Weil das ganze Dorf außer den Baleks arm ist, arbeitet jeder in der Fabrik der Familie Baleks.
Da di Waage der Balkes nicht richtig wiegt, wurden die Leuter ärmer und dir Baleks reicher.
Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß die Baleks Betrüger sinde, zieht die Familie weg.
Wenn die Kinder mit ihren vollen Körben aus dem Wald kommen, müssen sie in dem kleinen Raum neben der Milchküche gehen und ihre Körbe wiegen lassen.
