Coward!

I'm frightened...

someone may find us here...

Don't leave,

I want to stay here with you...

That was just a cow,

you were afraid for nothing.

You too, you were afraid.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Really?

But of course...

Thank you.

Stay a while...

I can't,

Nopoko is waiting.

Later, then...

Come no further!

Turn around!

One, two,

three, four...

five, six...

seven, eight...

nine, ten...

Can I come now?

No!

Tease!

One...

two...

three...

four...

five...

You can come now.

You'll get yours one day.

I didn't know

you loved me that much...

Stop talking nonsense...

Little fool!

I'll never play with you again!

Go on ahead,

I'll catch up with you.

One day walking past here...

father and I saw a big fat rabbit.

But in the time it took to

string an arrow, it had fled...

Stop telling lies...

They're challenging us.

Let's run!

It won't do us any good.

I'm going to fight them...

Bastards!

Why don't you get lost!

Pig!

Give up or I'll kill you.

Bastards,

sons of b*tches!

Are you hurt?

Wipe away your tears...

You're nothing but trouble...

My problems have only begun...

Let me see...

I've been to the market...

and I've drunk a great deal,

I'm high, I'm happy,

I've had a great meal.

You make a horrible wife,

get out... and your kids too...

here's your stuff...

all of you, get out!

You're throwing me out?

Yes, I don't want to see you...

I've warned you before...

I'll go, but one day

you'll beg for me to come back!

Get out of my sight!

Forgive them...

No, I refuse...

That b*tch has poisoned the

children with her filthy ways...

I want them to go!

All of this is your fault.

Leave him alone.

Does this concern you?

Are you in pain?

No!

Tell me the truth,

Sana is worried about you.

I'm telling you,

I'm not in pain...

Look at that...

She got exactly what she deserved.

Leave me be,

you deserve the same thing...

You're always cruel with me.

- Come here!

- Leave me alone!

Alcoholic during the day

and impotent at night...

Why are they behaving like that?

I don't know...

but it's really too bad.

It is...

What are you doing there?

We wanted to keep you company.

You could drink a little less...

I know this man...

he's a charlatan...

I found him once

with Noaga's wife.

Wait here!

- What are you going to do?

- Don't worry about it.

Give to a blind man...

Give me my money...

He's not a blind man!

Catch him!

You see,

I was right.

What's wrong?

I don't know...

My head hurts and I feel dizzy...

Let's go back to the village.

Mother,

she has tetanus,

Sana told me...

Don't you worry... she has malaria

and she'll be alright soon.

...she died a long time ago...
