How old are you? Where are you from? – I don't know.
Why did you dig that burrow? – I don't know.
How long have you been hiding? – I don't know.
Why did you bite my finger? – I don't know.
Don't you know that we won't hurt you? – I don't know.
Whose side are you on? – I don't know.
This is war, you've got to choose. – I don't know.
Does your village still exist? – I don't know.
Are those your children? – Yes.
