And my mother only told me to pray!
:27:05
When my father died,
I stayed with my mother,

:27:08
and a preceptor taught me
the catechism.

:27:11
He used to spank me with a wand.
:27:13
My butt was as red
as a watermelon!

:27:17
I found some comfort in reading.
I had books everywhere.

:27:21
Here too.
Look, there are many books.

:27:23
In summer
I used to meet other children here.

:27:27
We all read a lot. Some read
the classics, others read books of adventure.

:27:32
Then at night we dreamt.
:27:33
Everything is still the same,
Don Quixote, Voltaire.

:27:37
- Have you read Voltaire?
- Yes, I have. Why?

:27:42
...I get easily bored
:27:45
and so I annoy the others.
:27:47
I've always liked to make jokes,
and I still do.

:27:50
When I go to sleep I am tired
but I start again the morning after.

:27:53
I only make jokes now,
what else could I do, in Rome?

:27:58
There are churches, domes, roofs,
cats, beggars...

:28:03
...and witches.
> SOMEONE IS CHANTING

:28:07
Come and see.
:28:10
Looks at that one.
Ugly and evil!

:28:15
Ugly witch, filthy and infamous!
Looks, she is casting the evil eye.

:28:19
- Ugly and bald old woman!
- She's a child! - She isn't!

:28:24
If you don't give me some money,
I'll make your testicles dry.

:28:28
Wait, I'll throw you the money.
:28:30
- Wait and you'll see!
- Let her go ahead.

:28:33
I want to see the devil
coming out of the fireplace!

:28:37
I'll show you the devil.
:28:39
- What are you doing?
- You'll see her jump.

:28:50
I'll burn her hands. Come and see.
:28:56
Here she is!
:28:57
- Ugly and filthy old woman, here.
- No, poor girl! - I want to burn her.
