because it's very, very precious to me.

Throw up your hands!

Hello, strangers!

trying to make an honest living.

with a tall journey.

- ln order to know all, l must touch them.

- Oh! What a novelty!

Watch closely! Close your eyes slowly.

Slowly... Slowly...

Slowly... Shut!

What is my fortune?

Once upon a time, there was a little girl

by the name of Red Riding Hood...

who had a very, very sick grandmother.

So Red Riding Hood's mother sent her

with a great big basket

to take to the grandmother.

So the wolf knew it

and ate the grandmother up

and she went to the house

and knocked on the door

and this voice...told her...

Said, ''Come in!'' And you know

what they said? He said that...

Now, you scurvy knave,

give back everything that you've taken.

Come, come.

- This belongs to me!

- Regardless of that.

Now, then, hurry.

- Give the gentleman back his valuables.

- l can explain!

l saw the whole thing with my own eyes.

- You don't realise...

- Quiet! Do as l say!

- There!

- ls that all?

No, sir. That's my watch!

- His watch?
