{5892}{5954}<i>The children in|this village attend ...</i>
{5959}{6026}<i>... a local school|for the first four years</i>

{6695}{6819}<i>The village blacksmith|is hard at work</i>
{6824}{6949}<i>He's known by all|as a stubborn old fellow,</i>
{6954}{7077}<i>Early to bed, early to rise|and never known sickness at all,</i>
{7082}{7206}<i>He's proud of his arm|that is stronger than iron,</i>

{7464}{7584}<i>Hoe and harrow,|plough and axe,</i>
{7589}{7622}<i>He forges tools of peace ...</i>
{7627}{7681}Teacher!
{7702}{7753}Teacher!
{8331}{8389}Are you leaving?
{8454}{8547}I'm leaving you and|the island today
{8557}{8619}I've said goodbye
{8666}{8809}After I'm gone,|I want you all to study hard
{8814}{8889}What's our new teacher like?
{8894}{8925}She's very nice
{8930}{8958}Are you sure?
{8968}{9022}Sure, yes.|She's a fine teacher
{9027}{9062}But she's just a beginner
{9067}{9149}So was everybody once
{9166}{9253}Don't you make her cry|like you did me
{9268}{9391}You'd better not ...|She's my daughter's teacher
{9397}{9445}- What's her name?|- Miss Oishi
{9450}{9508}That means she's big
{9513}{9666}But she isn't.|She's as tall as my shoulder
{9673}{9726}But her name "Oishi"|does mean Big Stone
{9732}{9805}Then she's only a pebble!
{9819}{9885}Miss Oishi won't cry like I did
{9890}{9941}I told her ...

{9947}{10110}"If the children tease you,|just think they're monkeys

{10122}{10217}"And if they're mean,|just call them noisy birds"
{10258}{10333}All right, monkeys and birds ...|Get moving
{10346}{10397}Ding-a-ling!
{10402}{10522}Ding-a-ling man!
{10567}{10644}Goodbye.|Take care!
{10826}{10905}Have a nice wedding !
{11328}{11371}Good morning
{11446}{11540}- She's riding a bike!|- She's really modern
{11682}{11752}Foreign clothes!|And a new bicycle, too!
{11830}{11875}Good morning
{11892}{11931}There's a woman|on a bicycle!
{11936}{11972}Must be the new teacher
{11977}{12058}In a suit ...|she's acting like a man
{12117}{12165}Good morning
{12242}{12378}Come quickly!|The world's changing. Look!
{12655}{12701}It must be the new teacher
{12706}{12869}Riding a bicycle and wearing a suit.|What's the world coming to!
{12882}{12976}It's pretty!
{13067}{13157}Haven't you seen|a bicycle before?
{13168}{13221}Want a ride?
{13723}{13829}My house is near that smokestack
{13843}{13957}It takes fifty minutes to|get there by bicycle
{13971}{14080}Yes, it's a fine day.|Not too hot or cold
{14086}{14146}Lovely for early April
{14169}{14238}I'll just go take a look
{14723}{14770}I have a problem
{14776}{14826}What's wrong?
{14844}{14957}It's the new teacher
{14965}{15058}She's a graduate|of a normal school
{15063}{15099}Do you think she's clever?
{15104}{15160}I think so
{15165}{15245}You didn't expect her|to ride a bike?
{15254}{15354}Why have they sent|such a teacher here?
{15360}{15423}What must the principal|be thinking?
{15492}{15585}It's time for school
{15591}{15641}Don't get discouraged
{15686}{15743}Better wear shoes today

{19580}{19677}Answer me when I call|your name - Morioka Tadashi
{19718}{19788}So you're called Tanko, yes
{19831}{19878}Aizawa Nita
{19912}{20065}You're a talkative boy.|What's your nickname?
{20072}{20107}Nikuta
{20119}{20202}Nikuta?|Does that mean you're a bully?
{20208}{20257}It's not nice|to be called that
{20315}{20366}Kawamoto Matsue
{20449}{20530}- What do they call you?|- Mats-chan
{20615}{20661}Nishiguchi Misako
{20728}{20770}And are you called Misa-chan?
{20775}{20826}I'm Mi-san
{20859}{20944}Mi-san? That's cute
{20961}{21002}Kagawa Masuno
{21056}{21105}Don't say "yeah",|it sounds funny
{21110}{21159}Say "here" when I|call your name
{21221}{21261}She's Mach-chan!

