A Tale of Love and Darkness Page #4

my weakness for words.

What could I do? All

the boys were courting her!

I had to make myself

stand out.

That's what happened.

Remembering is like trying

to restore an old building

with the stones

from its ruins.

And the stones have memory.

May I please have some apc?

I have a headache

that won't go away.

I don't believe them.

I don't believe anyone anymore.

It's a big conspiracy.

What do you think?

That our boys will

fight for you,

that they risk their

young lives for you,

when you say

it's all a conspiracy?

Yes, because it is

all one big conspiracy!

It's like theater!

Ben-gurion secretly

agreed to sell Jerusalem

to king Abdullah

so that he can keep

his kibbutzim.

They don't care if they

slaughter and burn us all.

What's wrong with you?

How can you say that?

A million kids...

If there is a war--

when there is a war--

we will win.

Our state is standing

right at the gate.

It's not standing.

There is no gate.

There is an abyss.

Not in front of the child.

Mm.

Nothing grew!

Come here.

You know...

That if you open up

someone's head and

take out his brain...

You see that our brains are

nothing but cauliflower--

a cauliflower this size.

What a miracle it is that

this small cauliflower

can hold the sky

and the land,

the sun and

all the stars.

It can hold Plato's ideas,

and Beethoven's music,

and Chekhov's plays,

all the dinosaurs

and the whales...

And the hopes

and the passions and

mistakes and fantasies...

And that's it.

Amos!

Come play with us!

I can't. My grandma

is coming today.

Kids! What are you doing?

You've abandoned me.

I have no life here.

You spit on me,

your own mother--

the only person

who will take care of you!

Just look at you.

How can you stand it?

This place is disgusting!

Oh. I'm not good enough

for you to answer?

I should have

left you in rovno!

I would have been

better off!

Fanitchka!

Fania!

Amos, where's your mother?

Fania?

You won't believe it!

My book is sold out!

All five of them!

He said he'd order more.

He already did, by phone.

Five more! He says this

is just the beginning!

Let's go to the Edison

and see a film.

Zarchi will

watch you, okay?

For us.

You can find hell

and paradise in every room.

A little meanness,

and people are

hell to each other.

A little compassion,

a little generosity,

and people find

paradise in each other.

Congratulations again.

I still can't believe it.

Give my love to garbo.

Amos, behave yourself.

Want a book?

Tchernichowsky.

It seems that your Patience

has helped our plants.

Why don't you go

see for yourself?

When my family moved to

the house on dubinska street,

we inherited some tenants
