Fiddler on the Roof

There was a song about how everyone in the village works and how life is lived in that village.
The oldest daughter doesn't want the match maker to pick who she marry's and she doesn't want to get married since she is not even 20 years old. The two younger sisters are very eager to get married while the oldest is dreading it. The girls come from a poor family and probably shouldn't be picky about who they get matched with.
Tevye is in the born tending to the horse when he starts talking to god about how he made a lot of poor people and asks what would it hurt if he made more rich people. He then starts singing about what he would do if he was a rich man. Now hes going into town carrying his cart without his horse. While in town, they see a ad paper about how the Jews were forced out of there houses somewhere else. Then a young man comes into town. He is educated and then Tevye decides that the young man can stay with them for the Sabbath because he can teach his 5 girls in trade of food.
Tzeitel pulled Motel aside to tell him that he should ask her dad for permission to marry her. Motel gets nervous and doesn't ask him when he gets his attention. They celebrate Sabbath then Tevye goes to Lazar to talk. Lazar asks for his daughters hand in marraige and Tevye agrees to it. Now they are celebrating about her being his bride to be.
The next day, the girls are getting lessons by the young man when the mother comes and says its time to work. All of the girls go to work while Hodel stays behind and dances with Perchik. When Tevye tells Tzeitel that Lazar is wanting to get married and she is not excited nor is Perchik. He thinks it is wrong that she is forced to marry him. Tzeitel tells her father that she doesn't want to marry him and he says that he wont force her to do that. While walking off, Motel runs up and tells Tevye that he wants to marry Tzeitel and he thinks its crazy. Motel then accidently tells him that him and Tzeitel made a pledge to marry each other over a year ago. Tevye then decides to let him marry her.
Chava was walking on the roade when some boys came up and started pestering her when Fyedka comes out of no where and runs them off.
