00:00This house is located on Madison Street in New York.
00:06This house used to receive a lot of messages.
00:10One day, this message arrived.
00:15This house is located on Madison Street in New York.
00:20This house used to receive a lot of messages.
00:26Good morning, sir.
00:29This message arrived from Ms. Jerosha in Mr. John Smith's name.
00:34Jerosha? Who is she? I don't know her.
00:37Sir, you pay a lot of money for this girl to go to college.
00:41How can you not know her?
00:43I pay a lot of money for many schools for children.
00:47I heard that this girl is from John Grier's orphanage,
00:50which is located on Madison Street in New York.
00:54How can you not know her?
00:57Oh, John Grier's orphanage.
00:59Yes, I remember.
01:00Orphans live there.
01:02I never met this girl.
01:04But yes, her orphanage was very interesting.
01:08Give me the message.
01:11Dear Hanon, who sends orphans to school.
01:15I have only written a few letters in my life
01:19because I don't know anyone to write to.
01:22Yes, I am an abandoned orphan.
01:26Also, I don't like the name Jerosha Abbott
01:30because the director, Mrs. Libet,
01:33chose Jerosha to be my name.
01:37Mrs. Libet chose Jerosha
01:40as the grave witness behind the orphanage.
01:43She even took my last name, Abbott,
01:46from the first page of the phone evidence.
01:49That's not a suitable way to name a child.
01:53Isn't that so?
01:55What do you think?
01:57But that doesn't mean I'm not a suitable girl.
02:01This is when I was five years old.
02:04My dear, let me show you my picture.
02:08This picture is from when I was 12 years old,
02:12when I was in high school.
02:15Where am I?
02:17Oh, here I am.
02:19They're all random pictures, aren't they?
02:22If I knew this was going to happen,
02:25I would have kept some of them.
02:28But it did happen, and it seems like a dream.
02:32Today is Wednesday.
02:35I thought it would be another gloomy Wednesday.
02:39And the reason for that is loneliness, my dear.
02:43Soon, all the children will wake up,
02:47and a new day will begin.
02:53Oh, I forgot.
02:55Oh, it's Wednesday.
02:57It really is Wednesday.
03:01Come on, children.
03:03Let's go.
03:07Oh, I'm so lonely.
03:11The first day of Wednesday was the day
03:14the members of the board visited.
03:16Today, all the advisors who support the shelter will come.
03:20You must be polite.
03:23Every floor must be clean.
03:26You must keep your secrets.
03:29Everything must be clean.
03:32Girosha, you're in charge of them.
03:35But...
03:37Yes?
03:38I have an exam.
03:40What's more important to you, the school or the shelter?
03:44Stay out of the school, understand?
03:47Yes, ma'am.
03:49Yay!
03:57It was a hard day.
03:59I wanted to forget it quickly, but...
04:03The important advisors went around searching,
04:07and there were tense moments.
04:12I won't be able to face the advisors directly
04:16because I'm afraid of their complaints.
04:18I'm afraid.
04:19Good, good.
04:20You're protecting the place.
04:24Finally, the end of Wednesday was near.
04:28The children are having dinner in the dining room.
04:32Girosha, nicknamed Judy, woke up at 5.30 in the morning
04:37and worked all day.
04:39She couldn't eat anything.
04:42That's life.
04:44I've been hungry for 17 years.
04:47Outside the gate, the advisors' cars leave the shelter.
04:52She wished she could ride a luxury car
04:55and wear a fur coat and a wool hat.
05:01Where are you going, my dear?
05:03Home.
05:04Okay, my dear.
05:13Judy dreamed of owning a luxurious house,
05:16more beautiful than any other.
05:22Thank you very much.
05:33But her dream was limited.
05:36She never entered a house other than the shelter.
05:39It's hard to imagine what a regular house looks like from the inside.
05:49Judy, the manager wants to see you.
05:52The manager? Why?
05:54I don't know. Maybe because of the construction.
05:57Construction? Oh, my God.
06:00She knew what she wanted.
06:02She asked her to write anything she wanted.
06:06But Judy wrote some bad things about the shelter.
06:10And when the stairs came down...
06:27Judy saw the man from behind.
06:30Oh, his long legs!
06:32This little incident made her happy.
06:35Because the shape of the shelter's orphans was strange.
06:38And she was surprised that one of them had long legs like this man.
06:49This man's appearance made Judy curious.
06:52Come in.
06:58Come on, sit down, Judy. Come in.
07:02Did you see the man who just left?
07:05Yes.
07:07He is the richest man in the board of directors.
07:10And he sent many of our students to the university.
07:13Yes.
07:15And now he wants to send you to the university.
07:18What?
07:19Are you going to the university?
07:21The university?
07:23He was affected by the construction.
07:25And he thinks you're talented.
07:27And he wants you to become a writer.
07:29A writer?
07:31That's what he said.
07:33And he confirmed it a while ago.
07:35I'm a writer?
07:37Yes.
07:39I don't know what he liked about your idea.
07:41I don't know.
07:43You're really an annoying girl.
07:45But can I ask you about his name?
07:47Actually, I can't tell you.
07:50But you have to write one letter every month.
07:55His name is John Smith.
07:58Of course, John Smith is not his real name.
08:01And he doesn't answer your letters.
08:03That's the only thing you need.
08:10And now, I'm writing this letter to you.
08:13On the train, on my way to the university.
08:16Okay, sir.
08:18I don't think a name like John Smith
08:21suits the man who gave me the chance to get away from the club.
08:26I'd like to call you by another name.
08:29There are only two things I know about you.
08:32I know that you're very rich and very tall.
08:36If I call you the rich man,
08:39it will be an insult to you.
08:41Because that could mean that you're only interested in money.
08:46That's why I decided to call you the tall man.
08:53Your back is still in my mind.
08:55The rich man is the tall man.
08:58It's just a name between you and me.
09:01I hope you don't mind.
09:15Finally, I arrived at the university.
09:26This is my university.
09:28I wonder if you can hear my heartbeat.
09:32For me, the university is like a new world.
09:37Because I only know the resort.
09:42What could be there?
09:45Come on, you're supposed to like adventures.
09:48Come on!
09:50Yes, I'm going to tell you.
09:54Yes.
09:55And that's how my university life began.
