every time you want one.
Yes, she can!
Well, she's not gonna get anything
she wants at the orphanage, is she?
Keep it, Dun!
What's an... orphanage?
It's a place with bars on the windows...
Big iron bars that you can't get out!
And you're not allowed outside,
except when they say.
And they whip you...
they whip you with whips!
And they never give you
enough to eat.
And you wear sack-cloth
and sleep on bare boards.
And they put the girls in one place
and the boys in another.
And you're not allowed to talk...
or they'll whip you!
Why do we have to go
to an orphanage?
Because we're... orphans.
No... silly!.
We won't tell them.
Please, Elsa...
Can I have a biscuit now?
They'll find out!
The funeral men will tell.
Any grown-up will tell.
We won't tell them, then.
We have to tell them...
we have to have a funeral.
Why?
Because you have to bury the dead...
that's why.
Why?
Because God said so!
What did God say, Dun?
For dust thou art...
...and dust to dust
thou shallt return.
What happens, Dun?
The funeral man
puts the body in a box.
And he carries it to the graveyard.
They dig the ground...
And they make the grave.
And they put the body
in the grave.
Put the earth back... and then...
They're not going to take mother
away from us, are they?
Elsa...
Can't we bury Mother in the garden?
Then we needn't tell anybody!
Mother!
Mother!
Where's Mother?
It's alright, Willy... it's alright!
Better get ready for school.
Jimminy!
It's school time.
Come on, Jimminy!
Now then... remember...
If anyone asks about Mother...
You just say she's ill.
Because she's been ill
a long time.
That's right...
and she's still very ill.
She's not ill... she's dead.
Oh, Gerty!
But she is, isn't she?
Yes, but you mustn't tell anyone.
Remember?
Not even Miss Bailey?
You'll never understand.
I do!..It's a secret!
And if we tell
we go to hell.
That's right!
Come on... we mustn't be late.
Jimminy... no hanging about
after school.
Remember?
It's Mother's cheque.
Elsa...
Do we HAVE to go?
Don't worry...
Come on, we'll manage.
We managed all the time
Mother was ill...
We'll manage now.
We've got to have faith.
Yes, Willy...
we'll talk to her tonight.
We'll have "Mother-time" the same
as usual... and we'll talk to her.
Everything's going to be
exactly the same, as it always was.
Oh Mother, you are always with us.
Oh Mother, you are
always with us.
When we are awake
and when we are asleep.
When we are awake
and when we are asleep.
We kept with you to guide us.
We kept with you to guide us.
To watch us and to love us
To watch us and to love us
In your house and in your tabernacle
In your house and
