13) The daughter, at the mayor’s house,
explains the situation. Reluctantly, the mayor
sends his policeman to throw the drunks out.
14) The policeman
knocks on the door.
He shouts. “I have
come to bring law
and order into this
house.”
15) The drunks jokingly
ask him, “What’s your
order, beer or
whiskey?” Since
they are all old
friends, the
policeman joins
in the drinking.
16) In despair. Grandmother sends the girl
back to the mayor to report that the policeman
is drinking with the other men. The girl insists
that the mayor himself go to throw out the
drunks.
17) The mayor admits, “The same thing
always happens when I send the policeman.
But since the county chief appoints only his
relatives to police jobs, nothing can be done
about it” So the mayor himself goes and
knocks on the door. Grandmother explains the
situation to him.
