Scenes
Season 1 Episode 11: The Wife Who Wouldn't Eat; The Snot-Nosed Boy; The Priest And The Boy Who Had To Pee!
The boy needs to pee but the old priest keeps coming up with reasons for why he can't pee outside (there are gods everywhere). He eventually tells him to ask some people if he can use their outhouse but when the boy sees a dog peeing on a tree, he climbs up the tree to pee from there, the wind accidentally carrying his pee to hit the priest's bald head. When the old man asks the boy why he did it, he replies that there are no gods above his head. The old man thinks about it and agrees with him, ending up laughing with the boy.
