There was one, the youngest of the farm, which was the same age as me. The need has nothing to do in the stable, who can immediately eat something, something warm. I had to wait until evening. The food was simple, very simple - but it was strong. In the morning, there have been burning soup and a jam. Day after day. And in the evening burning soup or barley soup and a jam. It was as simple the whole and four times a week dumplings. Once dumplings made of rye flour, on Tuesday and on Thursday the same thing, and on Friday there has been much schwarzplentene dumplings with bacon inside. I do not know, you know black polenta? They have had himself, herself harvested. And on Sunday, dumplings made from wheat flour, which were better after the dumplings. Very simple - and in the evening it will be so Zirggelen (Hefekrapfen) is given, topped with poppy seeds and sugar water. That was on Saturday evening. And otherwise, it was just easy. In a word: very easy, the whole life. There has been no shoe polish, as it has just drawn the whole year. As I have already said, no pants, no sweater - just one Gscholder, this is a rock. Gscholder is das. Simple is just no longer simple. But one thinks any more. One is used, and so one lives there.
