What's the matter, Liese?

Why did you stop suddenly?

Well, run! Run!

What's the matter?

What shall I do?

I can't pull the carriage!
Liese, dear Liese, run!

Why do you leave me in the lurch?

Which things are you doing there?

Well, is the harness the matter here?

My God, you scared me!

Because of that you didn't
want to go on walking, ah!

– Now, who are you?
– I'm the golden Mary.

The golden Mary! Surely you are named so
because of your beautiful golden hair!

– Yes.
– And why did you hide from me?

I thought you were a robber
because of your big knife!

Me? No! I'm grindstone Joseph!

Sharpening knifes, sharpening scissors,
this is all I can! Jump!

Giddyap!

Now? Liese!

Sometimes she doesn't
want what I want!

– Where do you want to travel?
– To Blumenau!

To Blumenau? Oh, I want to
travel there too!

Gee up, Liese!

Blumenau, a beautiful village!
Kind people live there!

Well, also some less kind ones are there.
Just as anywhere!

But tell me, golden Mary, why did
your parents send you alone to Blumenau?

– But I've got no parents! My parents are
dead. – Dead? Oh, I'm sorry for that.

And with whom you're gonna live now?

I shall go to my aunt,
Berta the widow, in Blumenau.

– Berta the widow?
– Do you know her?

Of course I know her. Look, I know
all people, all people know me.

She lives in the front of the village. It's the
house with the colorful flowers under the shutters.

Is it right, that she even
has got a daughter?

Yes, it's right. By the way,
her name is Mary too!

She has got coal black hair, yea.
And she's a bit older than you.

Oh, now I'm happy!
We could play together!

Play? Well, maybe you can play.
It's possible.

Now pay attention!
Soon we'll see the village Blumenau.

Behind this curve.

Do you see? This is Blumenau!

She should be here already.

Surely she started later.
Or maybe she won't come!

But you promised she'd come!
You told it!

And you promised I no more
had to cook, to iron, to clean and to wash!

Every morning I could sleep off
and stay awake every evening …

Yes, yes, of course she'll
come, little Mary …

And you promised that my hands
could stay white and clean.

… Every day I'd be allowed to
wear my Sunday dress …

But if she doesn't come!

But kid, kid, it's well.
Of course, of course …

Come into the house. Eat a piece of cake and
have a rest. You've been so hard-working.

You've token off all the
washing so nicely. Well, come.

That's the house. Here
lives your aunt. Brrr!

Now, here are we. I'm gonna stay here in the village
for the whole day. Maybe you'll see me again!

– And I wish you all the best. Good luck!
Goodbye, grindstone Joseph! Thank you!

Goodbye! Giddyap!

Well, Liese, giddyap!

– Stop, my bundle!
– What? Brrr! Oh, yes.

– Thank you! – Please!

Giddyap! Giddyap, Liese!

Goodbye!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!
The golden Mary is here!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!
c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

It's grindstone Joseph! Come out!
It's grindstone Joseph! Come out!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

So you are Mary?

Yes, the golden Mary!

The golden Mary!

Come in!

Close the door!

So you'll stay here with us now?

Yes.

Be glad that you found somebody
who'll care for you.

But there's much work. If you're lazy,
my mother will send you away.

I always used to help
my mother working too.

Yes? Now, that's nice.

Why are you still not putting down your
stuff and beginning tidying up the table?

Now, go!

– Then you've to carry the washing inside.
– And wood from the shed.

– And my bed has to be shaken.
– And the room to be swept.

Stop! The kitchen is up there!

The knifes, the knifes I grind in a flash!

– The scissors, the scissors … – Take up knifes and
sizzers and carry them outside. The big one too.

– Me? – Who else?

Hey, Mary! Go outside. The
scissors sharpener is up there.

Take the knifes from the kitchen and the scissors
from the left drawer and carry them outside to him.

– But come back quickly!
– I've also got a lot to do for you. Go!

Grindstone Joseph is here! Come out!

But kids, don't jostle so. I need space.

Shall I sharpen this one completely sharp?
You'll be astonished about how sharp it'll get.