{22151}{22254}Now you mustn't say|things like that
{23560}{23611}Goodbye
{23618}{23738}Big Stone!|Pebble!
{23958}{24017}Goodbye
{24026}{24149}Big Stone!|Pebble!
{24434}{24493}She wrote down|all the nicknames
{24498}{24566}She said Mi-san|was a cute name
{24571}{24674}She's playing|favourites already
{24679}{24723}What about Fujiko?
{24729}{24837}She asked if her family|used to be village leaders
{24852}{24945}Village leaders!|They're bankrupt
{25127}{25214}Class, where is the Emperor?
{25234}{25269}Nikuta
{25275}{25350}The Emperor is|in the cupboard
{25525}{25596}In the cupboard?
{25606}{25695}Isn't he hiding in there?
{25769}{25888}That's not the Emperor.|It's only his picture
{25894}{26018}We don't have a proper|place for his picture ...
{26026}{26161}... so we cleaned up the cupboard|to keep it there
{26168}{26264}It doesn't mean the Emperor|himself is in there
{26329}{26461}<i>The train chuffs along|puffing white smoke,</i>
{26467}{26597}<i>Choo, choo, choo, choo,|choo, choo, choo,</i>
{26602}{26736}<i>Through the tunnel,|across the railway bridge,</i>
{26742}{26805}<i>The train chuffs along ...</i>
{26810}{26873}<i>Choo, choo, choo, choo,|choo, choo, choo,</i>

{26878}{27013}<i>The train chuffs along|puffing white smoke,</i>

{27018}{27149}<i>Choo, choo, choo, choo,|choo, choo, choo,</i>
{27154}{27288}<i>Through the tunnel,|across the railway bridge ...</i>
{27316}{27476}<i>Mother Crow,|why do you sing so sadly?</i>
{27483}{27595}<i>Because she left|a beautiful child of seven ...</i>
{27601}{27708}<i>... in the mountain,</i>
{27718}{27878}<i>"I miss him, I miss him"|sings the crow...</i>
{27886}{27980}<i>It's opened, it's opened</i>
{27986}{28075}<i>What flower has opened?</i>
{28081}{28169}<i>The lotus flower has opened,</i>
{28175}{28259}<i>And the minute it opened ...</i>
{28265}{28374}<i>... it closed before I realised it</i>
{28381}{28474}<i>It's closed, it's closed</i>
{28480}{28567}<i>What flower has closed?</i>
{28573}{28662}<i>The lotus flower has closed,</i>
{28668}{28849}<i>And the minute it closed,|it opened before I realised it</i>
{29285}{29368}I hope this rain will stop
{29385}{29466}Your school is so|far away from here
{29499}{29551}I talked to the|other teacher today ...
{29556}{29660}... I asked him why people|aren't more friendly
{29666}{29789}He said it's my suit|and my bike - They're too flashy
{29803}{29907}I don't know what|to do about it
{29918}{30019}Don't worry about it
{30044}{30118}People will talk regardless
{30123}{30183}I can't wear a kimono
{30188}{30235}It's nine miles both ways
{30241}{30319}You're not showing off
{30325}{30414}It's too far to walk
{30419}{30524}It's hard enough making|payments on the bike
{30530}{30606}You still owe a lot
{30614}{30716}My colleague's saving|all the money he can
{30722}{30859}He must think I'm just a|silly spendthrift
{30870}{30933}The villagers think so too
{30947}{31045}People say the other|teacher is a miser
{31050}{31121}That's why he came here
{31129}{31235}I made my suit myself|out of an old kimono
{31253}{31348}Yet he still thinks|I'm too "modern"
{31387}{31432}It can't be helped
{31438}{31510}They'll understand some day
{31522}{31591}They say it's hard|to be a teacher here
{31596}{31707}A test for young|women teachers
{31717}{31824}And they send|older men here ...
{31830}{31915}... who have failed|to become headteachers
{31936}{32033}You're only here|for a year
{32046}{32157}Time flies, it'll soon|be summer vacation
{32179}{32246}So don't worry
{32254}{32328}Be patient and cheer up

