A Shine of Rainbows Page #4

We're going to school.

I'm sure it's no fun

learning new things...

when you don't have a brain

to store them.

Bye!

Quiet. Quiet!

Quiet, class, please.

You'll notice we have

a new student in class today.

This is Tomas, and he's come to Corrie

all the way from the city.

Would you like to tell us

something about it, Tomas?

I--

I--

Uh, I--

Rory McCann!

- Go on, Tomas.

- Tell about the chocolate shops, Tomas.

Chocolate's good...

but... Corrie's better.

Why is that, Tomas?

Well, Corrie's... got...

boats and seals...

and... sheep... and...

giant stones...

and...

K- K-K- King Fingal's castle.

Try and find that in a city.

And where should Tomas sit?

Here, miss. With me, miss!

Here! Here!

Here, miss. With me, miss!

Here, here, here.

Miss, please, please, please.

Here, miss.

Tomas.

This is Mrs. Kane

from the agency on the mainland.

What agency?

Not to worry.

She works for the adoption agency.

Mrs. Kane will be paying us visits

now and again.

It's just part of what she does so that--

So that we can decide whether or not

you're to live here on Corrie.

- But--

- I'll be off now.

- But when I come back,

I'd like to have a visit with you.

- But--

- To talk things over.

- But I have decided.

- I want to stay here.

- It's not that simple.

If you're to be a family,

everyone must agree...

that's the best place for you.

Don't you think?

I'll leave these here

for Mr. O'Donnell to look over.

And if he sees fit to sign them...

I can get on with my job.

Good day.

- He doesn't want to sign.

- It's not that.

- He's just been so busy.

- Is it true...

I can't stay...

if he doesn't sign?

Do not be bothering yourself with that.

- Do you not hear the chickens clucking up a storm?

- But--

They've been waiting all day

for you to feed them.

Go on now, before they starve to death.

Tomas?

Tomas?

I see they're taking a liking to you.

Maybe.

Did you talk to them?

I gave them a message for my gram.

Good.

Want to know what I told her?

That's up to you.

When I first saw you at the home...

I... pretended you were my real mum.

We could let ourselves

pretend that's what I am.

If I could call you "Mum"...

I could believe it.

Then why not call me "Mum"?

I'd like that.

- Does it hurt?

- No.

It's just my heart saying I'm happy.

I am too...

Mum.

Where are we going?

Wait till you see.

Charlie, I want you to meet Tomas.

Do you want to take him?

He's harmless. Really.

Go on.

He tickles.

- Bye.

- See you, Carey.

See you, Nancy.

Seamus--

I'd like to go back to your hideout.

- You're serious?

- Let's go!

But the bats!

They're sleeping.

And we never come down here at night
