Stick out your tongue and close your eyes. One moment, everyone,

no one talks, no one talks. Close your eyes.

I want to… If she pulls back from the fire, then she’s a liar,

plain and simple.— So will it burn me?— No.

No, it’ll burn you if she’s lying. Don’t be scared. Come on. Your hand like this,

stick out your tongue, come on. Okay. Don’t be scared, girl.

You’re brave. Water, come on.

Don’t be scared, you won’t get burned.

Put it on, put it on again. Put it on again.

Brave girl. Well done. You… brave girl, you… Don’t be scared,

nothing will happen to you. Rinse your mouth.

Nothing will happen to you.

Anyone have a tissue? Do you have a tissue?— No.

Do you have one, Mama?

Don’t talk, rinse your mouth and spit, let me see your tongue.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Show it.

In the name of God. Stick your tongue out. Stick it out.
