FROM HE EDITOR'S DESK

A MOTHER'S DAY What shall I do with the gift of a day?

Hoard it, or spend it the usual way?

Cooking and planning the family fare With seldon an hour for pleasure to spare.

Sweeping and dusting and pausing to sew; Stooping to bind up a wee injured toe; Patiently listening to prayers that arc said; Tucking each child with a kiss into bed.

Day that comes singing on dawn's dewy wings, Recklessly spent on such trivial things; Begging for time then day's minutes are gone.

But deep in my heart the notes of a song.

So come, let me spend the gift of a day In doing small tasks in a beautiful way.

Your editor's memory turns back to the year of 1952 and the convention of our Society in Houston when our districts were, created, with no provision for their existence, financially. Each district had to seek a means of helping their continued existence. Some resorted, to collecting dues from their member lodges, which they do to this date, according to the number of members in their lodge.

In the convention in Temple, in 1956, the districts finally received some relief and help, financially, from the Supreme Lodge according to the mandate of the convention delegates, and we can see by the progress made

DR. EDWARD J. CERVENKA Member of Lodge No. 66, Waco BILINGUAL EDUCATION TRAINING IS PLANNED

BY ANNE DODSON A blueprint for an institute to train teachers in bilingual early education is taking shape this year under the direction of Dr. Edward J. Cervenka of New York City.

Cervenka, assistant professor of linguistics and education at Teachers College, Columbia University, was hired last fall by the Coastal Bend Christian Service Association as director of the proposed Dos Mundos Teacher Training Institute.

The association is an ecumenical venture formed by Presbyterians, Methedists, Catholics and Episcopalians.

It received a $20,000 grant from the Tinker Foundation of New York City to finance a year of planning and development for the institute.

Dos Mundos Early School was orga-

4 nized three years ago. The bilingual program for pre-school children is conducted at three locations with 155 children attending.

Assistant James Larick, director of Dos Minidos, is assistant director to Cervenka for the Dos Mundos Teacher Training Institute.

"My job this year is to plan and develop a blueprint for the institute," Cervenka said. "This includes designing a curriculum for the program, seeking some affiliation or association with universities or colleges and helping obtain actual funding for the institute."

Cervenka, a native of George West and a graduate of the University of Texas, commutes between Corpus Christi and New York City. He will end a four-day visit tomorrow and will return in June to spend much of the summer here.

"I have been conducting research into the existing programs for training teachers and aides in bilingual early education," Cervenka said, "There are about 30 or 40 bilingual programs in the country, though not limited to English-Spanish."

Universities which train teachers in this field are few and far between — the University of New Mexico, New York State University and Our Lady of the Lake.

Cervenka sees the Dos Mundos Institute as developing in three phases.

Small Program "We plan to have a small program at first," he said. "This would involve perhaps 30 students who either have their degrees or who lack a year of getting them. By attending Dos Mundos Institute, they would either complete their BA requirements or be well on their way to a master's degree.

"Eventually, we hope to have three years of training provided. This would be the junior and senior year and a year of graduate study."

The final phase of the development of the institute would also see preparation of teachers of bilingual programs not only in early education but also at the elementary school level.

If the bilingual education bills in Legislature are funded, there will be a great need for bilingual teachers trained in the early education field.

Bilingualism has varying goals.

"Some would consider any knowledge of second language, however slight, as satisfactory," Cervenka said. "Our goal is 'coordinate' bilingualism, equal pro-

YESTNfIC ficiency in both languages.'

Cervenka conducted an evaluation study of bilingual programs in Texas and came to this conclusion: "When you add a second language of instruction to a school, this has no detrimental effect on the children's knowledge of English. For the Mexican-American children, there are a number of benefits, including an improved general attitude toward school.

"And these were all programs which were just beginning; think when they have been in operation longer, they will achieve much, much more."

Cervenka said that between 1920 and 1950 there were studies which came to the conclusion that bilingualism had undesirable effects.

"Since then, however, there have been studies which were much better clone, with higher control, which have shown just the opposite. One study took monolingual and bilingual children which were the same in every aspect, except for their languages, and the results put the bilingual children ahead in intelligence, both verbal and non-verbal, and in better attitudes toward different social groups."

September, 1972, is the target date for opening Dos Mundos Institute. Funding is expected to come from a variety of sources, Cervenka said, including state and federal governments and pri vate foundations, large and small.

ASsemblying a faculty will not be easy since "not; many people are trained in bilingual early education," he said.

'There are no experts in this new field."

The institute will have a small permanent staff and will draw upon faculties of other universities for other part-time staff members.

Cervenka said ,geveral universities had expreSsed an interest in being associated with the institute.