{33808}{33923}<i>My pupils and I were|both new to school</i>
{33929}{34077}<i>The experience made us all|a little uneasy</i>
{34083}{34220}<i>There were twenty-four|beautiful eyes looking at me</i>
{34225}{34341}<i>I'll never forget them</i>
{34399}{34472}My pupils are only in|their first year ...
{34478}{34593}... yet they have no time|to play after school
{34600}{34659}They have to take care|of younger children

{34665}{34757}Or help with fishing|and housework

{34766}{34829}It's a poor village
{34847}{34945}I shouldn't let|the rain get me down
{34950}{35041}Oh, my ...|You're talking so big now
{35047}{35106}I don't care|what they say
{35112}{35155}That's it
{35217}{35297}That's all for today
{35326}{35450}That banker's wife wants me|to hurry with the kimono
{35470}{35583}But it won't make her daughter|any prettier
{35588}{35690}She's too fat and too plain
{36067}{36126}Mother, it's stopped raining
{36131}{36193}Good
{36228}{36275}The stars have come out
{36410}{36495}SEPTEMBER 1
{37628}{37704}Is it always like this?
{37719}{37775}You pick up the stones?
{37780}{37809}Teacher!
{37814}{37867}How's Nita?
{37872}{37985}The walls of his house|fell in
{37991}{38036}We could see inside
{38041}{38112}Nita was sitting|in the closet
{38120}{38163}In the closet?
{38168}{38250}He was pretending|to be the Emperor
{38325}{38368}Hey, teacher!
{38372}{38420}What's so funny?
{38425}{38474}Other people's troubles?
{38479}{38564}You don't care,|laughing at others
{38569}{38608}I'm sorry ...
{38613}{38662}My husband fell|off a roof
{38667}{38712}Is that funny?
{38717}{38761}You couldn't care less
{38766}{38851}So why were you|laughing then?
{38856}{38909}You can leave|the road alone!
{38942}{39024}Making children clear|the road for your bicycle!
{39029}{39090}I gave her a piece|of my mind!
{39226}{39275}Let's stop now
{39280}{39333}I was wrong,|I didn't mean it
{39338}{39393}Let's go to the seashore
{39971}{40090}<i>Little crab whisks up ...</i>
{40096}{40214}<i>... some shaving foam,</i>
{40218}{40328}<i>Old man crab clicks|his nippers proudly,</i>
{40333}{40401}<i>Snip, snip, snippety...</i>
{40406}{40523}<i>In comes Rabbit ...</i>
{40528}{40642}<i>... here's a customer,</i>
{40648}{40752}<i>"A haircut, please,|and make it quick, "</i>
{40757}{40821}<i>Snip, snip, snippety...</i>
{40826}{40869}<i>Rabbit's in a hurry...</i>
{40874}{40920}Teacher!
{40938}{41024}We found a rare seashell!
{41029}{41100}- What kind?|- Come and look
{41141}{41210}Where did you find it?
{41678}{41722}I'm all right
{41752}{41794}Go get help
{41800}{41867}I can't walk
{42036}{42125}Miss Pebble is hurt!
{42138}{42227}Miss Pebble is hurt!
{42258}{42371}Somebody come with us!
{42402}{42525}Miss Pebble is hurt!
{43203}{43242}It's not broken
{43247}{43320}But she must go|to a doctor