A knife, that costs a kreutzer,
some scissors, they cost two,

One knife and some scissors
will cost of kreutzers three.

Clip and clap and clap and clip,
all kids sing along to me!

Sharpener, sharpener, you're a poor wight!

– You've got an empty purse, only a laughing face! – Look up
there! Have you seen her ever before? – No, I don't know her.

Ah, here you're again, my golden Mary.
Now, sit down.

A knife, that costs a kreutzer,
some scissors, they cost two,

sharpening knifes, shapening scissors,
that's all I can!

Sharpener, sharpener, you're a poor wight!

You've got an empty purse,
only a laughing face!

Scissors, knifes, give them to me!
Give me work, dear people!

What's that? Did I send you outside for
dancing, if the work is calling inside?

March, into the house!

– Give my knifes to me!
– Please.

My scissors too!

– What do I owe you?
– Ten kreutzers.

– What? – Yeah … that costs it.

Obedient servant!

Old witch …

This naughty thing puts itself into the
yard and dances in broad daylight.

– I'll expell you dancing still, lazy thing!
Take up wood! – First I wanted to take water …

– Water too!
– And feed the goats!

– And carry inside the clothes basket! –
Yes. – And don't dawdle so long! – Yes.

– Farewell, grindstone Joseph!
– Farewell, golden Mary! Goodbye!

– Where do you have the wood?
– Why are the beds not yet shaken?

Jump and dance she can, yes.
But working I'll teach her still.

– It's the chamberlain!
– Surely an important message!

Come! We'll go there!

You'll stay here! Get to work!

– Hyazintha, come! – Yes, yes!

Show that you come! Dawdler!

I have been sent from your prince
and father of the country!

I'm going to read out a message
of his Serene Highness, the prince!

High, high, high!

To my country's children!

I, your prince and father of the country,
deign to order a princely court tailor

for my princely family.

The princely court tailor will become that girl who
can spin the most beautiful yarn of the country.

In three months from today on I'm going
to do a trip through my country myself

and check all yarn spun by the girls.

That girl, who can show me the most beautiful
yarn, I'm going to take up to my castle.

It will get the title “Princely Court Tailor”
and 100 thalers wage. And 100 thalers wage.

– Princely court tailor!
– 100 thalers wage!

That's something for you, my child.
You'll become princely court tailor.

– And I'll wear golden dresses.
– You'll marry a prince.

And I'll ride in a golden coach.

You'll spin the most beautiful yarn
the prince has ever seen.

– Spin? But I can't spin!
– What? You can't spin?

– No! – Of course you can't spin.
I myself can spin only hardly.

Yes, yes. We'll get some idea.
Of course. So you'll learn spinning.

– Now immediately! – Ow!

Hey, hey, where is this lazy thing? Where are
you? I'll just look for her in the yard.

What? You're not finish yet?

Drop everything and take up the spinning
wheel from the attic! Go, run, hurry up!

– But where is …
– There! Go upstairs!

With this my child will spin the most
beautiful yarn the prince has ever seen.

But how?

But that's all very simple, my kid. Look:

With your right hand you grasp the wool and
with the left one … no, the other way around.

With your left hand you grasp the wool, with
the foot you pedal, with the right hand …

Where's the lazy thing
with the spinning wheel?

Well: Pedaling with the hand,
and rotating the thread with the foot.

Nonsense. Like this: Pedaling with the foot
and rotating the thread with the hand.

Mmh, yes. Pedaling with the thread
and rotating the foot with the hand.

– No … with the thread the foot …
– There's golden Mary.

The spinning wheel has stood around for
a long time. I'm going to tighten the cord.

We don't need you right now. Go to the
yard and carry the washing inside.

– How does that work?
– Where could the distaff belong to?

– Now, not there.
– I don't know that.

Neither there.

Now I've to think … how was that …

– In here the distaff belongs.
– How does that work?

– No! Here … – Yes …

And the thread … here …
and in there the thread comes …

And here you've to pedal with the foot.

– Ow!
– What's the matter again? Ah, sit down!

– One moment … so … – And now?

Now you've to pull the thread …
the whool in here. No, like this. This way!

– Caution … – And now?

