January night
Storyboard Text
- Halku came in and said to his wife, “The Landlord’s come! Get the rupeesyou set aside, I’ll give him the money. Munni had been sweeping. Sheturned around and said, ‘But there’s only 3 rupees. If you give them to him, where's the blanket going to come from? How are you going to get through these January nights in the field? Tell him we'll pay him after the Harvest, not right now'. Sadly Halku said, 'then I'll have to put up with his excuse'. The bitter words in Halku's truth came charging at Munni like a wild beast. She went into the niche in the wall, took the rupees and handed them over to Halku.
- Halku took the money and went outside looking as though he were tearinghis heart out and giving it away. He’d saved the rupees from his work, piceby pice, for his blanket. Today he was going to throw it away. With everystep his head sank lower under the burden of his poverty.
- A dark January night. In the sky even the stars seemed to be shivering. Atthe edge of his field, underneath a shelter of cane leaves, Halku lay on abamboo cot wrapped up in his old burlap shawl, shivering. Underneath thecot his friend, Jabra the dog, was whimpering with his muzzle pressed intohis belly. Neither one of them was able to sleep.
- Halku curled up drawing his knees close against his chin and said, ‘Cold,Jabra! Didn’t I tell you, in the house you could lie in the paddy straw! Sowhy did you come out here!, Now you’ll have to bear the cold, there’snothing I can do. You thought I was coming out here to eat puris and sweetsand you came running on ahead of me. Now you can moan all you want.’
- Halku lay down. When he could no longer bear the cold, he gently picked Jabra and got him to fall asleep. His body gave off some kind of stink but Halku, hugging him tight, experienced a happiness he had not ffelt for months. Jabra probably thought he was in heaven, and in Halku's innocent heart there was no resentment of his smell. He embraced him with the very same affection he would have felt for a brother. He was not crippled by poverty yet. Rather it was as though thi singular friendship had opened all the doors to his heart and brilliantly illuminated every atom of it.#160;
- Close to Halku's field there was a mango grove. Halku thought, 'If I go and get a pile of leaves I can make a fire of them and keep warm.' Jabra had found a bone and was chewing on it. Halku set his fire down on the ground and began to gather leaves. IN a little while he had a great heep and the fire was burning branches. Halku was sitting before the fire and let it warm him.#160;