{43328}{43411}Carry her to Naka-machi

{43417}{43466}It's quicker by boat
{43471}{43539}Not in this weather
{43898}{44024}<i>Doh doh doh rei mi mi mi|so so so lah so,</i>
{44030}{44089}<i>Mi mi mi mi rei rei rei,</i>
{44094}{44162}<i>Doh doh rei mi doh</i>
{44183}{44224}That sounds terrible
{44229}{44363}Is it my fault?|I only went to grammar school
{44368}{44443}Is Miss Oishi giving|you a hard time?
{44448}{44507}No, it's worse for her
{44513}{44668}Your organ playing isn't|as painful as her leg must be
{44674}{44755}I hear a tendon was torn
{44761}{44867}She may not come|back to school
{44873}{44958}Her mother was angry|when I visited
{44964}{45044}She doesn't want her|daughter to teach here
{45049}{45085}I don't blame her
{45090}{45213}Should we find|a replacement?
{45218}{45300}I'm also tired of teaching|sewing for nothing
{45306}{45400}That's why we can't|save any money
{45407}{45522}I'd better get back|to practicing
{45528}{45570}Go on then
{45582}{45668}Oishi teaches them folk songs,|not school music
{45673}{45753}It's like a party
{45758}{45879}They'll respect you more if|you play the organ well
{45891}{45964}<i>Doh doh doh rei|mi mi mi</i>
{45969}{46069}<i>Doh doh doh rei mi mi mi|so so so lah so,</i>
{46074}{46110}Mi mi mi mi rei rei rei,
{46126}{46165}<i>Doh doh rei mi doh</i>
{46171}{46241}Let's sing it together
{46639}{46697}Why don't you sing?
{46706}{46749}You're hard to teach
{46754}{46796}You can't learn
{46801}{46871}Everybody stand
{46876}{46908}Stand!
{47256}{47384}Sing whatever you want.|I'll listen
{47397}{47465}Ready.|One, two, three ...
{47470}{47517}Teacher, what should|we sing?
{47522}{47557}Anything
{47593}{47693}"Song of the Plover" -|I know that one
{47830}{48066}<i>On nights when the plover sings,</i>
{48072}{48186}<i>On nights when the plover sings,</i>
{48192}{48307}<i>Even with the window closed,</i>
{48312}{48420}<i>It's still so cold</i>
{48426}{48545}<i>It's still so cold</i>
{49108}{49167}I don't like|that music class
{49172}{49234}Miss Pebble's songs|are better
{49239}{49303}When's she coming back?
{49308}{49353}I'd like to see her
{49358}{49406}At the hospital?
{49410}{49503}She's already out|of the hospital
{49508}{49616}She'll be coming back|to school soon
{49621}{49699}She can't even|stand up yet
{49720}{49801}Let's go visit her
{49849}{49924}Come on, then.|Let's go!
{50743}{50853}Teacher's house is near|that smokestack
{50858}{50968}How long does it take?
{50973}{51022}It's not far
{51027}{51153}I went by bus and I didn't|even have time to eat
{51159}{51222}Not even one dumpling
{51227}{51303}Liar! You can eat a dumpling|in one minute

{51308}{51415}Even a fast bus can't|get there in a minute!

{51420}{51582}But I was still eating|when I got off the bus
{51588}{51636}- Swear?|- I swear
{51642}{51724}- Swear then|- I swear it's true
{51731}{51777}I'd like to go|to her house

{51836}{51886}Let's run all the way!
{51891}{51941}We'll go after we eat
{51946}{52029}Don't tell your folks
{52034}{52079}Sneak out
{52085}{52148}We'll meet behind the bushes.|All right!
{52153}{52193}Let's go!
{52406}{52476}Kotoe, aren't you going to eat?
{52481}{52560}My grandma won't|let me out
{52565}{52597}I can't go home
{52602}{52720}I'll bring something to eat.|Wait for us
{53589}{53634}Miss Pebble will|be surprised
{53639}{53693}Does her leg hurt?
{53698}{53805}This is where|she got hurt
{53820}{53888}Big kids are coming!
{53899}{53948}Hide!
{54174}{54223}Keep quiet!
{54366}{54418}What are you doing|in there?
{54466}{54514}Hello
{54519}{54590}Have you seen our Kotoe?
{54604}{54700}I can't find Sanae|anywhere either
{54859}{54947}- Hello|- Hello there
{54960}{55017}Have you seen|Sanae around?
{55022}{55086}I haven't seen our Matsue
{55634}{55690}Fujiko's so good,|where would she go?
{55695}{55741}Where I wonder?
{55774}{55866}Our children are gone -|Is Takeichi around?
{56400}{56464}Where could they|have got to?
{56668}{56722}Have you seen Kich-chan?
{56732}{56803}He ate his lunch here
{56809}{56856}Where did they go?
{57001}{57091}MINAZUKI RESTAURANT
{57101}{57140}The first graders|are all gone!
{57145}{57210}Masuno's gone, too?
{57277}{57408}Excuse me. Did you see|a group of children go by?
{57423}{57509}I saw them near the store
{57521}{57565}Did they go to a show?
{57574}{57617}Without any money?
{57622}{57683}They'd go to look|at the billboards
{57689}{57767}Wait till my girl|gets home
{57772}{57849}Should we scold them?
{57854}{57926}Well, we can't praise them
{59570}{59613}Wear this
{60133}{60193}Just as long as it takes|to eat a dumpling?
{60198}{60299}I was on the bus|at the time, you know
{60304}{60319}You lied?
{60332}{60422}No. But I was watching|the scenery, not eating
{60427}{60534}So you just held it|in your hand?
{60593}{60661}Kotoe, we have to|keep walking
{60667}{60738}I'm hungry
{60761}{60819}Come on!
{62838}{62946}Miss Pebble!|Teacher!
{63233}{63299}Miss Pebble!
{63509}{63608}What's happened?
{63617}{63695}We wanted to see you

