Does the noise in my head
bother you?
:08:05
No.
:08:07
Still got that story about
the teacher shortage in Botswana?
:08:10
-Yeah. You gonna use it?
-No. Maybe they can use me.

In the Kalahari, it's always Tuesday,
or Thursday if you like. Or Sunday.
:08:20
No clocks or calendars tell you
to do this or that.

Lately, strange new things
sometimes appeared in the sky.
:08:28
Noisy birds that flew
without flapping their wings.
:08:44
One day, something fell from the sky.
:09:02
Xi had never seen anything
like this in his life.
:09:06
It looked like water, but it was harder
than anything else in the world.
:09:11
He wondered why the gods
had sent this thing down to the earth.
:09:19
It was the strangest and most
beautiful thing they had ever seen.
:09:23
They wondered why the gods
had sent it to them.
:09:32
Pabo got his finger stuck in the thing and
the children thought he was very funny.
:09:47
Xi tried the thing out to cure thongs.
It had the right shape and weight.
:09:54
It was also beautifully smooth
and ideal for curing snakeskin.
