including that poor wretch
your men tried to kill-
They only wanted to
teach him a lesson-
We aren't killers-
They're rabble---
worse than animals-
They must be punished
for stealing-
That man was seriously
weakened by malaria-
I read in the paper
about malaria today-
The politicians say we
should pay for the quinine
out of our pockets-
But they don't say how
much it would cost-
Three lire a worker,
wife and relatives included-
If three lire is enough-
Three lire---
That would help to
save human lives-
They say we landowners
are parasites,
we eat all the profits and
don't invest in the property-
They consider us less
than the industrialists-
not of the same color-
You're a priest---
isn't there anything
that makes you angry?
Man's exploitation of other men,
speculators who abuse people
for their own profit
and treat them as though
they were objects-
All we needed
was a socialist priest-
Those are the words of
His Holiness Leo XIII-
He wrote them in the
encyclical "Rerum Novarum-"
I am too busy to keep up
with the Pope's moods-
Here-
These are the candles for
the church at Campomorto-
Thank you so much-
And for the other day-
As for my husband---
No- Don't worry-
make life a lot easier-
Thank you, Lord,
for the food you have given us-
- Go to bed now-
- All right, father-
very tired-
One to say good night---
one to make you sleep---
and one to make you dream-
Good night, little butterfly-
Come here, you-
- Don't be late-
- I have to do some darning-
When the priest saw you
it was as though
he'd seen a ghost-
I met him the other day
on the canal-
He was lost-
You should have seen his face!
Your father's already creaking
like a funeral carriage-
I'm tired-
I can't take anymore-
That's enough for tonight-
Good night-
Don't be late-
It gets light early these days-
What's that?
Have you read it?
One day I will
leave here for good-
I don't want to stay here
and end up like father-
Are you afraid of death?
I don't know-
I'm not-
I'm just afraid of dying without
What?
I don't know,
something that---
I don't know-
Lord, I pray you-
Make us all happy-
Never let us stop
dreaming and hoping-
Amen-
You soon dropped off
to sleep last night-
- Good morning-
- Good morning-
I'll take that-
Thank you-
I have to hurry-
I have to do the shopping-
Good morning-
The usual -
Flour, salt, cotton,
buttons, chestnuts
and tallow, please-
There you are-
The flour has gone up-
It's the same flour
