'I must wait till the spring, he thought; 'after all, there are Maciek and Burek, they are sharp enough. Burek confirmed this opinion by much howling. One very dark night, when sleet was falling, Maciek heard him barking more furiously than usual, and attacking some one in the direction of the ravines. He jumped up and waked Slimak; armed with hatchets they waited in the yard.
'It's all the fault of those scoundrel Swabians that everything is going wrong with me, he muttered, and began to count his losses on the window-pane: 'Stasiek, that's one, the cow two, the horses four, because the thieves did that out of spite for the hog, Burek five, Jendrek six, Maciek and the child eight, and Magda had to leave, and my wife is ill with worry, that makes ten. Lord Christ...!
They put down straw in the room, but neither of them could sleep; Burek howled all night, Magda was feverish; Jendrek continually raised himself from the straw, for he fancied his brother had moved. But Stasiek did not move. In the morning Slimak made a little coffin; carpentering came so easily to him that he could not help smiling contentedly at his own work now and then.
