefully I'll come over next week and see if I can fix it or not?" "That's too late" "Well, I have work to do and I can't just leave everything" "Now can't you take one day off work lt's for a good cause" "This gentleman is new here..." "The kids don't have drinking water at school" "They're giving him a hard time" "You don't know anything about myjob or my life" "Don't talk nonsense" "We're sorry to have bothered you" "Good day, you're welcome" "Daddy, why don't you come to school" "Why did you talk to him like that?" "How did I talk?" "I have a thousand things to do I can't leave people's work in God's hope and come to school to fix a cask for free lf l don't work who's going to feed you ha?" "Now would it have mattered" "if you had first gone to school in the morning and then to work I'm afraid the teacher is going to get upset with what you've done and is going to throw the child out of school at the end" "First of all, he's not gonna do anything like that" "Then if he did, he did I'll take him to work with me" "So he can learn something whatever he's studied is enough" "Come on, get to bed... lf you cry again, I'll teach you a lesson I'm embarrassed to look at the teacher's face in the morning" "Look at you, you go to school to study or to look at the teacher in the face?" "Come on and go to sleep" "Daddy, won't you come to fix the cask?" "How many times should I tell you I've work to do I can't come I have worked at people's house I have to go finish theirjob I have to get wheat and harley so we have food for winter" "I gave my work that you come to school and fix the cask" "You shouldn't have done that" "You should ask me first and then give your word" "Go to school, you're gonna be late..." "Go to school, it's gonna be late, go" "May I, sir, Ghanbary is not here" "Not here?" "Where is he?" "lsmaiely, go to their house" "Tell him I said to return to school at once" "Say that your father didn't come to fix the cask, that's ok" "Tell him if he doesn't come I'll come and bring him myself understand?" "Run and come back quick" "Mrs. Kobra, isn't Ghanbary home?" "No, he's at school" "He has run away from school" "Run away?" "Why?" "His father didn't come to fix the cask" "He ran away because of embarrassment" "How many times did I tell that man go to school he didn't" "And now they've thrown him out of school" "He got the belt a lot" "What's the hurry, Kobra?" "Abmad has run away from school, I don't know" "He's gone, haven't you seen him?" "You'll find him, don't worry" "Don't panic, he'll come home when he gets hungry" "You'll find him" "What's time, why have you put 7 3 times 7 is 21" "That's not right...put 8" "Ok, wipe it off, ha" "May I, sir?" "Where have you been?" "Aa, nothing, sir i went and came back quickly" "Why did you leave school without permission ha?" "Sir, I went to get my father to come and fix the cask" "Silence" "What are you laughing at?" "Shhh, all right sit down lt doesn't matter if your father doesn't come, you understand?" "Next time don't leave school without permission, ok?" "Good, go sit down" "See, your father didn't come you have to fix the cask yourself remember I told you that your father doesn't work for free" "I was right" "Fourth grader be quiet" "Ebrahimy, you won't leave the first graders" "And you bother the fifth graders" "Why are you so rowdy?" "All right, Abdollahy, go sit down" "Fifth graders, write these down and do them at home tonight" "Ghanbary, have you seen lsmaiely?" "No, hasn't he come yet?" "I sent him after you he went to your house" "They threw the child out of school" "How many times did I tell you to go by the school" "Since you didn't go" "They threw the child out of school" "Threw him out?" "I don't know they say he got embarrassed and ran away" "He ran away?" "Probably his teacher told him something and he got embarrassed I know what to do with that teacher" "He has to look for the child and find him" "Mr. headmaster didn't say anything" "He ran away himself" "You be quiet. I'll break your legs" "You run away, ha l'll teach you a lesson" "What is going on, sir?" "This is a school" "So what, it's a school, the hell it's school" "Leave him alone, man" "Calm down, daddy..." "You should be ashamed of yourself at least be ashamed of the teacher" "Leave him alone, man." "Leave him alone" "What's with you?" "What has he done to deserve this" "What's with you?" "Why are you harassing him?" "I won't let him beat him up... I won't let him hit him again" "You gonna come home then I know what to do with you" "You gonna come home at the end" "We thought he came to fix the cask" "Now we know he came to beat up the child" "Excuse me, Mr. Headmaster" "Whenever Ahmads' father get upset he doesn't know what he's doing" "You