{63834}{63959}We didn't tell anyone|we were coming

{64006}{64120}You'd better get|in the bus, then
{64176}{64281}I made a lot so eat|all you want
{64297}{64344}You still have some
{64350}{64489}I'm so glad I got back early|from the doctor
{64495}{64513}I want more!
{64572}{64621}Me, too!
{64680}{64750}Ready everyone?
{64881}{65013}All right? Here we go,|look at the flower
{65020}{65086}Steady now ...
{65098}{65141}... and it's done!
{65238}{65305}Goodbye!
{66193}{66330}Hisako, why don't you|answer the principal?
{66342}{66449}You've already decided who|will take my place?
{66454}{66557}At a teachers meeting.|Isn't that what you ...
{66562}{66672}It's not that ...|now I have a problem
{66677}{66729}A problem?
{66734}{66808}I promised the children|I'd go back
{66813}{66850}I'm surprised
{66855}{66904}Can you go by yourself?
{66910}{66998}Your mother says you|can't ride your bicycle
{67003}{67120}Hisako, the principal|is being very kind
{67132}{67191}If she transfers to the|consolidated school ...
{67196}{67265}... she can go by bus
{67270}{67334}Can you transfer her?
{67339}{67447}Your successor is Mrs Goto
{67453}{67552}Normally, she'd have|to retire next year
{67557}{67629}If she takes your job|she can work longer
{67634}{67713}Three more years
{67719}{67768}She'll be happy to come here
{67774}{67835}Isn't that nice?
{67854}{67910}She takes after|her father
{67916}{67957}Stubborn
{67962}{68032}She does resemble him
{68038}{68125}Your father and the principal|were friends
{68130}{68206}That's why he's|so kind to you
{68211}{68265}Excuse me!
{68366}{68454}Thanks for treating|the children the other day
{68459}{68559}It was nothing. I was happy|to have them come
{68564}{68626}Here are some presents
{68650}{68693}From the families ...
{68698}{68823}Rice, beans, dried fish ...
{69476}{69520}Miss Pebble!
{69526}{69560}Miss Pebble's coming!
{69567}{69651}Miss Pebble's coming!
{70556}{70601}How's your leg?
{70606}{70661}Can you ride your bike?
{70668}{70742}It may take|half a year more
{70747}{70801}Will you come by boat?
{70842}{70928}It's too far to walk
{70942}{71005}Let's go to school
{71010}{71048}Teacher!
{71169}{71216}How's your leg?
{71221}{71249}It's all right
{71254}{71349}Thanks for the rice|the other day
{71390}{71470}I want to thank you|for the beans
{71475}{71536}I sent sesame seeds
{71558}{71634}Then thanks for the sesame
{71639}{71716}Thank you for your gifts
{71733}{71800}I was going to|send you something ...

