And then, as a small boy said - like, I also have had air rifles, with which I can have target practice at about eight feet, with bolts, not with bullets but with bolts. And then we ourselves have made the bow and arrow, a hazel stick, curved cut a cord stretched and an arrow. They are so, I know, 20, flew 30 meters. This was a boys business, ie boys entertainment. And then, something I did not forget. Out of a neighbor - in the same house, .. have on the Hinterseitn the usual - has had a Jagdgwehr and always went out, shoot crows - .. And the eagle owl has a dabeigehabt, an owl with two strings to pull. He has moved his head and moves its wings. And of course there are the crows come and he has again scored the Ravens. And since he is because once .. a few hundred meters wide at the edge of the forest, he shot a crow, it has not found. Who had hid themselves. And as he is to come, - we were so ten, twelve year old - yes, the outside is a raven and who has somewhere hiding. Because we are beyond the arrow cans there and found the raven, and then we invaded, not our three boys. Then a young woman comes from the neighborhood, from the first house, from the first farm house behind the chapel, which comes to meet us. As she says: "Yes, you have the shot?" We use the arrow cans! "Of course we shot him." We ahben had an enormous pride and so on, although it has indeed geschossn of hunters and such. But we just have not wooed that meant we would have shot him. The boys were just our conversations. - - -