must forgive him" "Go home" "All right, sir" "Please keep the school's order ls this your cask?" "Yes" "You can't do anything to it" "Why?" "This side...that side lt's a mess, this side is broken, the neck is brok" "You can't do anything to it lt's all broken" "You can't do anything to it" "Now, can't you put it together somehow?" "If you get me some ash..." "Yes and lot of egg white and lime" "Yes" "Get them maybe I can do something" "Yes" "May be it won't work" "Can't you fasten it together?" "It needs tools man, need wires" "Needs a drill to make a hole in it" "Needs wires so I can fasten them" "Another thing lt's worn out" "Summers' heat and winter's cold has done a lot of damage" "Now if you get the tools I said lime, egg white and ash, then see if I can do something for you" "Then you think it might be fixed ha?" "Hope to God" "When you prepare these things?" "Next week hopefully" "Either fix it this week or next week" "All right then go to your classes, go" "Good bye" "Good bye" "You go to class, hurry up" "Silence, I said listen" "As you saw Ghanbary's father is suppose to come fix the school's cask" "To do this, he is going to need a little lime, ash and egg white" "Tomorrow everyone bring a little refined, soft ash lime and egg" "Sir I, sir i, sir i... I said whoever can bring some bring it" "Now quietly go home..." "Daddy, Mr. Ghanbary wants to fix the school's cask" "He told the headmaster for us to bring lime, ash and egg I want to take eggs" "We don't have eggs" "We don't have'em to eat and then you want to take'em to school to fix a cask" "All the kids are bringing something I'll be embarrassed if I don't take something" "Ok, mom, won't you give me?" "I don't have any, don't you understand?" "Then what shall I take?" "Can't you see all this ash child?" "Ash." "Only ash?" "Ha, this ash, however much you want" "Now go do your homework" "There, some lime and some ash, do you want to take both" "Oh no, if I touch the lime I'll burn my hands and blind myself" "You'll burn your hands, let me pour it for you" "There's no eggs" "Then what am I gonna take for school?" "Nothing, you take nothing tomorrow others will bring all lime, ash and eggs and it'll be more than enough" "But why shouldn't I take anything" "Don't heat the child" "Take ash, ash I'm not taking ash, I'm not I'm not, you'll see" "You are, too I'm not going to graze sheep anymore I'll break your legs I am coming to school tomorrow morning and complain" "What kind of school is this, they want something everyday" "The government should buy the cask" "Tomorrow I'll come and complain I'm gonna tell'em that you come home everyday and make trouble" "Why don't you do your homework lf you want, I'll boil you couple of eggs to eat tonight or you can take them to school tomorrow" "Why are you upset?" "Your father promised to go and fix the cask" "You don't need to take nothing anymore" "The others will bring what's needed lf you bother him hell get angry and won't go to fix the cask" "Then you look like a fool in front of all the kids" "Now sit here and say, I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed." "Did you take the eggs in here?" "Yes, I wanna take'em to school and fix the cask with the white" "You just took some eggs yesterday now you want to take these again?" "I didn't take'em to school" "Silence." "Look, what a mess you've made here." "What is this?" "I've brought refined lime I've brought ash" "Who said for you to bring so much ash and lime?" "What a mess?" "What have you done to yourself?" "Did I say bring it and pour it on yourself?" "Yea?" "Sir, I brought eggs" "Sir, I brought eggs but they broke on the way" "Ok, keep it for now... who else brought eggs?" "Me, sir" "You keep it too" "Sir, excuse me" "Can Ghanbary go ask his father if 4 eggs are enough, sir?" "That's not necessary" "Obviously 4 eggs aren't enough" "Now bring everything that you brought and put it next to the cask... gently put it here... tomorrow morning you don't need to bring ash and lime" "Whoever can, bring eggs" "Now go to your classes" "Go on, come on, hurry up" "Everybody up!" "Have a seat, look kids" "When did I say for you to bring so much ash and lime" "Look what you've done to yourself and the school" "We need eggs more tomorrow, try to bring eggs" "Sir, we...we...we don't have a hen to bring eggs" "Sir, we don't have any either" "Sir, we don't either" "All right, whoever brings eggs gets an A for art" "You can draw on the eggs carefully but make sure they're raw" "OK" "Mrs. Zynab, how many eggs do you have to lead me to Hossein can take to school" "Mrs. Zynab!" "Does he want to take'em to school and eat them?" "No, he doesn't want to eat them." "So what he wants them for?" "He wants them for his