Who knows, maybe he was abscent-minded

or concerned about something.

Poor soul- he deceived himself believing that

he could make it just by working!

But we were short of money all the time.

Maybe he was just concerned about money

when he was hit by the train...

Heavens, we were really poor...

worse than when we left our village for the city!

Come on, stand up.

But from now on we'll be in straits no more!

If things continue like this soon we can buy

a sumptuous flat in an affluent neighborhood!

but we need to gather more rich clients before that.

We already got some fat ones, but we need more of them.

All the rest are penniless rabble.

Get out now.

Mmm, you smell good now!

Come on, dry off or you'll catch a cold.

I'm going for your clean clothes.

Do you know if donkey teeth have power?

I'm clueless! In fact I know very little of the Arts.

My mother, on the other hand- your grandma,

she was a truly great witch!

She knew how to pay back people

with some eerie tricks, when she wished to.

Sure she knew how to make donkeys fly!

Or maybe those things happened just because of

our hot southern sun, country herbs, plants...

...some animals too, but who knows?

or maybe even because of whole genuine foods,

cheese, bread, milk... pure oil!

Damn, what time is it?

Get dressed, quick! It's our guests!

No, don't leave me alone!

Oh John, come back! John, come to me!

...back, come back!

You won't see him.

but He will come and touch you with his hands.

He will purify your waste...

...wipe away your fear and sorrow.

You won't be able to see him...

but you'll feel him in your body,

as I did when I conceived and generated him.

He's truly the blood of my blood,

...offered by me to heal all of your woes.

My son!

I can walk.

I feel tired, and the road...

...the road is way too long.

they're over...

I'm exhausted, exhausted.

I've no more strength left...

...I just can't stand this any longer.

What's going on?

I woke up. Can't sleep.

I'm frightened.

Come here. Here with me.

I was afraid as well, a moment ago...

because of you!

Why were you so mean to our guests today?

Because they're insincere. They disguise themselves.

...and one of them was an informer, for sure.

Don't talk such nonsense! You'll just scare clients away!

They will come back, trust me...

Move close to me, let's sleep. Let's sleep.

Good afternoon, please come in.

I've already been there once...

I remember that. Make yourself at home.

I'll take care of this.

Please come, come.

Won't you have a seat? Are you afraid?

Surely not, of course.

I'm simply a bit concerned...

You know, I'm seeking some resolution...

Not about me, to be honest...
