Ah, why did she always sleep just when he came? She had spoken already to Petrik, and gave him a box full of candy. How much he had prayed already, especially that morning, that she might not be asleep again when he went there, that he also might welcome her to those woods and mountains.
'Not far from here lives the forester; I will run for him and he will help you. I ran as fast as I could but not to the forester's house. "'Petrik, do not leave me. I am afraid, called Stephen after me, and right after that followed a cry: "'Mother mine!
"Palko Lesina. The other boy is Petrik Filina, and the third one is Ondrejko de Gemer." "What is his name?" asked the lady, startled. "De Gemer. The sheepfolds belong to his father. The doctor sent Ondrejko to Bacha Filina because he was weak. Here he thrives well. From the time that he has lived as we live and not like a gentleman, he has been getting well and strong.
"Are you already here, my children?" asked the nurse; "and what have you brought?" "Bread and salt, as you have asked. The whey is in the crock. The milk we brought for you, because you are not sick," explained Petrik. Ondrejko added, "It may be that your lady will not want to drink the whey today, and that you will make coffee instead, for yourself."
Ondrejko carried his bouquet before him with both hands, so that he could hardly see the path in front. Petrik carried his bouquet over his shoulder. He was the first to notice that the door was open and smoke was coming from the chimney. The next moment an elderly lady with a black dress and white cap stepped into the doorway.
She was small in stature, but every movement reminded one of a princess. "Why did not Petrik or Palko bring this whey?" she asked, to start a conversation with Ondrejko. "We change about," said he. "Change about? But I have never seen you before." "I have carried the whey already three times, but you have always been asleep," said Ondrejko. "So, I have always been asleep during your visits?
Bacha took Ondrejko by the hand and giving his book to Petrik they walked through the woods toward home. High above them in the clearing sounded the bells of the flock, and off and on the impatient barking of Whitie and Playwell, and in between sounded the trumpet of the youngest herdsman, Stephen. He played with such an ardor that it seemed the notes were running over;
Ondrejko told Palko, "because a letter came at last from my grandmother in America. They gave me a letter written especially for me, in which grandmother writes very nicely. I will show it to you afterwards, Petrik." "They even sent greetings for me," said the comrade. "What they wrote to mother, I don't know, but mother ran to grandfather, threw herself into his arms and cried and laughed.
I am called Palko, though they once baptized me in the name of Nicholas. But this is a long story." "My name is Petrik, and he is called Ondrejko. At home they call him Andreas de Gemer in the Magyar tongue, but Bacha Filina says, 'Why should we break our tongues with foreign names? Anyhow, Ondrejko is much nicer," zealously spoke Petrik. "That is a nice name.
Palko washed the dishes, Petrik dried them; they put everything away, and disappeared as quietly as they could. Seven days passed. How short! but sometimes how long seven days may be! How much one can live through, experience, and suffer! Time passes; you awaken, wipe your eyes, and wonder if it is true that it has passed already.