Pedal with the foot!

Rotate with the hand! The foot!

– Release the foot!
– But you've said …

– Here the fingers belong!
– But where? I don't come along more.

– Silent! Will you release the whool? Such a
silly person … – The spinning wheel is to shame!

– Why is the spinning wheel to shame? – I'll
never learn that, I don't wanna, I'll run away!

– You'll stay here! Come here immediately!
Sit down here! – I can't!

– You shall pedal with the foot here!
– But I'm doing that!

– No, not so fast! Stop!
– Why shall I stop? Did I anything wrong?

– Go on! The hand and the foot …
– Man!

– Let the fingers!
– What? Why? Oh, there …

Come, go on!

Ow!

My foot …

– Don't be so sniveling! – Ow!

Now I've got it! No, I haven't …

Take your fingers away from there!

What? Why? Oh, there …

Caution, the spool!

I'm not to blame …

What are you standing around there?
Go back to the kitchen!

Stop, one moment …

Tell me, my child, can you spin?

– Yes, of course!
– Then come with me!

– Shall I try it once?
– Yes, sit down there.

Well, stand up!

– Well.
– But on such a chair you can't spin.

Hm. Oh well. So it's possible too of
course. I already saw more beautiful yarn.

– Hm, that works completely simple.
– Yes?

Mother and me, we used to spin too.

– So you can spin with us too.
– Yes.

– Come. We'll have a view on the washing.
– No.

– We'll have a look on the washing.
– But I don't wanna!

Now come!

Will you come now?

– Now you will become princely court tailor
nevertheless! – But I can't still not spin!

Shut up! You'll show the prince wunderful
yarn, yarn she in there has spun!

– Why? – She in there will spin until
her fingers are bleeding. Many spools.

And the most beautiful one of all
you'll present to the prince.

– My Princely Court Tailor!
– Thank you!

– Come! Close the shutters!
– Already now?

Otherwise somebody could see you
are not spinning industriously! Come!

Now, my kid? Are you spinning good yarn? You
know that you've to spin still all these spools?

– Oh, bad! The thread is too thin here! And here is … – Oh,
look, mother! And here was a really big node just now!

– But the whool is really short and … – What are
you saying? Are there more pretextes of this kind?

With this whool I spin you the most beautiful
yarn! Such a wonderful, long, fine whool!

Yes, mh, yes, you've to go on spinning now.
Until the last spool.

– We go sleeping now.
– So that we don't disturb you!

But she'll disturb me! How should I sleep now?
The wheel is buzzing like a whole beehive!

– Yes, you're right. You really can't sleep
so. – She shall go outside in the yard!

Yes, right.

– Take the lantern and sit down near
the fountain. – And there you stay!

Until the last spool is spun!

Well … and the stool.

– The lantern will lighten for you.
Good night, my child! – Good night!

– Did you understand now finally that
she shall spin your yarn? – Now yes.

Well.

Listen, people, and let say to you:
The clock has struck ten.

Put out fire and light
and care that there breaks out no fire.

– Hey, night watchman!
– Yes, what's the matter?

– Do you have a light for my lantern?
– But yes, of course! Well.

– Good night, my child.
– I thank you! Good night!

Rotate faster, little wheel!
Spin a little white thread!

A little white thread, a little fine
thread! Like this, like this, like this!

Always around! Always faster, always
faster, like this, like this, like this!

Ow!

My spool! What could I do now?

It's totally bloody!

My spool …

– What's the matter? Who's there?
– It's me!

– What's the matter?
– My spool has fallen into the fountain.

Hm. And so you wake me in
the middle of the night?

What did you say? You've thrown the spool into the
fountain? Into the fountain you've thrown it?

So jump after to take it back!

Get down the ladder and
you'll find your spool again!

The water has disappeared!

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

It's hot!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Oops?

Strange …

Oh, that's beautiful!

– Good afternoon. – Good afternoon,
my child! I'm Mother Hulda.

I saw that you are very attentive
and that you are able to work.

Do you want to go into an
employment relationship?

– Yes, but I'm here to look for my spool!
– I know that!

You'll get it and you should get also
other wage if you are in service with me.

