Something occurs to me yet. The farms down there so have all the bells. It is this bell tower on the house above. Is not just decoration. The bell has a cord that leads to the front door. And that was before the dinner bell. If people were on the field, and had made the woman finished, she rang the bell and then all come. And of course everyone has had a different bell. Because the people who knew exactly each bell is rung at whom now. And that was also broken out as an alarm bell in case a thief in the house, or a fire, one has rung this bell tower. And I once said at a lecture, it is so sad, today is not because these people on the field when the tractor out there, they hear not, if there was a bell is rung. And then I just said, it's a shame that people are listening any more. If a farmer's wife said: "I need them even more if the foreigners are to come for breakfast, then I ring the bell."
