Red Like the Sky Page #4

the place where the nuns throw

the stuff they don't need anymore.

- Why'd you bring me here?

- To show you my bicycle.

Come on, I'll show it to you.

Here it is!

But I can't use it.

It's broken.

My mom told me

that when I go to middle school

she'll get me a bigger one.

I was thinking, maybe the candy

is big enough for the sacrifice.

If you give her the cookie, too,

maybe...

she'll only give you one kernel.

Nothing's wrong with this.

The chain just fell off.

- Will you help me turn it over?

- Sure.

That was a neat story I heard before.

Do you have a television?

No, it's a radio.

Want to know the rest of the story?

Let me finish this.

All set, let's go for a ride.

Are you crazy?

You'll get in big trouble.

One time,

this kid wet the bed

and they made him sleep

in the same sheets for 10 days.

- Who told you that?

- My mom. It really stank!

Another time,

a kid spit in church.

They made him stand in there

and pray all night.

The nuns don't scare me.

Come on, let's go for a ride.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, what are you waiting for?

He's nuts!

What're you doing, aren't you coming?

What was that for?

- To keep us from getting caught.

- Don't be silly!

There's a hole in the fence here.

But nobody knows.

- A secret passage!

- Yeah.

This place is cool!

- There's lots of stuff, isn't there?

- Yeah.

- You know there's a cinema nearby?

- Really?

My mom never takes me.

She says it's a waste of money.

Hop on, and we'll go.

- You sure?

- Yeah!

All right, but go slow.

Come on, hop on the seat.

- Want to go to the cinema?

- Yeah, but...

All right!

But the minute something goes wrong

I'm steering.

Slow, okay? Go slow.

- Cinema, here I come!

- Slow down!

Slow down! Stairs!

It's downhill, go slow!

- How long is it?

- Really long!

Careful! Help!

Watch out for the people!

Right! No, left!

- Why do you live at the school?

- My mom's the caretaker.

She does the cleaning.

The train!

She doesn't want me to play with you.

- Why not?

- Because you're boys, and blind.

The nuns told her if they see me

playing with you kids

they'll fire her.

But you know something?

I'm not scared of the nuns.

I'm scared of the director.

That man with the dark glasses.

He looks like a bat, all in black.

He looks like a monster.

Are you nuts?

He's just a poor old blind guy.

It's really steep!

Help! Slow down!

- Are you hurt?

- No. Are you?

A little.

I'm sorry. It was all my fault.

Oh, it's no big deal.

The cinema's right here.

What's the film?

The Clan of the Two Borsalini

I've already seen it.

It's really funny!

Franco is 35 years old

and he's still in first grade.

- You know why?

- Why?

He found a hole in the wall
