And a classmate of mine who had nothing but A's. His father was a High Court Judge, Privy Councillor, his mother a teacher, he was the only child. Who can live so well. A balcony, say almost as wide as the room and the length so, a glass balcony, which was his area. A separate room anyway. If he has tinkered, they were all finished toys. Let's say Matador - if you know this - these wooden kits. I also got one once, a box as big as this box of chocolates. That was my whole Matador. Since you can not build much with it. But he had all the numbers, there was. Sometimes twice. He has such great ships built on his own plans and so on. Then Märklin has arisen, these metal construction sets, he got everything immediately. Then came the shooting. Now he had a camera, developed itself, and so on. Darkroom. Then, when we were still boys, the scooter: wooden wheels, pushed with one foot. Does he now have one. And then, after a year or two years, the large rubber wheels on it - he had immediately. And just as always rode around the winner. I have the pieces - if we made fliers, heruntergeschnitzt from a tree trunk or from the firewood. And carved clean, wood chips themselves made, and so on. He's just purchased ready. Was always superior. Then, the skiing has emerged, back in Innsbruck, still primitive with ordinary mountain boots. The jaws forward zusammengeklopft only in that a Bissel ... Since it's in there herumgewackelt course. The bonds were quite primitive. And short pants. So we are just gone. And he immediately had a real stretch ski pants ski suit with. And right ski boots, which fit exactly to good ties then. He's just always been the superior. And then he got a bike, same. Since then I've also thought - yes, that's why I have told yes. Since we are both each other from school and then to the Lord High Court Judge, Privy Councillor, doctor and so on, gone. And the father has just pulled the testimony, pretty good wallet out and gave him 100 shillings. "Good boy was." This is a boost. And how was it for me? I came with two Zweiern and said: "I am the second best in the class." "Why do not you first? I'm not happy with you. "Since the mother was so strict. And from the moment I have lost the joy of studying. I have studied no more.
