This lady will look after you on the plane.

You're my brave little girl.

Kiss Mom and Dad for me.

Tell them I'll see them soon.

I have to go to school.

Yes, perhaps one day.

I promise.

Everything will be fine, you'll see.

I love you.

Goodbye, grandmother.

God protects you.

Take this picture.

Your mother, your father, your sister.

Your mother, your father, your sister.

Go.

Here.

What?

A banana.

You peel it, like this.

Give it to me, comrade.

Dear Mom and Dad.

I'm on a big plane.

I miss you.

I love you.

How are you?

My darling.

My treasure.

Do you know how much I missed?

Cheers!

It's you and me.

What are you reading?

Sawyer, Thomas.

Or "Tom Sawyer" in America.

I read this book...

when I was the exact age

that you are now.

In Hungary, I published a lot

of great books.

What work are you doing here?

I work at an aircraft factory.

You prefer planes over books?

No.

The books are always

my first passion.

I knew you'd also like books.

Good night, Zsuzsi.

You've had such an eventful day.

Do you need to pee?

Did you bring your doll?

No, she is at home.

Goodnight, my angel.

Sleep well.

Good night, lady.

Where were you, darling?

Don't do that again.

Jeno, what has happened?

They have robbed her from us.

Dear Mom and Dad...

Open your eyes wide

to take everything in...

That incident...

It is very nice.

The jeans, how much?

Come on, how much?

No. I'm not selling them.

Wait your turn!

Down with American

imperialism!

We are hungry! We want to eat!

No, I beg you.

She took you away from us.

Nice color.

Yes.

We painted it together.

Sit.

Put this on before you catch a cold.

To remember us by.

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Translated from French,

sorry if there are mistakes.
