Laberinto del Fauno, El Page #3

---

They protected one another and slept

in the shade of a colossal fig tree

that grew on a hill, near the mill.

But now, the tree is dying.

Ofelia?

Ofelia?

Hurry up.

I want to see the dress on you.

I want you to be beautiful

for the Captain.

You'll look like a Princess.

A Princess?

Make sure those chickens

are cleaned properly.

And don't forget the beans.

- You look marvelous, my girl, just beautiful.

- What a gorgeous dress!

Get back to work,

stop wasting time.

Do you want some milk with honey?

Move back, we can't have you getting milk

on your dress, with you looking so pretty.

Mercedes.

Do you believe in fairies?

No.

But when I was a little girl,

I did.

I believed in a lot of things

I don't believe any more.

Last night,

a fairy visited me.

Really?

And it wasn't alone,

there were lots of them...

- ...and a faun, too.

- A faun?

He was very old, very tall

and smelled like earth.

My mother warned me

to be wary of fauns.

Mercedes!

Come with me.

Captain,

everything is here.

Flour, salt, oil, medicine...

...olives, bacon.

This-this is real tobacco.

And the ration cards.

- I need you to check the inventory.

- Very well.

Mercedes.

- The key.

- Yes, sir.

- Is this the only copy?

- The only one.

From now on, I'll carry it.

Captain.

Captain,

perhaps it's nothing.

It's them.

"Once upon a time,

when the forest was young..."

"...they were home to creatures

who were full of magic and wonder."

"They protected one another..."

"...and slept in the shade

of a colossal fig tree..."

...that grew on a hill, near the mill."

"But now, the tree is dying."

"Its branches are dry,

its trunk old and twisted."

"A monstrous toad

has settled in its roots..."

"...and won't let the tree thrive."

"You must put the three magic

stones in the toad's mouth..."

"...and retrieve the golden key

from inside his belly."

"Only then will the fig tree

flourish again."

They were here

less than twenty minutes ago.

They left in a hurry.

A dozen men, at most.

Antibiotics.

Sh*t, they forgot this lottery ticket.

They're here.

Those sons of b*tches are here...

...and they're watching us.

Hey!

You left this behind!

And your lottery ticket!

Why don't you come back

and get it?

Who knows?

This could be your lucky day!

Hello.

I'm Princess Moanna...

...and I'm not afraid of you.

Aren't you ashamed

living down here...

...eating all these bugs...

...and growing fat

while the tree dies?

Hey!

Have you looked in her room?

And the pantry?

Yes, ma'am.

Have you checked the garden?

- And the barn?

- Yes, ma'am.

Where is that girl?

This way, please.

Let me to introduce you

to my wife, Carmen.
