1939

Or an experience to me: In the Hopf space, Brixen Valley, the Alps, I have made in the summer Almer elevations for the Austrian Almstatistik. Because I'm gone from pasture to pasture, 1948, and since we had to take himself or bread flour. Milk and butter you have already received on the mountain, but you have to take yourself else has. The heavy backpack and paper to carry too. Yes, and I am come from a farm where I know I go to the pasture and were level when mowing. I'm through to the peasant, and thought to myself, because I wonder who will all know better, I do not need long to ask the top, and said: "Hello, I want to ask something because of the pasture." Has not he looked up, then cut and said, "I han kan nit Meanwhile," then, "I do not have time." Then I said. "This is an official order, which must be made" Did he say: "If the gentlemen from the city go first, to work with us, and then they know what it is there, then ask them do not need anyone . Send "And then I said." Yes, but if you will even have a subsidy for the pasture, must know how it is with the pasture, "he said," I still have never got, I I do not need. "Then he stood there. I knew not, to ask what I do. At the moment, the farmer's wife hung their Sense, a small barn was there, and has been cooking. Of course their grindstone, she had the reassigned, she has taken. Then I thought: "Wait," and took the scythe, the stuck is there, and I like the farmer's wife a strip, then the farmer, and the next and so on. So I have cut further into the strip from the farmer's wife. He has mowed the front and I have nachgemäht. Have we cut to the end of the parcel. Then he wordlessly, he had yet spoken a word, took my scythe, they sharpened, as you have. I can not do that because I did not have a whetstone, which was indeed the woman had moved. If he's sharpened me and told me it again into the hand, without a word. After that we went up, cut back to the beginning of this plot, and we have the next strip. So we have cut until we were ready. And then he said: ". So, and now go with us to lunch" I mean, come together to work through.