art class" "No, no, I don't have any" "Daddy, can you draw a donkey on this to look like a nice horse?" "What do you mean?" "Draw donkeys and horses on the egg?" "The teacher said to draw on eggs I can't draw on eggs, you do it" "Bahayo, I don't have colored pencils" "What shall I draw with?" "I don't know, do it with charcoal and ink" "Why're you asking me?" "Ask your teacher" "Ehh..." "Why're you beating up the animal, are you sick?" "Be quiet kids" "We have 15 eggs here" "Some of the drawings are not bad, of course" "Some are very good" "Sir, may I... if someone hasn't brought eggs will he get an F for art?" "No, they have to do other things" "Sir...sir may I sat for a long time but our hen didn't lay eggs" "My father gave me 2 rials and said you could go and buy them" "There's no need for money, go and get in line, go on" "Sir, may I you've collected a lot of eggs" "Thank God" "The white is gonna be used to fix the cask and the yokes you can have to eat" "What a trick to get all these eggs" "Rahmany, who taught you these words?" "Lift your head up let me see where did you learn these things" "Sir, I was just joking" "You're not joking l'm sure they say these things at your house, all right" "I want you to take your egg back home with you, you understand?" "Sir, I won't do that" "Sir, I know who told him" "He's got a real sting father" "You be quiet, nobody asked you" "Come on get in line, come on" "All those who brought eggs, they can take their eggs home l've written down all the names I'll give'em grade for art" "Sir, don't you wanna fix the cask" "Sir, can I go tell my father to come fix the cask" "I said, everyone take their eggs" "Why are you waiting" "We don't need eggs" "Sir, I'm not taking my eggs" "Whoever doesn't take'em, don't come tomorrow, understand?" "Who's is this egg?" "I said who's is this?" "Sir, please forgive me" "Excuse me, sir" "Please forgive me, sir" "I put the eggs in your room?" "The headmaster is here, hello" "Hello there" "More power to you!" "My headmaster you're still very young you're not old like us to get angry quickly" "Why, what happened?" "You don't have to hide it from us" "When the kids came back from school" "They told us that you were upset of the things" "Abbas Ali's son said" "Well, you know there is a lot of that nonsense you shouldn't pay attention" "What are you talking about?" "What was the thing about egg yokes that made you upset?" "Now when is Gholamhosin suppose to come fix the cask?" "We don't know yet." "Goodbye" "Who is it?" "I'm coming" "Hello" "Hello, Mr. Headmaster" "Come in please" "No, it's late lf you can please come fix the school's cask" "We got everything that was needed" "Hopefully I'll be there to fix it the day after tomorrow I'm real busy tomorrow I can't be" "By the way, headmaster I heard you got upset today" "Goodbye, when you come to school, we'll talk" "Mr. headmaster, I wanted to tell you something I wanted to tell you not to be hurt from the kids" "They're just kids" "They don't know what they're talking about" "Of course, it's their parent' fault lf the fathers don't say so the kids won't for instance that" "You fix the school's cask with the egg whites and eat the yokes" "You work hard for the kids" "Excuse me I have to be going somewhere I'm afraid it'll be late, goodbye" "Hello, there" "What's the hurry, teacher?" "Don't let yourself get all upset" "Let me say what they want to say, you know" "You work hard for the kids" "Aren't you allowed to have 4 eggs?" "You look weak, you need to eat the eggs to get in shape" "Believe me" "When my son told me about you getting upset from what" "Abbas Ali's son said and got angry l got so angry that I boxed him in the ear and told him not to repeat that anywhere else ls there anything else?" "Ehh, where to?" "What kind of people are they?" "Hello, Mr. Headmaster I've been all over the place I also went to school, you weren't there" "You got a parcel and a letter from town I put them in the room I filled up the kettle with water" "Swept the room, too" "Tea is also ready" "Thank you, you've done a lot" "Sir, when is Gholambosin coming to fix the cask?" "He'll eventually come everything's ready" "Today, in the village there was a lot of talk about you" "They were saying you're upset" "Mahmood, please don't talk about today anymore" "You had written that" "Since you don't want to live alone one of the village's youngs is rooming with you" "That's good I've sent you a little jam and rice l sent you a shirt, too lt's nothing really" "Let us know of your well being" "By the way, write me lf you've gotten paid or not?" "It's very delicious" "Do you want some more?" "No, sir, I've had my dinner" "You go ahead" "By the way, sir" "Everybody knows this guy Abbas Ali Rahmany he's a very stingy man" "That's why he had taught his son to say about egg yolks" "That's enough, Mahmood" "Sir, do you think the cask will get fixed or not?" "What is it to you?" "You are not a student here" "But sir, I really like to drink from this cask" "When I drink from the school's cask, I feel like a student" "You've never been to school?" "Sir... can't you do something so I can be the school's head-servant?" "Mahmood, you can tell the kids to bring bread to school tomorrow" "Bread?" "!" "Yeah, just a piece as big as the palm of the hand" "You just tell two or three of them they'll let the others know" "Sir, Kazemy is eating his bread I said, wait." "Don't eat..."

