I buy up one ball of rags at 10 leva.

And 1000 balls -

that's a lot of money.

Rags you say?

- Rags.

Daddy!

Here, daddy!

- 20 leva.

Here, Dad!

Daddy!

- That's my boy!

What's going on?

- There's no more, Dad.

What do you mean?

Look everywhere.

Everywhere!

You two don't.

There's nothing more.

Hey, Purko!

Come on! Gee!

What is it, Kuno?

Pay me back by tomorrow night or

I'll haVe your field and wheat sold.

Come on! Gee!

Faster!

Black Saanen dairy goat.

Always has twins.

The miracle of nature!

The small elephant

from Stranja Mountain.

Saanen goat. Always has twins.

- The miracle of nature!

The small elephant

from Stranja Mountain.

The miracle of nature!

The small elephant

from Stranja Mountain.

Black Saanen dairy goat.

Always has twins.

The small elephant

from Stranja Mountain.

Black Saanen dairy goat.

The miracle of nature!

The small elephant

from Stranja Mountain.

The miracle...

- Black Saanen...

Give me that for a moment, pal!

Can you... play?

Just give me that.

You play very well!

You should here me

play the vlak-forn.

I play from music.

Well, I play by ear.

How much for the goat?

- 800 leva.

How much for the pig?

- 1000 leva.

But this breed

gets as big as an elephant.

Let it get that big first.

We're both musicians, right?

I'll give you a discount.

It's nice to have appetite

but yours is outstanding!

At this rate

you'll get as big as an elephant

not by Christmas

but by St. Demetrius in November.

What kind of a wonderful breed

do you belong to?

Come out of there!

What is this pig?

- It's not a pig.

This is the small elephant

from Stranja.

And where is the goat?

- I traded it.

The pig ate the soap!

- It ate the soap!

Come on! Where are you?

Who told Mito to toll the bell

when by law only I haVe that right?

No one.

- The thing squalled like thunder.

We'll see.

I'll look into it!

This can't be!

- It's impossible.

Could the food

be flowing out the rear?

Take it out for inspection.

- Go in if you dare.

Go on!

I say we discontinue

the inspection of the incident.

This animal may look like a pig

but it is a suspicious character

of a type unknown around here.

It is a pig.

But it grows as big as an elephant.

Then feed it.

Don't let it scare the Village again.

I do feed it, Mayor. I promise.

Purko!

Purko!

What is it? What happened?

The egg came first.

And who laid it?

- The hen.

So?

- But where does the hen come from?

From an egg.

- So?

But who laid that egg?

- A hen? But where does it come from?

From an egg. But who laid it?

The hen.

- So?

But where does it come from?

- From an egg.

But who laid it?

- The hen.

But where does it come from?