– I like being in service with you.
– So come.

Because I've got so much work and must
think of so much, and nobody helps me.

– Where does it go on here?
– There!

This are the doors to the weather chambers.

– Do you like it? – Yes …

– But you don't look like this. – I'm only
afraid about doing wrong the work in this house!

Oh, my child, you don't need to worry about that.
Mother Hulda makes the weather and you help her.

But how should I make the
clouds, the wind and rain?

Where should I take the snow
and the sunrays from?

You're talking like a girl who's afraid of the
first school day because she can't yet write.

You will learn this all. On this weather
clock you can read all you have to do.

Rain or sunshine, clouds or snow. If the weather clock
is showing rain, you have to make rain, and if …

Oh, good heavens! We have to
go to the clouds chamber!

Open the window, Mary!

Anyway this you must not forget: You always have
to open the windows in the weather chambers.

Do you see, little Mary, you've to stir very strongly,
so that the kettle foams, then there'll be clouds.

Go to the other kettle!

Do you see? Like this!

How can I open this?

You've to stir the strongest way, as you
know it from the large laundry.

Enough! Stop!

Well, now to the rain chamber fastly!
Come, my child!

And one thing you must never forget,
little Mary; This is very important.

Always there may be opened
only one weather chamber.

Ere you open a door, look around carefully, if all doors are
closed really. Otherwise there'll be a big thunderstorm.

Remember that, okay?
And now close the door pretty.

Come!

Well, dear little fish, get to work,
so that there's rain on earth!

Come, my child, open the window!

More, you good fish, more!

You've only to persuade the fish well!

Enough, dear fish! Enough for today!
Ultimately that was only a light shower.

Now, my child, you close the window
and follow me into the wind chamber.

Well, here you can work alone already.

Let the wind whiz out of the windows
so that men's hats fly through the air!

Which one?

– This one? – Yes.

One more! That's not enough.

The big one!

Yes.

Go on! The wind shall clean the sky from clouds so
that it becomes blue and the sun can shine again.

– I can't open this one!
– Oh, come!

Well. Now it's time to go to the sun chamber!
Let the wind simply blow till the end. Come.

What do I have to do here?

You've to clean the windowpanes so
that the sunrays can go outside.

But how?

Always they're dusty.
And always they must be cleaned again.

But up there I can't clean!

You're acting very cleverly, little Mary!
I expect being very happy with your work.

– Where's the snow chamber, Mother Hulda?
– Tomorrow it's going to snow.

Now let it be. Enough sun for today!

I'm going to show you your room now.
Come, my child.

Sunshine, rain, clouds, wind,
flash, hail, ice, snow, sun.

Mother Hulda, Mother Hulda!

Now come. That you children always wanna
forget sleeping by your astonishment …

Well, my child, here you
can sleep and live.

Why are you making such a face?
Don't you like your room?

No.

But why?

Oh, now I've forgotten the furniture!
No, this you really can't like.

A bed, chair, table, wardrobe.

Now sleep well. I'm going to wake
you tomorrow in the morning.

– Good night, Mother Hulda!
– Good night, my child!

That she doesn't wake me …
At home I've to get up much earlier!

I'm going to make my bed.

Just now I was going to wake you! Almost I had forgotten
having such a proficient help since yesterday.

So come, come up!

Well.

– May I do this too?
– Of course! You even have to.

That's not enough for
the children sledging.

Well. Now climb up there, okay?

And take the upper one.

Very well. Nice.

Now take just another cushion.

I'm so glad, golden Mary, that you've
come to me. Stay so industrious.

And always be attentive not to miss or mistake
anything. Otherwise there'll be a big thunderstorm!

Always pay attention on the weather clock.
Well, and now I let you work alone.

So, like this, yes, nice, yes, well.
On there.

Now, you dear little fish! Get to work,
so that there's rain on the earth.

Oops! Rain and snow at once?

So something must be wrong.
You've looked onto the earth too long.

And you've got homesickness.

Now I wanna say you something. You've been of service for
me industriously, you've been well-behaved and clever.

– Now you shall return to earth.
You're happy, aren't you? – I'm!

