A poem, sir.
:11:02
Which one?
:11:03
Antonio Machado's
''Childhood Memory''.
:11:06
Very good. Go ahead.
:11:08
Remember,
:11:09
slowly and clearly.
And watch the punctuation.
:11:16
''A cold and grey winter afternoon.
:11:18
The pupils are studying.
:11:21
Monotony of rain
behind the windows.
:11:25
The classroom. A picture.
:11:27
shows Cain, fugitive,
:11:30
and Abel dead,
:11:31
next to a crimson stain.''
:11:34
What does...
:11:35
''monotony of rain'' mean,
Romualdo?
:11:37
When it rains, it pours,
Don Gregorio. - Good.
:11:40
Now, a dictation...
:11:45
Hello.
:11:47
Come in, come in.
:11:48
How are you?
:11:49
l'm fine. But the boy isn't.
:11:53
l don't understand.
:11:55
Yesterday l gave him
a math problem,
:11:58
and he was hopeless.
:12:00
Yes... lt's true he should
work a bit harder, but...
:12:04
Spare the rod...
:12:09
Get those numbers
into his head.
:12:12
Give them to the teacher.
:12:19
No, l can't accept them...
:12:21
You won't snub me?
:12:23
Please, Don Avelino,
l wouldn't...
:12:26
They're very good.
:12:28
Like l said: make
an effort with the boy.
:12:32
Goodbye.
:12:42
Take these capons.
:12:47
What?
:12:48
Put them in your desk
and return them to your father.
:12:52
All right.
:12:54
But he'll be angry.
:12:56
He'll slap me.
Good Lord...