{71805}{71844}... but I was too late

{71865}{71922}Pardon me!
{71964}{72054}Thank you for all|of the presents
{72059}{72129}Not at all
{72181}{72293}I'm always meddling ...
{72464}{72596}I can't ride my bicycle|for quite a while
{72601}{72690}And yet school|is so far away
{72696}{72838}If I limped along,|it would take a long time
{72845}{72950}That's why I can't ...
{72957}{73060}We'll come for you|every day by boat
{73066}{73159}And take me back home?
{73215}{73247}Thank you
{73252}{73339}I wish I had known|that sooner
{73344}{73467}I'm transferring to|the consolidated school
{73472}{73568}I'll be there when|you're in the sixth year
{73573}{73687}I just came to say goodbye
{73697}{73761}Another teacher will|take my place
{73767}{73823}Study hard
{73842}{73897}I loved teaching here
{73902}{73976}But with my leg|like this ...
{74010}{74090}We're sorry
{74119}{74183}It's all right
{74189}{74248}All children dig holes
{74254}{74312}It was my fault
{74359}{74453}She came especially|to see all of you
{74458}{74501}You should be happy
{74506}{74587}Instead you're all crying
{74615}{74697}Are you all right,|Miss Oishi?
{74706}{74769}Yes, thanks
{74818}{74905}Women and children|are hard to handle
{74911}{74986}Everybody cry!
{74991}{75040}Cry!
{75082}{75156}It's too much
{76120}{76179}Teacher!
{76254}{76297}Come again!
{76303}{76377}When your leg gets better!
{76383}{76451}Promise us!
{76456}{76527}Promise us!
{76533}{76648}Goodbye!
{76838}{76944}Let's sing her a song!
{77066}{77265}<i>Mother Crow, why do you|sing so sadly?</i>
{77271}{77368}<i>Because she left|a beautiful child of seven ...</i>
{77373}{77464}<i>... in the mountain,</i>
{77470}{77658}<i>"I miss him, I miss him"|sings the crow,</i>
{77664}{77852}<i>"I miss him, I miss him"|sings the crow,</i>
{77858}{77949}<i>Go and look|in the mountain,</i>
{77955}{78045}<i>There you'll find|a beautiful child ...</i>
{78239}{78342}<i>The colour of the sea and|the shape of the mountains ...</i>
{78348}{78471}<i>... remained the same,|but tomorrow became today</i>
{78497}{78671}<i>Five years passed</i>
{78698}{78816}<i>The Manchurian and Shanghai|Incidents occurred</i>
{78823}{78946}<i>The entire world went|through a depression</i>
{78975}{79129}<i>Without knowing the future ...</i>
{79135}{79336}<i>... the children were caught up|in their own joys and sorrows</
i>
{82614}{82672}It's the principal!
{82732}{82800}Good morning
{82813}{82857}Why did you come here?
{82862}{82923}We want to see|Miss Oishi's husband
{82928}{83033}- How did you know?|- Kotsuru found out

{83044}{83134}He's an officer on a ship.|Everybody knows that

{83144}{83195}We want to see him
{83239}{83327}You certainly know|how to stare, don't you?
{83332}{83452}- Is Miss Oishi coming?|- She's getting ready
{83482}{83589}- She's very beautiful|- Let's go see!
{83594}{83653}I'm too shy!
{83703}{83761}I've got to go home
{83767}{83831}Why? Today's special
{83837}{83919}I already had a hard|time sneaking out
{83925}{84009}You all better go home|and help your parents
{84015}{84075}School starts in five days
{84081}{84116}So we're playing now
{84121}{84206}Is that any way for|sixth years to talk?
{84211}{84274}There's work at home
{84279}{84335}The boat's coming !
{85368}{85400}He's so fat!
{85405}{85458}Her husband's the one|at the back
{86758}{86808}He's all right!
{86814}{86838}Matsue!
{86844}{86891}What do you want?
{86897}{86963}Stop playing
{86995}{87037}Your mother's having|the baby now
{87042}{87102}- Really|- Hurry home
{87107}{87188}You can't walk all the way back!
{87511}{87600}Matsue, give your father|plenty to eat
{87605}{87656}Don't fill up yours ...
{87662}{87704}... it's too big
{87709}{87827}I want a new lunch box|with a lily on it
{87833}{87894}- Buy me one|- I can't get up yet
{87915}{87968}When you do get up
{87973}{88059}Who's going to pay for it?
{88064}{88156}Wait until your father|earns some money
{88162}{88236}- I'll buy you one|- You will?
{88242}{88292}Be patient
{88297}{88374}Stay home today
{88381}{88437}I don't feel so good
{88443}{88573}- Matsue can stay|- I need all the work I can get
{88849}{88915}You'd better hurry|to school
{88921}{89000}- Don't you need me?|- Don't stay here
{89005}{89089}It's your first day|in the sixth grade
{89095}{89164}Come home right away
{89174}{89280}Don't mention the lunch box|in front of him
{89285}{89367}Your father is having|trouble finding work
{89373}{89456}The other girls have|new lunch boxes
{89462}{89545}You promised to buy|me one this year
{89551}{89627}I'm ashamed of|my old one
{89985}{90038}My mother had|a baby girl
{90049}{90124}Congratulations!|What's her name?
{90130}{90223}Nothing yet.|I'm going to give her a name
{90247}{90371}- Have you thought of a name?|- I'm thinking now
{90381}{90429}What's a good name?
{90450}{90539}You seem happy. What is it?
{90545}{90635}My mother is going to|buy me a new lunch box ...
{90640}{90691}... with a lily|on the lid
{90696}{90781}That's nice. With a picture of a lily?
{90803}{90917}Lily's a good name!|Lily - Yuri!
{90921}{91017}Name her that!|Yuriko or Yurie
{91024}{91110}Yurie is better.|There are too many Yurikos
{91116}{91159}It smells good
{91168}{91223}You smell like a bride