"It's not tasty. lt has no salt I'm gonna tell him..."

"The government should buy the cask themselves" "Put your hand in your pocket, close your eyes" "And remember God" "Give me whatever you can afford I won't leave until you give it to me" "Take this two tomans and take the kids out of here I told you I'll get it" "Let's go kids" "What on earth are you up to, Khavar?" "You've caused a lot of trouble in the village" "Doesn't this village have an elder?" "Doesn't it have a chief?" "Yes, it has an elder and a chief" "But a school without a cask ls it any of your business if the school has a cask or doesn't?" "Why do you force people against their will?" "Why are you acting crazy?" "If that young headmaster hadn't fooled you" "You wouldn't be going around..." "Nobody fooled me I'm not forcing no one" "They can give whatever they want" "Now tell me how much are you gonna give for the school's cask?" "Excuse me" "Yes, come in" "Are you here, Mr. headmaster" "Come in please" "You are an educated and understanding man" "Why are you doing something so you regret later?" "What has happened?" "What did you expect to happen?" "She's not a bad woman You don't know her" "She's not bad, she works hard and it's her desire to always help people" "But she's very simple minded Mind you she's a little off" "You told her to walk around the village and ask people for things and make a scene?" "Well done I didn't tell here anything..." "She volunteered herself" "She doesn't know what she's doing" "People are going to say a thousand things about her" "They'll say they want the money and everything for themselves lf that day comes then would you do this..." "Now can't they drink water from that bucket for a while" "Put it next to the school and let the kids drink from it" "No, I can't" "That bucket is worn out and rusty lt's got holes all over" "When the kids used to fill it up with water and bring it to school it would become half" "Besides tin is dangerous the kids push each other on top of it lf they cut their lips and mouth drinking who's gonna answer their parents?" "Anyway, you know better this woman is doing it in your name ln my name?" "Why in my name?" "You name or the school's name and it doesn ' t look good" "She won't buy you any casks anyway I'm just here to tell you, it's up to you to liste" "Mostafa, Mostafa lt's me, Khavar, open the door lt's Khavar... I only have one toman" "That's ok" "You didn't even have to give this You go and feed your kids" "That's ok l wish the rich and the big shots had a little of your zeel" "That's enough woman, go away" "Did I tell you to collect money and goods for the cask I did it myself I'll buy that cask at last and I'll put it in the corner of that school" "Be ashamed of yourself woman" "Enough fooling around" "Leave this man alone..." "Hay you kids, get out of here" "Why are you following this woman?" "All right chief." "You've said it all." "How much are you going to pay?" "I'm not gonna kid with a crazy woman" "You do whatever the hell you please" "Now, we'll see if this crazy woman can get a cask and put it in the school" "And that was my share I doubt if she can get a cask with little money like that" "Hurray!" "Hurray!" "Thanks for helping young man" "Don't listen to what people say." "Khavar is on her word and going on strong" "How's Mohammad Ali" "Mohammad Ali is fine" "Seyed Reza!" "Please come and buy these things and take'em!" "Come and see what I've got." "Walnuts, almonds, berries" "Come and buy these, you'll do good" "We want to go buy a cask help us for the school" "These people are scared of each other" "You two come and be my witnesses" "So later there'll be no rumors when I sell these I won't get mixed up in these business" "See all these things, just look at them I won't get mixed up with this I'm not buying anything" "Then I'll take'em home and keep'em." "Let people say whatever they like." "Abbas, go get the cask and put it in the school" "Mr headmaster, kids!" "Come here see Abbas is going to buy the cask" "Hurray!" "Hurray!"

