All around are fields - my fields.
Water is flowing - my water.
Coins are ringing - my coins.
98 coins, 99...
Oh, if I had another one, it would be 100.
Ah... Hassan.
Hassan, you will not go to heaven now.
Why not, master?
You're stealing my water.
Quickly, pay me a coin.
One... ah... one coin.
Oh, but remember Ajar-bay, I paid you only yesterday.
Yesterday? Oh, yesterday, yesterday.
Yesterday you paid for yesterday's water, but today...
One coin.
Do you hear master, how the sands sing?
The Gamsyn is coming - the hot wind of death.
The fields will die without water.
The Gamsyn's a good thing.
You shall pay two coins.
You can't get two skullcaps from one head! I have no more money.
I have no more money.
No coin - no water.
Ah, oh-oh!
No coin - no water.
The Gamsyn is coming.
Water is needed - my water.
Coins are ringing - my coins.
What's this? My water, my water, my water!
A watermelon seed.
Is Hassan taking a day off?
And he said that he no longer has even one coin!
How can you trust people after something like this?
I gave the stork water. He came to life and gave me a seed.
From it grew this watermelon.
Hassan, so much gold!
Where will it all go?
I will give some to you, and some to him.
But it's a lot of gold.
Well, there are even more poor people in the world.
Ay, ay-ay, poor thing.
Poor stork, who dared to make you suffer?
I'll help you.
I'll give you some water, lots of water.
But then you give me a watermelon seed.
My load is heavy, with this large watermelon.
But it'll bring coins, my coins.
My load is heavy, with this large watermelon.
But it'll bring coins, my coins.
Help me, stork!
Didn't I help you too?!
