:10:00
One day, quite by accident,
:10:02
the schoolmaster broke the piece of chalk
and tossed it out of the window.

:10:06
It fell beside a pencil that the piece
of chalk had always admired.

:10:11
A pencil to a piece of chalk
is something very special.

:10:15
- And what do you suppose happened?
- What happened?

:10:19
What is this? Have we all lost our senses?
:10:22
Are you going listen to him
with the children? What is this?

:10:25
That will be enough, Hans.
:10:28
Children, pick up your schoolbooks
and go back to school. Hurry now.

:10:32
Follow the schoolmaster.
Not another word from anyone.

:10:44
I advise you, Hans, to stay in your shop
from now on. Come, gentlemen.

:10:56
Stop shaking your head at me
like an old woman, Peter.

:10:59
- I can feel it in the back of my neck.
- Hans, turn around. I've got to talk to you.

:11:05
Did you ever hear
the story of the old woman

:11:08
who shook her head at the family
so much that it fell off, right on the table?

:11:12
Hans, why do you keep
on making trouble for us?

:11:15
Trouble? There's no trouble
that a good story can't get us out of -

:11:20
like the one just now about the piece
of chalk and the blackboard.

:11:25
I didn't know what I was going to say
until after I'd said it.

:11:28
In fact, I'd like to know
how the story ends myself.

:11:31
Please stay in the shop. Don't tell
the children stories all the time.

:11:36
I never saw such a worrier like you, Peter.
:11:38
You want to really worry
about something? Here's something.

:11:42
Two years ago, I took you
out of the orphanage

:11:45
and promised them I'd make you
into a good cobbler. Two whole years.

:11:50
Look at that shoe - glue all smeared
and nails in crooked.

:11:56
Two years an apprentice,
and still the nails go in crooked.