– But if you need me still, I wanna stay with pleasure!
– No, no, your time with Mother Hulda has gone by.

And surely you're expected on earth.

– Goodbye! – Bye!

Mother Hulda, but I necessarily must
get back my spool, otherwise …

Of course you'll get your
spool, as promised! Come.

Now, my little golden Mary, it's the
end of your time with Mother Hulda.

Step under the gate to receive your wage.

c*ck-a-doodle-doo! Our
golden virgin has returned!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo! Our
golden virgin has returned!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo! Our
golden virgin has returned!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo! Our
golden virgin has returned!

– Hyazinthia, hurry up! Something is going
on again! – Yes, yes, I'm here already!

– Let me pass!
– Who does go forward now, you or me?

– Just let me pass! – Pure gold!

What's going on? What's there? Oh, gold!

– Where have you been?
– So tell!

– How beautiful is she!
– A golden dress!

A silver thread on a golden spool?

I've been with Mother Hulda!

– What did she say?
– What did she do?

What she said … and how she looks …
but what did she do?

Well, my child, you'll come into the house.
She needs rest now!

Surely you're tired.

Go home now!
She's our! Go! Away!

And then you came to the gate. And then?

Then Mother Hulda said I should step under the
gate and then the gold rain fell over me.

– And the spool? – I wanna get such a
golden spool too! I wanna get such a spool!

Soon, soon, it's good now.
How was it about the spool?

– Suddenly I held it in my hand. – I wanna go
to Mother Hulda too. I wanna have such a spool!

Be quiet!

– Surely you're tired now. You'll wanna lie
down a little bit. – I don't wanna sleep!

– But I'm not tired yet!
– But yes, my baby. Who'll be so obstinate?

You're already looking so sleepy. After such a long
trip! And what you all have gone through! Now come.

No, I don't wanna …

Well. And that the child comes not
out ere it slept out nicely!

– Good night! – Good night!

Go, now come!

– Take the spinning wheel from the attic!
Hurry up! – Ow!

Don't you wanna have a golden
dress and a silver thread?

Hurry up now! Should perhaps
I run to Mother Hulda?

– What? I shall go to Mother Hulda? – Silly
question! Of course you shall! Now immediately!

– I shall climb down the fountain? No!
– Keep your mouth shut and come!

I don't wanna!

Sht! Be silent! Do you want perhaps
her inside know what you're going to do?

– No, but I'm afraid! – Shut up! Afraid!
You've heard yourself what to do!

Prick your finger, throw the spool into the fountain,
then you cry and then the ladder already comes.

– And then?
– Then you climb down the ladder.

– And then? – Oh, my God! Then you
go through the door onto the meadow.

– And then? – Oh, goodness gracious!
Then sit down and howl!

Or wait until a fried dove
flys into your mouth!

– And … and then?
– Oh, my goodness! Sit down!

Ow!

– Yes, what's the matter?
– That doesn't work.

– What doesn't work?
– I can't spin!

Who said anything about spinning?
Prick your finger and let me sleep!

Should I better prick my left hand or the
right one? Which one is the right one?

No, better the left one.

Ow! Ow! Ah!

Well. Make the blood drop onto the spool,
and now throw it into the fountain.

Well.

Oh, yes: Now I've to call Mother Hulda.

Mother Hulda! My spool has fallen
into the water. Give it back!

Now send the golden ladder.
Or should I perhaps jump into the water?

Get down the ladder and
you'll find your spool again!

Aha!

Indeed. That has lasted long.

Oh, that's deep.

Oh well.

Nobody's here.

Wanna know, how I should open this.

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Better not. I don't like trees.

Shake me, oh, shake me!
The appels are crushing me!

Well. One I'll pick
because I'm just hungry.

Then one less is crushing you.

Do you see it? I said it just now.

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Maybe it's cake in there!

Pull us out, pull us out!
We are burning down in the house!

Oh, only bread.

But I'm not hungry for dry bread! Better say
me, where's Hulda's house, you old oven!

So? I'm here. I wanna go into
an employment relationship too.

– Well …
– You're Mother Hulda, aren't you?

