No way he’s too small. 00:03:46:23 00:03:51:08
This boy’s father is taking his daughter
to India for medical treatment. 00:03:53:18 00:04:00:00

If you weren’t show up my dad
would’ve taken me to India. 00:11:25:12 00:11:31:11
- Your donkey has no feet.
- Mine isn’t a donkey. He’s a horse. 00:11:39:01 00:11:45:01

I’m not a donkey master. I’m not a horse master.
I’m here to work. I’ll go home master. 00:11:54:04 00:12:02:20
Why are you leaving? We’re playing.
My dad left me with you. 00:12:03:13 00:12:10:09

Who wants to fight with me? 00:27:02:18 00:27:07:11
Shut up. 00:27:07:16 00:27:11:15
I don’t like you. I’ll tell Mirvais
to buy me a wheelchair. 00:30:02:06 00:30:09:06
You idiot I don’t want you any more. Get lost. 00:30:23:11 00:30:28:14

I’ll tell Mirvais to throw you out. 00:30:46:03 00:30:50:04
It’s none of your business. I won’t go. 00:30:50:04 00:30:54:04
- It’s none of my business?
- No. 00:30:54:04 00:30:57:04
I’ll tell Mirvais to buy me
a wheelchair instead of you. 00:30:57:04 00:31:02:00
Are you happy with this boy? 00:31:12:12 00:31:15:05

I’ll buy you a tricycle. 00:31:38:02 00:31:40:21
I’ll ride you on my back and run.
I’ll wash your clothes but you hit me. 00:31:58:00 00:32:08:10
You grab me by the throat and choke me. 00:32:09:23 00:32:13:21

You ate five carrots.

Don’t fire me. 00:33:00:16 00:33:05:16
You ate bread and became fat.
Too heavy to carry. You, you... 00:33:09:05 00:33:18:01
I’ll wipe your nose. 00:33:29:27 00:33:32:00
I’ll wash your body.
And your face. 00:33:32:00 00:33:35:03
Didn’t I wash you today? 00:33:35:03 00:33:37:23
But you hit me. 00:33:38:06 00:33:40:09

but you keep eating bread. 00:33:40:09 00:33:46:19
You’re heavy. 00:33:47:06 00:33:49:05
Don’t fire me master. 00:34:23:02 00:34:25:19

Hear me dad? 00:56:37:14 00:56:41:22
Why are you crying master? 00:56:42:19 00:56:45:14
Why are you so upset? 00:56:47:21 00:56:50:15
Has anyone bothered you? 00:56:51:17 00:56:56:03
Who owns the two moving spiders? 00:56:56:03 00:57:02:09
Have you seen the spider? They are two. 00:57:05:11 00:57:15:06
Who owns the one moving alone? 00:57:15:17 00:57:20:06
It’s mine. 00:57:21:21 00:57:23:17
- Yours master?
- Yes, they are my spiders. 00:57:25:00 00:27:29:21
Will you give me one? 00:57:31:16 00:57:34:19
Take his dad and I’ll keep his mom. 00:57:34:19 00:57:38:07
You take the dad and I take the mom. 00:57:40:02 00:57:45:07
I washed your body.
I’ll carry you on my back and run. 00:57:50:05 00:57:57:04
I’ll wash your clothes too.
Won’t you give me one? 00:57:57:04 00:58:04:04
I’ll keep the mom and you take the dad. 00:58:04:04 00:58:09:00
Boys, sharpen your swords. 00:58:55:12 00:58:59:10
Go my horse. 00:59:10:20 00:59:13:11
You’re driving me crazy. 01:00:25:15 01:00:28:09
Shut up boys. 01:00:29:02 01:00:30:14

You’re making me crazy. 01:03:29:11 01:03:37:03
Once more my horse. 01:03:37:11 01:03:42:12
Give me two ice creams.
Once my dad returns from India he’ll pay you. 01:03:47:22 01:03:54:05
Why don’t you eat my horse? 01:04:06:02 01:04:10:05
Why don’t you eat my horse? 01:04:14:01 01:04:17:00
My family is hungry. Spare some coins. 01:04:42:11 01:04:49:16
Hey girl, take it. 01:04:51:21 01:04:55:11
God bless you. 01:05:40:02 01:05:44:01
Go fast. 01:06:01:18 01:06:03:12
Go fast. 01:06:05:08 01:06:06:16
No master. 01:06:34:13 01:06:36:16
Why not? 01:06:38:14 01:06:41:07
She chose me first. 01:06:42:13 01:06:44:12
She can not fall in love with two. 01:06:44:13 01:06:48:17
She is mine. 01:06:51:13 01:06:53:23
We can share her loves together. 01:06:53:23 01:07:00:04
Why not? 01:07:05:15 01:07:07:08
Because she chose me first. 01:07:07:08 01:07:10:21
She can’t choose two. Only one master. 01:07:10:21 01:07:15:00
I gave you my spider. You won’t
give me the poor girl? Get lost. 01:07:23:01 01:07:29:10
She’s not bread to cut into halves for each of us. 01:07:32:22 01:07:37:18
She’s not a spider , the father yours
and the mother mine. 01:07:37:19 01:07:45:15
If not, Get lost. I’m not friends
with you any more. 01:07:46:13 01:07:52:21
Come take me. 01:07:59:05 01:08:03:12

Let’s go. 01:15:23:01 01:15:25:21
My mother was beautiful like the poor girl. 01:19:35:15 01:19:40:05
She was a beggar with the gypsies. 01:19:40:12 01:19:45:13
My dad found her and married her. 01:19:45:18 01:19:50:02
Every body made fun of them. 01:20:01:16 01:20:06:04
My mom and dad left town to live together. 01:20:06:04 01:20:11:21
Then the war started. 01:20:15:05 01:20:19:12
My mother went on a mine
and died and I was cut in half. 01:20:19:12 01:20:27:12
Now pour some water
on my feet’s grave my horse. 01:20:27:12 01:20:36:06
My mother died and I was left footless. 01:20:39:02 01:20:43:23
Where are you mom? 01:21:24:10 01:21:30:01
Now pour some water
on my feet’s grave my horse. 01:21:47:08 01:21:53:20
If I had my legs I’d be taller than you. 01:21:54:03 01:21:59:02
Hey boy, will you rent your horse for
20 Rupees (40 cents)? 01:23:08:02 01:23:12:01

Forget about 20 Rupees. 100 Rupees. 01:23:25:16 01:23:29:20
A donkey’s fare is 20 Rupees. 01:23:29:20 01:23:33:18
No 40 Rupees. Pay cash. 01:23:33:21 01:23:37:00
Bend my horse. Bend. 01:23:48:22 01:23:53:02
Give me money. It’ll be a blessing. 01:23:56:19 01:24:00:00
If you fall it’s your own risk.
I won’t answer your mom. 01:24:11:10 01:24:15:02

in honor of my mother. 01:24:15:02 01:24:19:21

Pull the right ear it’ll go right. 01:33:28:02 01:33:33:08

Pull both ears and go. 01:34:09:16 01:34:13:06
Say halt and he’ll stop. 01:34:17:21 01:34:22:02
Don’t you understand kid? 01:34:24:23 01:34:29:08
You broke my horse. 01:34:29:08 01:34:33:03
