That's why I'm sitting

here watching the night.

As simple as that, I sit here

alone and drink my coffee.

Watching for a while,

then off to sleep.

In the morning, I make my breakfast

and get ready for work.

When it bites, you pull it like that.

Let's go.

Pull it, pull it fast.

Faster, go on faster.

Here, this is how you do it.

Careful, get out of the way.

Out of the way, move it!

Pass me the bat.

A smack on the head, or what?

Come on pull it up, pull it up!

Bring it up.

Here it comes.

Careful.

Where should I put it, Daddy?

How do you say it?

- Scales

- To scale.

I don't mean that.

I mean this thing here.

Yes, that's a scale.

What's it called when you do this?

To sca...

- To scale.

- To scale.

Where are the beans?

Fat fish.

What did you say?

That I will get a big belly?

Or I heard wrong?

- It's the barracuda, right?

- Yes, it is.

The tortillas are there,

please eat.

I don't want lobster.

There is no lobster,

this is barracuda.

Eat.

I bet you don't have that in Italy.

They don't go fishing there.

They don't fish, right, son?

The fish is already bought in Italy.

Natan, if they want to take you

to Italy, you go and hide.

Eat your meal, buddy.

Jaimito.

Checked the weather forecast?

No, not yet.

Ok, let me know

as soon as you know something.

There are signs of a storm

that's coming this way.

Really?

I don't think it will get here.

Probably not until Monday or Tuesday.

It will be cold front number eleven.

It's very far away,

coming Monday or Tuesday.

Okay, man.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Okay, Nestor, we'll be in touch.

Bubulcus Ibis.

"Cattle egret" is her common name.

They come from far away.

- From Africa.

- From Africa.

I dropped it and she ate it fast.

This is ready.

A great fish broth.

It's delicious, right?

She's looking for food.

And if she flies away?

Well, she'll go home.

For God's sake.

- Is it spicy?

- Yes, the sauce is spicy.

A little fish just jumped.

It jumped out to catch something.

Look, Daddy!

Watch out for the crocodiles.

Daddy, can I get my hair wet?

If Grandpa said you can,

go ahead.

Just be careful with the crocodiles.

Here comes one.

Come here.

Be careful of that crocodile.

It's getting near. It can eat you.

There he was hanging it out

while she was like this.

I saw your hand.

C'mon, watch it.

Look at the size of it.

It's dead.

Let's go, Daddy.

- We're going.

- He's your Daddy too, huh?

Oh, yeah, yours too.

Let's go, Daddy!

I guess the joke's on me.

You can put the rope over there.

She has stayed over there.

Blanquita will sleep there.

- Is it her?

- Yes.

It's no fair like that.

Let's see the scar?

It's fine.
