Good morning, my brother, John.
You are very early this beautiful morning!
You are still expecting some post, arenít you?
Oh, hello my dear Burtie. I keep waiting, I always wait,
and I wish I would receive something different from my bills.
Oh, I canít percieve, I simply canít percieve what you expect from the post office.
Are you sure that he will send you any letters in the near future?
Your son lives abroad, and anyway modern technology has made such good progress nowadays...
Well, Burtie, I am as good at technology as you are at gardening...
However, you shouldnít keep waiting every morning and standing as if you were looking for a wonder...
here is the daily milk,
enjoy it,
and have fun in waiting.
Thank you, Burtie.
Good morning my dearest Mike. On time as always.
Good morning, Uncle John. How are you doing?
Fine, thank you. Have you brought anything? Have you got any personal post for me?
No, nothing personal. ...Well...itís... an electicity bill.
Whatís this? This is the phone bill.
Thanks, Thatís what it is. Take care.
Good Bye, Uncle John.
Bye, Mike.
Oh, I just donít understand why you are still waiting for his reply.
Donít expect anything.
He will not get in touch with you any more.
You just... delude yourself with false hopes.
It is true, I should give up waiting.
The post cannot fool me any more.
Thank you. I will take your advice.
Ney, no matter. Just an old tat is thanking me for nothing.
But, the main point is that forget about him.
He wasnít the only man that suits you.
Good lads can show up at any time. You never know...
Good morning, Uncle John!
Good Morning, Everybody! How are you getting on, Mary?
Oh, this morning one of my hens made a trick on meÖ
So what did it do?
In the morning I went to the henhouse to feed my hens.
You know this year I have only 12 chickens.
So they were gathering around me because it was the feeding time.
And while I was putting the food for them, somehow I spotted that one wasnít in the queue
and I was counting and counting but I found 11 hens in the house.
So where did the twelfth scamp hide from me ñ I asked myselfÖisnít it hungry?
I was bending down and about to leave the henhouse
ñ you know I have the bucket full of henfeed, thereís no room to swing a cat ñ
suddenly the scamp one jumps on my head.
I threw away the bucket,
oh my God, I was screaming and shouting but it was still dancing on my head.
So, well Mary. You do have todayís dinner, donít you?
Yes, I do. I have told my husband Ñhunt that chicken downî.
Weíre having a broth soup tonight
Anyway, how are you getting on with the gardening this spring?
Donít ask me. I am suffering from lumbago and to make matters worse I canít prune the roses.
How did you say you would do it?
I have already told you, leave four or five main sticks, two buds and cut above it.
Oh, well, Iíll drop by tomorrow and do it for you.
Thank you, indeed, you have a great heart, a heart of gold, thank you.
How are you doing, dear uncle Andree.
Thank you, I am doing well, we are doing up the parish house next to the church.
And how about you?
Have you received any news from your son?
No, I havenít.
I havenít got any personal letters from him or anybody else for ten years.
And I wish I knew something about him.
Donít be silly Johnnie, he must be very happy.
As the son of a gardener he must have learnt a lot from you about plants, he will benefit from his talent.
He will greet you on your birthday.
Because, people donít celebrate their 60th birtday every day.
My old friend I do hope it will come true.
Sorry I must go to work, bye. -Bye
Sorry, I have to go. See you later. -Good bye, Mary.
I also must go. See you, Andrew.
Madam.
Good bye, Uncle John.
Good bye.
Johnnie, Johnnie.
Let me introduce my wife.
Nice to meet you. Pretty girl.
Anyway, if you want to taste some home-made food, you are welcom in my house.
See you.
Oh, I canít believe my eyes. Johnny, is it you?
You have changed a lot.
I have the pleasure to meet...
Daddy, let me introduce my wife, Petra.
Ok, come right in. 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,700 Have a sit, please.
And please, tell me whatís going on with you.
How did you get to know each other?
Well, first we made friends at university.
Immediately, we got on well, and found ourselves to be the only Hungarians in the team.
And our relationship grew deeper.
But we came to say happy birthday to you,
and then we must leave cause our plane leaves in the evening.
Oh, my sonÖThis is neither the first nor the last time you will do it.
I am sorry but I am very busy.
ErÖOK, I accept it, and I really understand you.
But I wish you would keep in touch with me more frequently.
Right, Daddy. But donít blame me for it.
Let me ask you, how are you doing in London?
Now, everything is fine.
We have got about 50 acres of land, and we grow a lot of flowers there.
Let me show you a beautiful picture.
Wow, you made me very curious about the planters.
For sure you would like them. They are really nice.
And Petra, what do you do? Are you a botanist, too?
Yes, I also study plant life. We set up the enterprise together in England.
It is interesting and we donít need to complain about the salary. I can say we earn well.
Well, great! Fantastic, both of you study flowers!
I can say my whole family is crazy about plants.
Good afternoon, Mike! Why are you so late today?
You can see, my bike has just broken down for five minutes.
I am sorry. It has just happened for 5 minutes. I donít know why.
Oh, it seems an old gin. Really worn and damaged.
I am sorry, so sorry.
And have you got any personal post for me?
Oh, yes the letters. 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,500 No. Thereís nothing personal.
Well. What do I expect? Too much.
My son left my house. When was it?
About half an year ago. So a lot of things could have happened to him so far away in England.
Thanks.
Not at all. See you tomorrow!
Uncle John, dear Uncle John. You wonít believe it.
You have received a letter, right from London.
Show me!
ÑDear Daddy,
When we met last time, we saw how much you appreciated our visit.
It made me happy, too.
However, I am writing to ask you a big favour.
I hope I am not inconvenient and I donít want to multiply the burden on your shoulder.
Not so long ago I was informed about my car that parks in Hungary.
It is not parked in the right place. So it was towed away.
I wonder if you could be so kind as to follow what happens to it and let me know the details, please.
Love: Your sonî
WellÖ there was nothing personal in his letter.