"Take'em away." "Sir, I'm scared of water" "Come on, no problem" "You just fell in it once" "Sit down, don't be afraid" "Hey, don't throw water, don't" "Don't splash water" "Don't splash water" "All right, drinking water and playing is over" "Tomorrow don't forget to bring cups So you won't need to use your hands" "Understand?" "What's that, what's that" "What is it ha lt's beautiful lt makes my mouth run" "What is it?" "A punch?" "It's delicious, you give us some I bet it's in the water" "I bet it is!" "The same water we drink" "Give me the bottle" "Let me see what's in it I won't, I won't" "Leave it alone" "Come on, let see what it is" "Give it here" "You'll break my bottle" "You broke my bottle!" "You broke it!" "Oh no, my hand, oh my hand, I cut my hand" "What is it, what's going on" "Sir, sir, may I lt's Ebrahymy's fault" "He wanted to take Ghanbary's bottle" "How many times did I tell you not to do these things" "Ha, I'm tired of you" "Oh, oh, help, yes sir help oh, ah, my sides" "All right, all right." "Get up." "Does it hurt a lot?" "See what you've done?" "Get up." "See what you've done to the child's hand, see" "Get up" "Sir, sir don't worry." "He's playing sick." "Nothing'll happen to him."

"Yea?" "It looks as if you are feeling better" "Can you get up and walk?" "Walk home slowly and rest there" "And don't fight with anyone anymore, ok" "Sir, sir, he has brought a brain instead of a cup!" "He wants to take a bath." "Sir, he has brought a bucket instead of a cup I didn't bring a bucket to drink from, sir i brought it for the school" "None of these containers are of any use I said be quiet" "Take all the bottles, glasses crystal glasses and anything breakable and put it on the edge of the porch" "Then what shall we drink with, sir?" "I don't know" "Now do as I said And go on to your classes" "Go on to your classes" "Ghanbary, come here" "Why did you do something for me to hit you like that?" "How's your hand?" "It's not too bad, sir" "Any news from Ebrahymy" "No, no, I just wanted to ask you where their house was?" "Their house is down the village" "How are they getting on?" "They don't own any lands or farms" "His father went to down for labor" "He comes back every winter" "At Norooz, he's gonna go again" "All right, when you go home say hi to your Dad" "Hello, Mr headmaster Where are you going sir?" "The weather is pretty good. I'm taking a walk" "What happened to the cask?" "is Abbas going to bring it?" "He will, he's not late, goodbye I doubt it!" "How are you?" "Much better sir lf you feel better why didn't you come to school in the afternoon?" "You weren't suppose to be lazy" "Ha, take this, it's yours lt's a little rice, tell your mother to cook you a little soup" "And come to school in the morning" "You shouldn't have, sir" "Please come in" "No thanks I have something to do I have to get back, good bye" "Sir, sir!" "my mother gave you a little walnut I didn't want walnuts, take'em back home" "She'll get upset, if you don't take'em This sack is yours too" "When's Seyed Yahya going to town to bring some oil" "When the weather gets better, he'll go." "Don't bother him" "The headmaster gave these: a sack of walnuts, two letters and 200 tomans." "He said for Yahya to send it to his mother" "Put it over there" "Goodbye I don't know what to do with what people say..." "I'm gonna die, oh God" "What shall I do with these people" "What is it?" "What happened?" "Why are you crying?" "Mam..." "Sir, I don't know where Abbas has gone I don't know if he got stock in mind or the tornado and storm trapped him Or the cask may be broken?" "All right, there's nothing, to worry about" "Hopefully he'll come back soon" "He'll come" "What do you mean?" "He'll come back" "People are killing me with the things they say..." "They say he took the money and went to spend it in town" "They say, they saw him eating Kabab He wanted to go see a movie... I know my kid!" "he's not the type to do these things and bring me embarrassment" "Let'em say what they want, don't listen to them" "Let'em say what they want" "Another says, he went to live in town" "One says, he went to open a shop" "Another