Yes, that's me. You just can start working.

– No. Now I'm too tired. First I
must sleep. – First you'll work.

You didn't shake the appels and
you didn't take the bread out of the oven.

At least do your duty now.
This clock always shows you what to do.

I know, I know that already.
Better say me where's the bed chamber.

– But you aren't going to sleep in the snow chamber? – No,
I'm going to shake the beds, so that it snows on the earth.

I can only go on employ you
if you are industrious.

You'll be absolutely content with me. I wanna get back my
spool gilt. For that I'm gonna work from early to late.

Yes, yes, I'm coming already.

Snow. So I've to return again.

Too big, too big, too big too …

What's now going on again?

– What have you done? – Nothing.

Don't lie! By nothing at all not the
windows in all the house are rattling!

You haven't opened the windows
and you've tattered the wind balloon!

Listen: This clock shows you exactly what to do. But
you must open and close the windows in the chambers.

If you are not orderly and conscientious there will
be a big thunderstorm! Now go to the rain chamber.

Go, old fishmouthes! Let it rain! There shall
be a stream to sweep away all the earth.

More, more, more!

Oh, the sun can wait. First I'd like
more doing something else.

Yes, I'll come soon, old sun!
Just once more!

If you'd stand still only one time!
Continously you must run and run!

Ow!

Point, point, comma, line;
The moon's face is finished.

Point, point, comma, line;
The moon's face is finished.

Point, point, comma, line;
The moon's face is …

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

– What's going on again?
– I fell down! Ow!

What shall this be? Can't you keep
your foolery to yourself one time?

What shall men think about such a sun?

– I'd like not badly sending you away
at once! – But no, Mother Hulda!

I need a golden spool! I'm gonna be industrious
always from now on and work until I drop!

Mary, Mary, now come!

What's the matter?

Mary! Mary!

If you don't get to work immediately,
my patience is at an end!

Snow again! The old could have said that
to me. So I've to go upstairs again!

But then she should be more than content with me! Yes,
yes, shake! You'll still see how fast I can run now!

Stop! By use of my power I command: Stop!

Immediately you'll leave my house!

Really: I'm glad to get away
from this drudgery. But my wage!

– What about my wage?
– You will get your fair wage.

– Also my spool I wanna get back!
– Even your spool you shall get.

Step under the gate to receive your wage
for your laziness and your disobedience.

Mother Hulda! Mother Hulda!

Climb up! Soon it will
get dark around my gate.

Mother Hulda! I can't get up like this!
I need my spool!

I need my spool! A golden spool!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!
Our dirty virgin is back!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!
Our dirty virgin is back!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!
Our dirty virgin is back!

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

Berta! Come, quickly! Your daughter!

– How do you look?
– What is that?

Have you ever seen anything such black?

It's pitch!

There's coming the wagon of the prince!

Come!

Take your spool with the yarn! The prince
is searching a court dress tailor!

Dear children of the country, I greet you!

And this one? … Too thin … here, Highness … too thick
unfortunately … that doesn't correspond to me …

Unfortunately, unfortunately nothing …

Unfortunately not … not again …

Unfortunately nothing,
unfortunately nothing.

What's … what's that?
Goodness, that's pitch!

Outrageous! How can you dare
even to offer me such a spool?

Excuse yourself at least!
That's an exorbitance!

Simply scandalous!

Let it be.

Show me once, my child!
Have a view on this, Chamberlain!

– Have you ever seen yarn like
this ever before? – No. Beautiful!

Wonderful!

– Yes! And the golden spool!
– Yes!

This is the most beautiful
spool I've seen here!

– But she's still too … – What?

… Little …

What? Do you want me to break my princely word?
How this glitters and sparkels like spun light!

And you'll come to my court
with me now, don't you?

Come! Or don't you wanna? No? But you
shall get my Princely Court Dress Tailor!

– I shall go away from here?
– Yes, you come to my castle with me now!

Yes, but …

Oh, yes! Your people can
go with you, of course!

Thank you, excellency,
thank you, golden Mary!

So go, move off!

– Where shall we sit?
– Where shall we sit?

Goodbye! Bye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
