Ditte Menneskebarn Page #3

---

One has long known about

your business here.

You are expected.

Go and pack your clothes, Ditte.

Its not my idea, but a mother

has a right to her child, -

- and Srine finds that she's come

to long a tad for the girl.

I know that you've argued against it

as much as you could.

Well, everything will be

as it was meant to be.

Can't one of your children

come down here to help you?

A mother can feed eight kids, -

- but have you ever heard of

eight kids feeding a mother?

So, Ditte, did you

remember everything?

Yes, I did.

Well, then let's have

a look at the vehicle.

We are not going to forget you.

You're at the first end of things,

as Sren Man said.

You have much ahead of you,

young Ditte.

You can have this.

- Goodbye, Maren.

- Goodbye, granny.

Goodbye, Ditte love.

Ditte?

Ditte?

- Ditte?

- Ditte?

Ditte? Ditte?

Get up, will you.

I'm up, mother.

Get the young ones up and dressed.

Dad will be here soon.

- Are we riding with Big Klavs?

- Yes.

I want Big Klavs.

Kristian, come here!

Else, don't run outside naked.

Kristian and Else!

Get over here.

- Kristian, wait for me.

- You need to wear your shirt.

Povl, let Ditte help.

Quiet, children.

Ditte, get them to calm down.

Its dad!

Is the coffee done?

Good morning. I have a special

greeting to you from granny.

She thanks you for all the coffee

and sugar that we...

- Is granny still bedridden?

- She always is, they say.

Blame yourself for that back.

You carry that big kid around.

Granny always said that...

You talk a lot about your granny.

Any news from dad about my mum?

I guess she can't

keep it up much longer.

Don't make a fuss.

Old people can't live forever.

When granny dies,

we get a new house.

No, because granny says

that that money...

What money?

Stupid girl.

I know you mean the money

that was paid for you.

What's it to be spent on?

Granny hid it.

Oh?

Oh?

And where did she hide it?

In the duvet, of course!

- No.

- What a lovely smell of coffee.

- I have food for you.

- I have something for you.

And the kids.

- Come, dad.

- Let's see what you've got.

The porridge, Ditte!

That's fine, little wagtail.

Shouldn't Povl sit

in his seat and eat?

Aren't you going to show us?

I almost forgot.

I think this is

something for the neck.

Shouldn't we rather save the money

instead of buying worthless junk?

Take a good look at it.

Here's something for the nestlings.

Not until after breakfast.

Didn't you hear, Kristian?

I was just looking.

Can I go now?

- Have you fed the chickens?

- Yes.

- But the cow...

- I'll do it.

Let her go,

or she'll be late for school.

Bring the sack,

so you can pick nettles for the pig.
