It was - yes, and then, after the war, as I have come to Innsbruck for the first time and I saw those destroyed building that has really impressed me. And the great shame. a great shame that I have written down. You have to own at worst suspicious. I've since written a saying, that "trust me" - but my mother was poor, I was up there three teeth and one was twisted and I had to Innsbruck. If the poor mother have to go with me and has always had no money. The tooth directed. And then I saw in a shop window, a crossbow and crossbow have seen this and that would have been just everything. Because I was always out in the woods. Ah, I've already seen - and the mom - expressed old expression: tribuliert - tribuliert, tormented, they should buy me this crossbow. Had as a penny more in the bag. And later I'm on it came, oh dear arms. Or the little green watering can. My father - I got a piece of garden allocated. And since I planted my things and was able to manage themselves. And my father was very skillful. Has knife handles, HJ saber he has - I'm still on the mountain meadow? of course he has a grip, the treacherous, wegtan and has a wooden handle turn made. And he gave me a tin-in post-war his father once said, I still hear, "Well, Tiama heint into a can off Vegetables" Vegetables. Or corned beef. I have known since learned that canned food. And he gave me a small bucket. With handles and all. Best for casting. And then I just had to have a watering can. And one day my father has brought a green watering can. And since I've noticed the price. And later I came out that the father of this thing, and sloppy soldered together has dipped in green paint two days' work in the factory must. There's come up me as a young man: "There is something wrong!" Something is wrong. Since my father is being exploited. So not in the diction, but somehow because my critical - that was a fundamental experience for my socially critical thinking, observation and behavior. They are such tiny things. Everyone has those is clear.
