“That is one of your very best stories,” said the starosta. “How it does bring back old times! While I was listening I could hardly believe that this big man here by the stove is I. It seemed rather as if I must be the little boy yonder.”
“Did grandmother tell these same stories to you when you were little, father?” asked the little boy.
“Many and many a time. And I’ll warrant she has as many more to tell you as those you have heard already. But it is late, and we have not had much sleep these last few nights. So every one to bed, and don’t forget to thank God for a happy wedding and a good son and brother-in-law.”
