"The king is in the altogether,
but altogether, the altogether

:08:05
"He's altogether as naked
as the day that he was born

:08:07
"And it's altogether too chilly a morn!"
:08:15
- Hans!
- Hurry, Peter.

:08:19
We're going to hear another story.
:08:21
Hans, the schoolmaster
went to the Burgomaster and the...

:08:25
Peter, don't worry so much
on a beautiful day like this.

:08:28
They're coming here - the schoolmaster,
the Burgomaster, the council. Look!

:08:42
Good morning, Burgomaster.
:08:44
Look, Burgomaster.
The books - on the dirty ground!

:08:49
Here. The History of Denmark
used to tie the string of a dirty kite!

:08:54
The history of any country
can always stand a little fresh air.

:08:57

:09:29
- Tend to your shoes. I'll tend to my school!
- To be sure.

:09:33
But is the world made up of nothing else

:09:40
There's a story
of a piece of chalk and a blackboard.

:09:44
The piece of chalk had written
so many things on the blackboard

:09:48
that it believed
it knew all about everything.

:09:51
The blackboard was angry.
:09:53

nobody would know anything,

:09:57
and she was the one
who really knew it all.
