1932

We were three boys there, ten, twelve, thirteen. We had a rabbit breeding. Rabbits, plenty. A farmer in Prissian, the butcher's son there and the Konrad. I have had perhaps a hundred rabbits, Kinihasen. In Nals below, because we - in Tisens still had no Carabinieri, no police and no forestry command. And as I have always tried whether the rabbits do not like meat. Do you understand? And as we have delivered a lot of rabbits. My brother, the eldest, was not a hunter. And she has .. beautifully drawn, beautifully dressed and prepared. We then every Thursday afternoon with four, five rabbits gone Nals to the Carabinieri and Forestry command, as we have received money. On Sunday after church, which was formerly Sun On Sunday, two clock afternoon was a - .. not a church but a complete rosary prayer. As the farmers have gone to church. And then they come up there, over there at our house was such a box, bench outside. As the farmers have sat down. And there are seven, eight were men, and one says to the other "Yes, we do not go to the inn a card game?" - "Naa, heint - well, heint giahma nit oi, na, unit," the other replied: "Yes, today, know today - no, not today, we go to make a deck of cards." And the boy - I was - listened to the top in the kitchen with the window clips. As my father says: "If Konradl is there, then he lent us five lire, that we can make a game go down." With twelve years! 1932! Imagine that! I have - with the rabbits I've had the money. And we have always shared a brother, three of us. One of Prissian - both of whom are long dead already - not both colleagues. .. And my brother gave us nice and cleaned off and made spotless. Again we are three Nals gone to the police and the Forestry command with the rabbits for money - as much as I can not remember. Still, there are always a few lire was. Because otherwise there was no money. There was no money.