says, he went to get married" "What they say is like an arrow going through my heart I couldn't get out of the house for two days, I didn't have shoes to wear I went to Seyed Reza and got a pair of boots" "They say I bought the boots with the cask's money I swear I counted all the money and gave it to Abbas to go to town I know, I know, you don't need to be sad" "Sir, did you give the walnuts to your mother?" "Walnuts?" "Yes." "is there something wrong?" "No, no, nothing is wrong." "Don't worry" "Worried?" "Why should I be worried" "How can I say" "They say I secretly gave you all the walnuts for you to send to your mother" "What do they mean" "They should be ashamed of themselves" "They're not fair at all" "Sir, they sang songs too" "Mohammad Ali sing that song" "Go on son lf you wanna cask in the village" "Give money, give figs" "Give walnuts..." "The headmaster's mother got walnuts" "He got all of Mr Javad's money" "What can you tell these people they don't have shame?" "Aren't they Muslems" "Why do they talk behind people's back so much?" "Don't worry That's gonna wash their sins" "How can I not worry I'm not made of stone I'm a human being I got to know what's going on" "Who wrote that nonsense and give it to them" "They threw it in our house" "May I sir You want me to tell you who said it?" "It was Moosa, the one that grazes the sheep." "He has only studied up to the fourth grade." "Whatever happened he says a song He says he's the village poet" "What has happened sir?" "Why aren't you sleeping?" "Aren't you feeling well?" "I can't sleep, you get some sleep I was awake I saw you not sleep till morning I don't want to make you upset" "Sir, are you upset or what Ravar said about the walnuts" "Don't even think about it I said get some sleep" "My headmaster, please wait, where are you going?" "I wish you be here when Abbas brings the cask and puts it here" "Where are you going?" "You see, because of you the headmaster is going to leave" "You talked so much behind her back, you see..." "Be ashamed of yourselves" "Look I paid from my own money to buy these boots..." "Not from the cask's" "And I gave the walnuts to him myself." "He wouldn't accept them... I begged him to take'em I just saw him a few days ago" "He was going to Ebrahymy's house to see how he's feeling I saw him myself." "He was hiding a sack under his shirt." "He asked me where Ebrahymy's house was?" "Oh my, at least one of you should see that" "He has done a lot for your kids" "And the school's cask?" "I gave the school a cask and you broke it lt broke itself Don't blame it on us" "Besides, that water with it's sour taste is not worth a penny" "Poor man, he was so upset That he couldn't sleep till morning" "Everybody be quiet" "Let the headmaster say it himself" "After all, he's more educated and understands better" "Mr headmaster, if you're upset from anyone I'll tell him to come to you and ask for forgiveness I'm not upset from anyone I'm tired of this..." "You take over the school And I'll report to the office ln the next two or three days you'll have a new teacher" "They're not gonna let go Where do you want to go" "You've put your life on these kids." "We care about our children too" "We care, too" "Mr headmaster, you're like my son" "See my grey beard..." "Listen to this old man" "See what I have to say Then if you want to go, go" "May God be with you..." "You're educated, you know lf talking behind people's back and gossips were meant to stop people from what they're doing" "Then the religious heads wouldn't have carried on with their works" "What about me?" "I can't make a living anymore" "Don't get rowdy now, what do you want?" "You want money?" "I'll tell'em to give you" "Come on, don't break our heart" "Mr. Headmaster" "Now you see, be on your way" "Don't say anymore" "Take this." "God be with you" "Sir, sir, please don't go Don't go" "Sir, are you sulking?" "We didn't do nothing wrong?" "Sir, shall I go to class?" "Go to class, why do you ask?" "The headmaster will come soon" "Come on kids, go to class" "Please go to class" "Thanks a lot I'll think of something for the kid's water" "Hope to God"
