There is silly. Trying to fill
a bathtub full of holes, indeed.
1:07:09
A sum it is, girl. A sum.
A problem for the mind.
1:07:13
- For his examination into school.
- That old national school.
1:07:16
'Tis silly they are with their sums. Who
would pour water in a bathtub full of holes?
1:07:21
- Who would think of it? Only a madman.
- It is to see if the boy can calculate.
1:07:25
Figures, nothing else.
How many gallons, and how long.
1:07:29
In a bathtub full of holes.
1:07:34
Now I know why I have such a tribe of sons.
1:07:37
It is you, Beth Morgan, is the cause.
1:07:40
Look you, Mr Gruffydd.
Have you something else?
1:07:43
The decimal point.
1:07:47
The decimal...
1:07:50
The decimal point, then,
and peace to my house.
1:07:53
- Go and scratch.
- Well, it's getting late.
1:07:56
I've got to get along. We'll follow
the decimal point tomorrow night.
1:08:00
- Good night.
- Good night, Mrs Morgan.
1:08:06
Who is there that cannot look back
and remember his first day at a new school?
1:08:11
To go alone the long walk
over the hills to the next valley,
1:08:15
the first of my family to have
the privilege of attending a national school.
1:08:57
So you're the new boy?
