00:00:08.882 --> 00:00:11.022
How are your parents, Zo?
2
00:00:11.265 --> 00:00:12.195
They are fine.
3
00:00:12.515 --> 00:00:14.444
Father works very hard.
4
00:00:14.593 --> 00:00:18.562
He goes early in the morning
and returns late at night.
5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.054
He says that the city is no place
for a young boy like me to live in.
6
00:00:24.289 --> 00:00:29.717
Mother is busy all day, doing housework
and taking care of little Ingo.
7
00:00:29.751 --> 00:00:32.068
Ah, your brother Ingo!
8
00:00:32.365 --> 00:00:33.295
How is he?
9
00:00:33.608 --> 00:00:36.498
He was a toddler
when I last saw him.
10
00:00:36.662 --> 00:00:39.318
He was just learning to walk.
11
00:00:39.513 --> 00:00:41.357
Ingo talks a lot now.
12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.537
Unfortunately, father doesn't get
to spend much time with Ingo...
13
00:00:45.842 --> 00:00:48.230
Zo, what does your father do?
14
00:00:48.410 --> 00:00:54.441
He works as a labourer in the PWD, you
know, the Public Works Department.
15
00:00:55.004 --> 00:01:00.757
I think they work on projects related to
building canals, roads, bridges…
16
00:01:00.782 --> 00:01:02.538
and other construction work.
17
00:01:02.642 --> 00:01:04.277
Oh, how interesting!
18
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:08.292
Do you know that they are
constructing a canal in this village?
19
00:01:08.394 --> 00:01:10.910
See those trucks
by the side of the road?
20
00:01:11.364 --> 00:01:13.082
They are here to build the canal.
21
00:01:13.417 --> 00:01:14.949
They will soon start digging.
22
00:01:14.974 --> 00:01:15.583
Yes.
23
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:20.144
I heard my uncle say that he will
lose his land to the project.
24
00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:23.011
What does your uncle do, Kanasu?
25
00:01:23.269 --> 00:01:24.316
He's a farmer.
26
00:01:24.496 --> 00:01:26.019
He grows vegetables.
27
00:01:26.308 --> 00:01:30.683
He also has a shop in the Chotapur market
where he sells them.
28
00:01:31.096 --> 00:01:35.643
Actually, I think my father is quite happy
about the canal coming up.
29
00:01:35.668 --> 00:01:38.465
Oh, is your father also a farmer?
30
00:01:38.645 --> 00:01:42.074
Yes, Sahir's father grows
paddy in his field.
31
00:01:42.363 --> 00:01:44.800
What does your mother do, Sahir?
32
00:01:45.878 --> 00:01:48.129
Well, my mother works at home.
33
00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:51.402
By the way, Kanasu's mother
is a school teacher.
34
00:01:51.496 --> 00:01:52.894
She teaches English.
35
00:01:53.011 --> 00:01:55.136
Will you study in our school, Zo?
36
00:01:55.308 --> 00:01:58.040
I think our school is the
best in the whole district.
37
00:01:58.249 --> 00:01:59.690
Do you agree, Sahir?
38
00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:02.659
Yes, Yes... I agree Kanasu.
39
00:02:02.731 --> 00:02:04.731
No one can disagree with you.
40
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:08.831
So, Zo, you will have to
agree with her as well.
41
00:02:09.187 --> 00:02:13.284
Kanasu and Sahir, both of you
are fun to be around with.
42
00:02:13.318 --> 00:02:15.549
Now, we take a right here.
43
00:02:15.817 --> 00:02:18.313
Can you see the
gate in front, Zo?
44
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.266
That is your new home.
45
00:02:22.877 --> 00:02:24.748
Come, Sahir and Kanasu.
46
00:02:24.859 --> 00:02:26.565
Join us for some tea.
47
00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:31.829
Meanwhile, Zo can help you
fix your cycle, Kanasu.
