I've only become more thick, and my neighbors' wives, who said: "Well Moidele, you must like to eat lemons, you're so thick, you will indeed so fat, eat lemons." I can well remember the women who have advised me that. I ate lemons, but that did not help anything. The pounds have stayed, and in due time they came into the world. After you have to imagine, after this I am just because people were talking about me, go to a midwife. I went to any doctor, for God's sake, yes I also had no money, nothing. I am the midwife more often encountered at the church path. And then this midwife, Mrs. Brunner has bade Ms. Brunner, a good midwife, but she was a little something sharp, but otherwise a very good midwife. Then, once said on the church path to me, "Moidele, people do talk that way about you, you are fat, so do come and see me in the apartment, I'll look after something." Well, 'I thought, what will that do to me? No, for God's sake, I dare not. I am but then again in the dark of night out. That was a few hundred meters away from me, then the examining me, the midwife. And then this midwife has said: "Moidele, you get a child, you're pregnant." try to deny Well, I hab'alles so scary, I must tell you. Scary stupid I was, I am ashamed today to say I was stupid. We were all so stupid because we have dared to speak with his father and mother anything. And like the first one came into the world, as the first child was there, I know today, has beaten the midwife's hands: "For God's sake Moidele, comes another one!"
