Kafuka: Inaka isha

Boy:
Doctor, let me die...

Boy:
[the doctor is with the boy into the bed] Do you know? ,my confidence in you is very small. You were only shaken out from somewhere. You don't come on your own feet. Instead of helping, you give me less room on my deathbed. The best thing would be if I scratch your eyes out.

Doctor:
Right,it's a disgrace. But now I'm a doctor. What am I supposed to do? Believe me, things are not easy for me either.

Packhorse Driver:
Climb in

Doctor:
But I'll take the reins. You don't know the way

Packhorse Driver:
Of course, I'm not going with you, I'm staying with Rosa [Rosa screams and runs into the house]

Boy:
I came into the world with a beautiful wound; that was all I was furnished with

Children choir:
[singing] Take his clothes off, then he'll heal, and if he doesn't cure, then kill him. It's only a doctor; it's only a doctor.

Rosa:
One doesn't know the sorts of things one has stored in one's own house [Rosa and the Doctor Laughs]

Packhorse Driver:
[Calling to the horses] Hey, Brother, hey Sister!

Doctor:
[Voice-Over] Yes, I think blasphemously, in such cases the gods do help.

Doctor:
[Voice-Over] What more do I want, an old country doctor, robbed of my servant girl!

Doctor:
[Leaving the bed] Young friend, your mistake is that you have no perspective. I've already been in all the sick rooms, far and wide, and I tell you your wound is not so bad. Made in a tight corner with two blows from an axe. Many people offer their side and hardly hear the axe in the forest, to say nothing of the fact that it's coming closer to them.

Boy:
Is that really so, or are you deceiving me in my fever?

Doctor:
It is truly so. Take the word of honour of a medical doctor.
