:09:01
I could do what I liked.
:09:03
That's how, when I was nine...
:09:08
I fell down the stairs...
:09:13
from the third
to the second floor.
:09:17
I fell on my back,
and my neck...
:09:24
with such force
that a neighbour...
:09:27
thought he had heard shooting.
:09:30
He asked me if I was hurt.
:09:33
I told him I wasn't,
and I asked him...
:09:36
not to tell my mother.
:09:39
I climbed the stairs
on all fours...
:09:43
because I couldn't walk.
:09:46
It really was a terrible blow.
:09:51
I sat down and prayed:
:09:55
Please, make that my mother
won't punish me.
:09:59
From that day,
I always felt pain...
:10:04
especially in my head.
:10:11
The doctor said
it was my growing up.
:10:18
A second one agreed.
:10:20
The third understood I'd fallen.
:10:25
I always did my best at school.
:10:30
I was very attentive.
:10:32
One day the teacher told me:
:10:35
Fini, you should write
on the lines.
:10:42
I said yes, of course.
:10:47
Then I understood...
:10:51
I couldn't see the lines
any more.
:10:54
I wanted to learn
embroidering...
:10:59
but I had to leave
that very soon.
