"For you," Petrik added, "there is also butter and cheese. Palko is able to do this because some day all this around here will be his." The boys were surprised when the eyes of the nurse suddenly filled with tears. She wiped them off and kissed the small messengers. "You are right, Ondrejko, today I will fix coffee, and you all will take breakfast with me.
After all, he had lived to see his brother, Stephen. The Lord Jesus had given him back to Bacha. There was something more, very good for Palko. He could himself sit down at the feet of Uncle Stephen, whom he loved greatly, and listen to the truth of God from his lips. That was a joy for the boy. Ondrejko rejoiced again that Bacha Filina belonged to his family and Petrik also.
In front of the sheepcotes everything was ready for a big bonfire. Bacha Filina called all his helpers and told them they would have a celebration such as none of them had seen before. Through the woods in the direction of the cottage wandered Petrik, Ondrejko, and between them, Palko. Ahead of them, chasing one another, ran Dunaj and Fido. They also rejoiced to see each other.
It seems to me I recognized her, but she didn't know me," sadly sighed the boy, and his eyes filled with tears. "But how could she have recognized you in those farmer's clothes? We too, Petrik and I, hardly recognized you." "Do you think so?" Ondrejko calmed down. "Palko, take me to her; she doesn't know that I am her Andreas. She doesn't know me." "She knows already. Uncle Filina was there.
He wanted to find a cottage near the hut where he could place one of his patients for a week, whom only quietness and air and sun could heal. "Palko, do you hear?" whispered Petrik, but so loud that all could hear him. "That cottage of yours is empty, your father will not come for six weeks, and you could live here with us; that would be a good place for the lady."
I am sure they did not want me to understand, because they spoke English, but they will tell us all about it. Bacha Filina said we shall have a celebration." "We also have a song, such a beautiful one, and that will be sung tonight, and I am sure your parents will like it," said Petrik. It really was a beautiful celebration. First of all, on two spits they roasted two lambs.
For a long time, lying on the hay, they spoke together about Stephen, how he jumped over the bunches of grass, how the rock turned under him, how he fell, and how Whitie saved him. "I am very sorry for Bacha Filina," said Ondrejko. "I can never forget it. It must pain him could it be that God is still angry with him?" "But where is this Stephen?" worried Petrik.
Then Petrik noticed the guest; both the boys ran to welcome him and each one wanted to be the first to tell him who Palko was and what he was doing among them. The Doctor liked Palko, like everyone else who came in contact with him. Then the boys found out why the doctor had come that day.
Finally, he came to the castle of Lord Gemer, and from there the doctor sent him to the mountains because he was like a candle that was ready to go out. About his father he knew only that he was somewhere far away, and had already a second wife and two boys. It seemed to him he was as much of an orphan as Petrik.
In the whole wide world there were no comrades who loved each other better than Petrik, Ondrejko, and Fido. All three were orphans and had had a hard time in the world thus far. Both parents of Petrik had died of a malignant fever.
