Have you gone to school?
He makes mistakes
He reads better than you
Where are you parents?
He ran away from home
Oh, no!
Where are you from?
I hope you are taking good care of the fig tree
Take good care of the oven
Take care of the rice paddles
Maybe I'll come back before the harvest
As to what I do
you better don't know it
Send your letters by the same person
Give my regards to all the neighbours and relatives
I send you and the children my regards
I hope to see you soon
As for that newly arrived boy whose name is Bashu
he is welcome
The way you wrote, he sounds like a young man
I am glad that you are not alone
You have so much to do
He can help you if I am not here
Give him my best regards
Why don't you talk, Bashu?
So that we may understand
Where are you palm trees?
Where are your ships?
Where are the ships with masts taller than the palms?
Your sun is playful
Have you seen anybody playing the flute?
Ever heard of its melody?
Why don't you ever talk about army?
Oh, the brat!
Brat! Brat! Brat!
Follow me
Don't go away by yourself
Eggs here, big eggs, good eggs for you
I want your eggs
Seven fifty, thanks
How much is this?
Five for each
That's too expensive
No, it's a steal already
How much is this?
25 dollars
Too expensive!
But it's a good chicken
How about 1 5 dollars?
23 dollars
Let's go in between, 20 dollars
Fine, deal
Take it
Thanks
He pays less!
Hey, come back!
How much did you pay?
That's twenty
Twenty dollars for the chicken only
You took more than a chicken
You just paid 20 dollars, look
So mean, I bought a whole chicken from you
Thank Heaven! Now you're free
Why are you so sad?
Be happy and laugh
How much is it?
20 dollars
It's good
You can't find better than this
How much do you sell this?
20 dollars
So expensive!
Nowhere else sells so expensive
What?
You're the most expensive here
Impossible! Go to the cheaper one if you can find one
Bye
I'd like to take a look at this one
How much?
50 dollars
Make it forty
No, fifty is fifty
40! 40 and you still earn
No, no bargaining
Let's make it 45, it's fair
Bashu?
Are you tired?
A little bit
You saw where Bashu's gone?
No, I don't know
Bashu?
Where's Bashu?
Bashu?
I'm worried
God knows what happened to him
What'll he eat?
Where'll he sleep?
He's not as tough as you
It's all a matter of habit
He should've gotten used to it
He was from the city
He couldn't take us farm people
That's your fault
You should've gone to look for him
He's got nobody
Something might've happened to him
You shouldn't have let him go
He's sitting right next to us
If I got my hands on him, I wouldn't let go
You son of bitch, just babbling
He was a real brat
He knows arithmatics
One mouth less to feed
I'm not sorry for him, but for myself
They'll put the blame on me...
for not being able to take car of a kid
Well, bygones are bygones
That's it, it's finished now
Listen
What is it?
Bashu!
Look! He's so funny!
Bashu!
Quiet, let the trees grow
What's he saying?
Neii, what do you think?
You scared our kids
You are standing by outsiders
If you want to fight
fight one at a time
How many persons against one?
Next time I see him
I know what to do with him
Now I know why you don't like him
He knows arithmatics
But you can't tot up your account with your abacus
You buy on credit and yet you nag?
You always overcharge me
Who said so? He?
Look, they are friends again
Shake hands
Honey
I've heard from people in the village...
that you picked a charcoal from nowhere
And you are going to raise him, right?
What the hell are you doing?
How can you do such a shame on me?
You are the wife and mother of the family
Aren't you worried of gossips?
We've one more mouth to feed
You think I earn easy money?
Why are you sleeping here?
Don't you have a place?
Come on, go sleep in your bed
What do you want, Bashu?
Mom is sick, I want medicine
I want to see the doctor
Doctor has gone to town
He won't be back until tomorrow night
Naii is sick, mom is sick
What can I do?
To write this letter
I didn't go to our neighbour
This letter is written by my son Bashu
He helps me with the chores
He eats less than he works
I feed him from my own share
Just like other kids
He's the son of the sun and the earth
By and by
from every six words he speaks
I understand three
God bless us
Can I have some water?
Why are you staring at me like this?
I thought you were another man
Who was playing the flute?
Tress branches grow better with music
You also have a scarecrow
I made it
Something wrong?
Its hands
Where I was, they played the flute too
What's the matter with its hands?
It's a good sound, good thinking
Bashu, where's Naii?
She's gone to enroll me at school
Did you see her?
I've got news for her
Bashu, Naii's husband is back
Who?
Not just a letter, but he himself
How can you keep the child?
We have two kids already
Why not?
Don't you feel ashamed?
It has nothing to do with that I did nothing wrong
How can I leave him alone outside?
You didn't bring back any money
You have lost your hand on top of everything
Was there no other job?
I could only find work there
What am I to say to the kids about the harvest?
Who's this man?
Your father
Where have you gone?
Looking for you
Shake hands
