But the kid was absent-minded.

Please forgive him.

OK, but we need to talk, Ok?

What's your name?

Elena.

Let me do, brother Tenancies, he is my pupil.

A good pupil.

"Go, swords, be successful..."

"In Spain the dawn starts."

- Spain! - One!

- Spain! - Great!

- Spain! - Free!

- Long Live Franco! - Long Live!

- Avnet Spain! - Avnet!

It was the kid's mistake.

It won't happen again.

Do not worry, it's nothing serious.

His age, poor thing, he had no malice.

None. None. Believe me, brother...

Salvador.

It is my given name. It's not related

with my having saved you...

... from the patriotic claws

of brother Venancio.

What is the name?

Lorenzo.

Not, woman, yours.

Ah!

Elena. How silly!

Come on! Go to the classroom.

Elena, we should talk about Lorenzo.

I promise he will learn

"Face to the sun" thoroughly.

I know he does not have

problems to learn what he needs.

He is intelligent.

He is endowed for studying.

But there is something...

... strange.

Strange?

Yes. I do not know...

... absences, perhaps.

I catch him some times absent minded.

As in, sometimes yes

and sometimes not.

Am I clear, Elena?

Well, I do not know, maybe it's...

shyness.

He is still a boy, and you know,

in this age...

And now that brother Venancio priest

cannot hear us,

Patriotic spirit, ha has none.

Is there any reason?

What reason could it be?

I do not believe that a boy in this age can...

Excuse me, you're right.

And in the studies, he's an example.

Just check the results.

I know you help him

with his homework.

Without a father, of course...

I will try to help you.

It's no effort for me

to give him a little attention.

Lorenzo and you deserve it.

And, from time to time,

I'll let you know, Elena,

so you know what's going on.

I do not know, we can have a snack,

or take a walk.

I can go to your place,

if it's more convenient for you.

I do not know, I am not used

to this type of situations and...

at home, not, for sure.

What is more convenient for you, of course.

Whatever you prefer.

Of course.

Now please forgive me. I have duties.

Yes.

The classroom is waiting for me.

ORIGINAL SIN.

God had allowed them to eat all the fruits...

but one.

And this one, exactly this one...

was the one they ate.

The woman, Eve, came...

and offered it to the man, Adam.

and Adam bit the fruit.

Look, it's here. Adam's apple.

Can you see?

And at this very moment...

God sent its archangelic infantry..

and banished our first parents from Paradise.

It banished them, and everybody else,

for ever.

It was the end of life without working

and giving birth without pain.

There came wars and death.

Sin went into our blood.

Do you want to come up to my house?
