"THE BOY "Wolf gets the bone, I get the skin; work, my whistle!"" "Grampa, what did you get?" "Well, what has Jurks got?" "A coffin." "This piece of tin?" "Nope..." "A sieve." "That's a different matter." "It may be." "A sieve?" "It may be a sieve." "And what have we got?" "Slice of bread..." "Master!" "Master, buy the horse!" "You won't regret that." "We need to sweep master's throat, don't we?" "No, no!" "Just neuter him..." "We've got another young stallion." "Neuter him!" "Neuter him!" "{..." "I have to get up early and fire already sleeps...}" "{....flame burns bright, sparks jump and crackle..." "I gaze in the fire and drown in sorrow...} ...angel...." "Gabriel...sent...by..." "God..."

"I dozed off." "{...by a reed I tied down my boat, by an oat stem I tied down my steed...}" "{...and I climbed up the hill to look for a fair-haired girl...}" "Pass me salt...and bread." "Jancis, don't stare." "Just like a pig." "Just like an animal!" "What's the problem?" "Jancis, come with us." "To the pond." "You can not?" "Hop in." "Hold on now." "Why do we need winter anyway?" "It is necessary." "Just like there is a night for each day there is a winter for every summer." "Everybody needs a resting time." "You run around during the day and you feel sleepy in the evening." "Flowers, trees bloom in summer, they provide berries and apples." "They work and they also need a resting time." "When they've had a good sleep...just look at them in spring..." "You know what?" "I'll teach you to play the piano." "Listen." "Like a duck." "Quack!" "Does he feel pain?" "May it scream if it feels pain." "Cut it out!" "Jurks, are you a beggar?" "A master, perhaps!" "If you don't have all your limbs healthy you're a beggar!" "A beggar..." "But can you hit that door from here with a knife?" "You can't do it either!" "I can do it!" "No, you can't!" "Let's bet on your hair." "Fine." "If I hit I will pull three strand of your hair." "Alright." "Put your finger here." "A spit from you, too." "Can't grab hold of it." "Wolf gets the bone, I get the skin; work, my whistle!" "Well, Jancis, you have to live without a father now." "{..." "I sang on the top of this hill...} {...so that wind would carry my voice to the household of a young man...} {...keep on singing, maiden, keep on singing modulating voice....}" "{...my nine brothers are listening to you...}" "Hey, Jancis!" "What's wrong?" "It would sting me." "Sting it right back, if the bee stings you." "Take it." "There's honey inside." "Here, suck." "I don't care about such insect vomit." "Sweet like a honey, heh?" "Boy in the bathhouse!" "Silly geese!" "As if they haven't seen a boy before." "Go, Jancis, and chase them good." "{...for a year Janis was approaching and finally arrived this night...} {...for a year Janis was approaching and finally arrived this night...}" "{..." "Good evening, Janis' mother!" "Were you expecting Janis' children?" "..." "Were you expecting Janis' children?" "My arms are tired...} {...from carrying Janis' night flowers...}" "Lo, master's Janis standing like a bunch of flowers." "{...walk Janis' day to another hill...}" "{...so that village maidens would walk me to the edge of the sea...}" "Welcome to our home!" "{greeting chatter}" "Buzz off!" "What do your clothes look like!" "Otins, catch!" "I got it." "...mrs." "Frank took the child in her room and her first care was to feed it." "Then she..." "Why are you reciting?" "Like a churchside beggar." "Otins, Otins...you'r such a big boy." "Look at me." "Want to eat berries?" "Janis, take the guest to the orchard." "Go on, go on!" "There are big black currants in that corner." "That's none of your business!" "Pull it full yourself now." "Gimme a shot!" "Just one little time." "Hear, Otins!" "That one want to shoot." "Give it to him." "Here, take a shot!" "This is my house!" "No shooting here!" "He broke my gun." "Don't you do that again!" "Keep quiet." "Come closer." "Like them, heh?" "Well." "Now the two of us are going to visit somebody." "Where to?" "Not there." "Right here." "To the masters' room?" "Come closer and greet the young master." "Look." "Step closer." "Where are his arms?" "See, what a terrible fellow that is?" "So little and his arms must already be tied otherwise he pulls hair." "Who gave him to you?" "Your grandmother." "Where did you get him?" "Where did I get him?" "Right here." "Fished him out of the pond." "Out of the water?" "Sure thing." "It's just that he was very cold and the mistress had to lie in bed to make him warm again." "Time to get up!" "Stop sleeping." "Don't say anything." "Maybe you'll see a tailed star." "People say you can see them sometimes in the morning." "It is a big big star with a long tail." "Take care of that side!" "Hold on, Jancis!" "Speed on the horse!" "The horse should go round all the time." "Hey, stop sleeping!" "Whip it!" "Why are both of you sleeping!" "Oh, devil!" "Do you want to fall ill?" "Wake up!" "Jancis, wake up!" "You'll see the tailed star..." "Wake up already." "Wake up." "Get up!" "Don't fall asleep, Jancis." "Where has that tailed star gone?" "Where has that tailed star gone?" "Grandma..." "How should I know!" "Oh, my boys..." "Go on, eat!" "So that nobody would say the mistress is scrimpy." "Give them something to eat." "Well, may Jurks rest in peace." "What is man?" "One moment he's alive, next moment he's been put in a hole." "It was a good thing after all." "He got a bottle of gin." "{..." "I was a drunkard man, I was walking slow and contemplating...} {...where should you bury me when I die...} {...bury me in a pub under the table...} {...so that I could see what people did, so that I could hear what people spoke...}" "{...whether they drank beer and flirted with girls...}" "Good boy!" "You're by good dog!" "Good dog!" "Come here, boy." "My doggie..." "Drive that damn dog home!" "What's wrong?" "Chase that dog away already!" "Chase it back home!" "Where's your home?" "Where's your home?" "I'll teach you..." "Well...animal has just as hard time parting as man has."
