+    iniisip!... May sakit kaya?
+
+Art.     (Mula sa kanyang hihigan. Uubo, at pagkatapos ay magtuturing.)
+    Bathala!... Lahat na po n~g hirap ay ibagsak na sa akin, n~guni't
+    ipagkaloob mo po lamang na magpatuloy sa pagbuti ang puso at
+    kalooban n~g aking si Esperanza!... (Hihintong sumandali.) Di po

+    siya....
+
+    Ay ...!!!
+
+Esp. (Papasok.) Bakit, aking Artemio, may sakit ka bang dinaramdam?
+
+Art. Wala, aking mahal na asawa.
+
+Esp. (Kulang nang paniwala.) Wala? Nagkakaila ka sa akin.
+
+Art. (Pan~giti.) Maniwala ka aking Esperanza sa katatapos na isinagot.
+
+Esp.     Huwag mong ipilit Artemio ang pagkakailá n~g iyong dinaramdam sa
+    katawan. Talos ko, aking mahal na Artemio na tatlong araw na
+    n~gayong hindi ko man halos makakain. ¿Alin ang sanhî n~g
+    gayon?... (Pasumala) Marahil ay hindi ko nararapat na malaman, at
+    dahil dito'y hindi naman akó nagpupumilit na manawa ang gayon.
+
+Art.     Huwag, huwag kang magturing n~g ganyan. Esperanza pagka't ang
+    sarili mo ang siya ring sinusugatan: Tunay n~gang may kaunti akong
+    dinaramdam, n~guni't wala namang gaanong kabigatan.

+Esp. Kung gayon, ay hayo, turan mo sana sa akin ang iyong damdamin.

+Art.     Tunay n~gang may m~ga tatatlong araw na n~gayon na laging
+    sumisikip ang aking dibdib.
+
+Esp. Gayon pala, ay ¿bakit hindi mo nasabi sa akin?
+
+Art. Mangyari, ay walang kabigatan.
+
+Esp.     Marahil n~ga'y tunay ang iyong sapantaha, n~guni't kailan~gan din
+    yata na ikaw ay makita n~g m~ga gamot.
+
+Art. Huwag na.
+
+Esp.     Hindi. N~gayon din ay tatawag ako n~g isang manggagamot at n~g
+    makilala ang sanhi n~g iyong dinaramdam. (Anyong aalis.
+    Sasansalain ni Artemio.)
+
+Art. Bayaan mo na, at ito'y walang anoman. Kabigatan.
+
+Esp.     Hindi, hindi ko matitiis na makikita kang may karamdaman at hindi
+    ikita n~g lunas ang gayon.
+
+Art.     Kung mapili ka sa iyong nasa, ay bayaan mo n~g ako ang siyang
+    tumun~go roon. Arimuhanan din ang mabawas sa dalawang piso na
+    ating ibabayad sa Mangagamot, kung siya pa ang paririto.
+
+Esp. Huwag na, at baka ka pa abutan sa iyong pagtun~go doon.
+
+Art.     Hindi, huwag kang mag-ala-ala. Sa awa ni Bathala, ang dati kong
+    lakas ay hindi pa din nagbabawa, ni hindi humihiwalay sa akin.

+
+Esp.     Alang-alang sa Diyos, huwag ninyong bigyan n~g kauntulan ang isang

+
+Ram.     (Pakutya) ¿Nagiisip ka n~g bumuti? Loka ka n~ga yata. Ang lalong

+
+Esp.     Ah, hindi, hindi na. Talastasin ninyo na ang Esperanzang ibinulid
+    ninyo sa kasamaan, ay hindi na siya ang kausap sa m~ga sandaling
+    ito.
+
+Ram.     (Patuya). Loka ka n~ga palang tao. Dapat mong talastasin na ang

+Esp.     (Boong puso.) ¡Ah!... sukat na ang pagulit n~g ganyang pananalita.

+
+Ram.     (Pakutya, pagkatapos na tignang mabuti ang ayos n~g bahay.) ¡Ha!

+Raf. ¿May sakit? ¿Mabigat bagá?
+
+Esp.     Hindi, ayon sa sabi niya sa akin, n~guni't sa palagay ko ay hindi

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.

+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
