God commanded that when a man

and woman love each other...

...they take vows.

Vows are like promises.

They make promises to each other

in the eyes of God.

And that's called

the marriage ceremony.

Here's the ceremony

your father used to say...

...when he performed marriages

at the mission.

What about the life facts?

When a girl becomes a woman,

and a boy becomes a man...

- When's that?

- Well, it's different for everyone...

...but you'll know when it happens.

- How?

Lilli, your body will become rounder.

You'll grow breasts like mine.

And you'll bleed a bit

from between your legs.

I don't wanna bleed.

It only lasts a few days.

And it's a great blessing

because it means you can have a baby.

- Do I have to bleed?

- No. But your body will change too.

Your voice gets deeper.

Hair will grow on your face.

You'd look handsome with a beard.

Unless you want to scrape it off.

- I want the baby now.

- You can't. You're not ready yet.

Also, you need the man

to make the baby inside you.

Inside me?

Yes. There's a special place

inside a woman...

...where the baby stays nice

and warm and safe...

...until it's ready

to be born into the world.

How does the baby get in there?

Well...

...after they're married,

the man and woman lie very...

...very close together and... -

- I know. It's like the iguanas, Lilli.

You know, when they get so close

you can't tell them apart.

- That's it.

- That's it?

Yes. Iguanas have

their babies soon after.

- That's it, Mother?

- Well, that's most of it.

That's what I've been waiting

to hear all day?

- That's not gonna help.

- Look what you did to my spear. Go away.

That was my fish.

Go back out where you belong.

Richard, look.

Now what are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do now, Richard?

- What are we gonna do?

- Will you be quiet and let me think?

Lilli!

Richard!

We're out past sunset.

Mother's gonna be angry.

- What are you doing?

- I've got an idea.

He's coming. Come on!

Where have you been?

Do you realize how late it is?

But there was this old shark in the

channel. He took Richard's spear.

I told you to keep away from sharks.

- Boat drifted loose.

- What are the rules?

- Be home by sunset always.

- And?

- Never to the north side of the island.

- Do you see that? A full moon!

We are going straight home and this is

never happening again. Do you hear me?

Oh! Lilli, Richard.

Go get some thatch.

Get back inside.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses as we...

...forgive those who trespass against

us. Lead us not into temptation...
