Prabhupada: Mosquito?

Devotee (1): Yes.

Prabhupada: Oh. (laughter) Many, many? Without mosquito curtain you cannot sleep.

Devotee (1): No, we can sleep. At Advaita Bhavan there’s a fair amount of mosquitos at night, but there’s not so many that you can’t sleep without a mosquito coil burning.

Prabhupada: That’s all right. [break]

Devotee (2): The rats in Hawaii are not so big as the rats here. They’re only about this big, the body.

Prabhupada: Every house there is rats?

Devotee (2): Not every house, no.

Prabhupada: At least Advaita Bhavan has got.

Devotee (2): They were some but they cleaned them out. They got rid of them. I’m not sure rats actually are poisoned.

Devotee (3): (unintelligible)

Devotee (2): We were getting a cow but we joined ISKCON just before we got the

Prabhupada: Sixteen quarts?

Prabhupada: There must be grazing ground for cows. Then there is no problem.

Devotee (2): There was a grazing ground. The lawn must grow.

Prabhupada: What is that? Are they cutting? These are not important thing. (end)