{92197}{92280}What's going on?|Somebody's sick

{92286}{92352}Appendicitis?
{92477}{92528}Mats-chan, what's the matter?
{93092}{93221}You're very kind but|unless the baby dies ...
{93227}{93305}... I can't let Matsue|go to school
{93312}{93375}I'm sorry for Matsue
{93396}{93468}I'm a widower now
{93481}{93550}I don't know what to do
{93827}{93952}Mats-chan, this lunch box|has a lily on its lid
{93962}{94059}Use it when you|come back to school
{94133}{94214}Help your father at home
{94225}{94304}I'll be thinking of you
{94311}{94413}Mats-chan, you're a good girl
{94512}{94600}She wanted a new lunch box
{94605}{94659}Thank you
{94677}{94752}The baby is premature ...
{94757}{94859}... and has no mother
{94883}{94957}She hasn't much of|a chance to live
{94986}{95061}She's better off dead
{95077}{95169}What hope is there|for poor families like us?
{95978}{96035}Teacher!
{96162}{96247}Mats-chan's baby sister died!
{96286}{96389}My grandmother went over ...
{96394}{96464}... Matsue's father was|drunk and crying
{96557}{96619}The poor baby
{97539}{97590}Good morning
{97935}{97972}What is it?
{97979}{98041}They arrested Mr Kataoka
{98054}{98112}The police are still here
{98120}{98196}- What did he do?|- They say he's a Red
{98202}{98317}A Red?|How can they say that?
{98372}{98484}He'll be released soon|for lack of evidence
{98489}{98529}It's most unpleasant
{98533}{98653}- What's the complaint?|- It's because of Kataoka's friend
{98658}{98769}His friend tried to spread|anti-war ideas
{98775}{98922}He and his pupils|printed a little book
{98928}{99008}The police thought Kataoka|had a copy
{99013}{99102}I've seen that book
{99108}{99189}That's evidence?
{99197}{99278}Say that and they'll think|you're a Red!
{99284}{99394}I was quite impressed|with it
{99400}{99453}My class read parts
{99457}{99553}Some of the essays|were very good
{99558}{99627}But it's dangerous!
{99633}{99682}A copy was sent here
{99687}{99748}- Where is it now?|- In my classroom
{99753}{99797}Oh, no!
{99806}{99874}We teachers must|be patriotic
{100377}{100512}You nearly frightened me|to death
{100917}{100944}<i>Dear Matsue ...</i>
{100949}{101046}<i>... I heard about|your baby sister</i>
{101052}{101116}<i>It made me very sad</i>
{101121}{101190}<i>Such things cannot|be helped</i>
{101195}{101323}<i>Cheer up. In our hearts|we can still love her</i>
{101330}{101404}<i>When will you be back?</i>
{101409}{101462}<i>I look at your empty desk|and think of you</i>
{101497}{101590}Class, who gets|a newspaper at home?
{101627}{101673}Who reads one?
{101693}{101732}Only three of you?
{101761}{101832}Who knows what|a communist is?

{101855}{101947}You don't know?|How about a capitalist?

