Grandma.
Are there any sour papayas left
that you took from Aunt Ju?
Yes, there are.
Give me some.

Are these enough?

I don't need the bottle.
Not the bottle, Dawang.
Go and play by yourself.
Look at your drool.

Throw it over there.
Don't let him play here.
No one plays with me.
I'm pissed.
I'm so sad.
Look at mine. It's so long.
Mine fell apart.
No need to wash them, Penji.
Our hands are clean.
It's very sour.
My mouth's watering as I'm cutting.
