WeII if that's best, Iet it be!
1:52:11
When I'm gone,
you must see to the harvest

1:52:13
we aImost did it aIready,
1:52:15
the cIerk wiII teII you how much
1:52:17
I wiII see to it
1:52:22
If you must go,
there's a thing to be done

1:52:28
Speak to your father
1:52:29
No no I can't!
1:52:30
You're his youngest son
1:52:46
Father father!
1:52:50
I am going away
1:52:53
I..I onIy want to teII you that I...
1:52:56
how I...if you couId forgive me
1:53:00
But go!
1:53:03
Nephew! We're ruined! Everything's gone!
1:53:07
And I predicted it! I predicted it!
1:53:11
What's happened?
1:53:12
I knew it, I ran miIes to teII you
1:53:15
What is it?
1:53:15
I forgive everybody
1:53:17
What is it?
This!

1:53:21
Locusts!
1:53:23
The flying pIague!
1:53:28
WeII! Let them come!
1:53:31
But the Iion, the harvest!
1:53:32
What can we do against the gods?
1:53:34
It's not the gods!
1:53:35
It's a thing of nature! We can fight it!
1:53:37
Have you ever seen a pIague of Iocusts?
1:53:39
No but...
1:53:40
I have! They came in miIIions
1:53:42
The air is bIack with them and stinky
1:53:45
And where they come down
there's nothing Ieft!

1:53:48
Not a green of wheat!
Not a bIade of grass!

1:53:51
Not a Ieave nor flower! Nothing!
1:53:53
And can you fight that with your book?
1:53:56
Forgive me!
I mean no disrespect for my eIders,

1:53:58
but I speak for what I heard at schooI!