{101987}{102028}They're rich
{102062}{102145}All right.|What are labourers?
{102318}{102439}As your father's friend,|I'm concerned about you
{102445}{102573}Your mother will worry|if you get into trouble
{102578}{102676}My students knew about|Kataoka and the book
{102681}{102735}They asked questions
{102740}{102820}Tell them you don't know
{102825}{102918}That's enough. You must|be careful of what you say
{102924}{102990}Proletariat, capitalists ...
{102996}{103078}... don't discuss such things
{103096}{103139}I'll be careful
{103144}{103189}Do that
{103194}{103311}It's foolish to be|too outspoken
{103843}{103892}Teacher
{103934}{103989}What about Matsue?
{104005}{104049}Did you give her|my letter?
{104054}{104142}I saw a strange woman|when I went over there
{104148}{104239}She took Matsue with her|on the ferry
{104276}{104341}Matsue's being adopted
{104369}{104501}Matsue cried saying|she wouldn't go
{104505}{104608}Her father was calm|and gentle at first
{104613}{104672}She refused again ...
{104677}{104757}... so he began to hit her
{104762}{104910}She cried a lot but|finally agreed to go
{104935}{104984}Everybody was crying
{104991}{105031}I cried too
{105036}{105176}I went to see her off|but she didn't speak
{105922}{105972}AUTUMN
{105977}{106047}OCTOBER
{107001}{107066}Fujiko and Sanae|should have come
{107071}{107165}Mi-san too, even if|she is an only child
{107173}{107215}Why couldn't she come?
{107220}{107262}She might catch a cold
{107323}{107405}They'll give her|the trip money anyway
{107410}{107460}Mi-san told me
{107485}{107542}She could save money anytime
{107547}{107659}But this trip is something|to remember
{107665}{107724}I'm using the money|I got from fishing
{107731}{107781}I sold eggs
{107786}{107857}Sonki and I took out|our savings
{107878}{107975}I'm using my savings, too
{107981}{108016}My folks paid
{108021}{108109}My dad bought me|this suit for the trip
{108143}{108194}Look at your shoes
{108258}{108308}Can you walk in them?
{108313}{108380}I wanted size ten but|my father said I grow fast
{108385}{108427}What size are they?
{108472}{108518}Size eleven
{108561}{108662}Fujiko's too poor|so she couldn't come
{108667}{108824}Her house is awfully big|but it's empty
{108831}{108913}They've got nothing|left to sell

{155761}{155867}They went in a small boat
{155873}{155965}They didn't have much|left to take with them
{155970}{156070}Her parents never did|any hard physical work
{156075}{156185}Everybody's afraid|they'll become beggars
{156191}{156277}That's terrible

{161911}{162024}Everybody's away fishing as usual
{162029}{162109}I'm glad you came

{162659}{162786}We were so hungry when|we came to see you
{162793}{162861}I was the first to cry
{162867}{163004}You were all crying|when I met you

{163034}{163114}The noodles you gave us|tasted so good

{163121}{163213}I can still taste them
{163221}{163326}Now you've all grown up
{163333}{163513}I heard that Misako had|a beautiful wedding

{164001}{164081}I met Kotsuru in Osaka
{164087}{164198}She did very well|at midwife school
{164232}{164302}Yes, she writes to me
{164309}{164404}I'm the worst ...
{164547}{164675}I don't have long to live
{164682}{164775}Why say that?|You'll be all right
{164781}{164901}I've been unlucky

{165345}{165394}We talked once about ...

{165512}{165691}I wanted to be kind to|my mother when I grew up
{165716}{165797}I was happy to go|away and become a maid
{165801}{165873}Yes, I remember that
{165885}{166044}You were the brightest girl|in the class
{166053}{166127}I hoped you'd go on|to high school
{166179}{166223}Teacher...
{166559}{166661}I worked hard but got sick|and was sent home
{166669}{166810}Since then, my parents|won't come near me
{166819}{166964}I'm left alone all the time|because I have tuberculosis
{167310}{167449}There are others whose|lives are difficult
{167473}{167570}I saw Mats-chan eight years ago|on our school trip
{167580}{167665}She had a hard life|as a waitress
{167700}{167800}Fujiko and her family|had to move, too
{167820}{167872}Kotsuru's been writing to me
{167877}{168031}She's now working|in a cafe in Kobe
{168070}{168153}Masuno's the only one|who should be happy
{168158}{168264}But she can't stand|her parents' restaurant
{168269}{168399}There aren't that many|happy people
{168430}{168525}So don't think you're alone
{168549}{168669}Please cheer up