"Finding a place for the institute is a problem we're facing right now," Cervenka said.

Doctorate The professor received his under graduate degree from the University of Texas, where he received his doctorate in linguistics in 1969.

He served as a research associate and study director with the Child Development and Research Center at the University of Texas in 1966-67 and then became director of communication studies at the center before joining the Columbia University faculty.

Linguistics is the scientific study of

Wednesday, May 5, 1971 language and has been viewed "as cultural anthropology on one hand and as a branch of psychology on the other," he said.

Cervenka was a Fulbright lecturer at La. Pontificia Universidad javeriana in Bogota, Colombia, in 1962 63 and spent several slimmers teaching .English as a foreign language in Peace Corps Training Projects for India. and Iran.

He is the author of textbooks on English for Spanish-speaking people; and has created tests of basic language competence. in English and Spanish.

He was co-author of "Itmul-book of Gesture; Colombia, and the United States.," (Above clipping from Corpus Christi Times dated Friday, April 23, 1971, sent, in by Brother Juhn asa, Secretary of Lodge No, 56, Corpus Chrilti, Editor). stei srrn '12

Dear Members, The members of Lodge No. 88 were shocked and saddened to hear of the untimely death of one of Our trustees, Brother J. D.

J. D. was vice president of Johnson Supply Company, a large company here in Houston. He led a very active life, working hard for his company and for our lodge.

LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS SFJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dear Brothers and Sisters, We finally opened season play in the Dallas Softball Managers' Association Tuesday night, April 27.

Brother Lionel Schultz, our pitcher, hurled a very good game allowing 3 hits, 3 walks and struck out 9 batters.

Brother Harry Wilkerson, our new 'catcher turned in an outstanding performance behind home plate.

Leading hitters were Lawrence Honza with 2 singles, Lionel Schultz with 2 singles, Connie Brennan with a single and a base-on-balls, Albin (Bino) Vrana and Harry Wilkerson had a single each, Jack Scott had 2 bases-onballs, and Sonny Grant had one baseon-balls.

Special recognition and thanks for coming out to the game go to the Randy Scotts, Ida Schultz, Beverly Scott and Bino Vrana's family. We invite our membership to try to come out to our games this season.

Brother Silas Smith reported the next board of trustees' meeting will be on Monday night, May 3. He had Sister Engelke to read the minutes of the April 6 meeting. There was a discussion on where to draw a line on the mode of dress policy at our Saturday night dances. It was suggested a sign be printed and placed in the vestibule, on rules to be observed, which would be helpful to the ticket chairman and workers at the front. Sister Annie Hanus said this would be helpful because people ask if they are dressed appropriately to be admitted. Ladies in a nice pant-suit or an evening dress-up set will be allowed, but please, no tight slacks with short tops, no hot cants or shorts sets or play sets.

I would also like to thank the parents for bringing the children.

Brother and Sister Joe P. Hubenak, Sr., donated the three chocolate bunies with a dollar in each one for each age group. We want to especially thank them for this nice surprise for our youth. In addition, several ladies helped us with the actual Easter egg hunts -Sisters Mary Ann Krivanek, Mary Ann Kozel, Victor Murphy, Millie Waters, and Aileen Kercho, and these teenagers -- Bernadette Tesar, Millie Jo Waters, and Debbie Hubenak.

by Jon and Charles Durham and since

TNIK they were unable to be at the meeting, I want to tell them what a nice job they did. As you can see, it takes a lot of cooperation for even a small project to be accomplished and all this willing teamwork was appreciated.

We want to congratulate Jody Kratky for being elected flag bearer for our District III. This is quite an honor, and we hope that this will only be a start for a great success in adult lodge activities for Jody. He is a fine young man and deserves a lot of enccuragement from all of us older members so 'that he will keep up his good work in the years ahead.

11 We know that after many years of faithful service, it will be pretty hard for him to just fold his hands and sit quietly without being actively involved.

The youth club's first Salute of the Month goes to Mr. Frank Blazek. Brother Blazek has been a 'member of Lodge No. 92 since July 10, 1932. He has held office in our lodge a number of years, including being treasurer from 1832. Until 1960,, and on the board of trustees until 1971, at which time, he stated that he wanted to "retire." However, we noted that even at the last meeting, he very graciously served as guide and helped with the registering of all those present.

LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Members, Our cake walk was a great success; many people wanted to know when we will have our next cake walk. The response we got from the people who brought cakes, people who worked and people who walked was marvelous. Our youth club really does thank you.

We had 11 cakes and made $59.51 in 20 minutes; this was great. The cakes were brought by some of our youth club members and non-members of our youth club. May I add, the cakes were beautiful, they looked very delicious.

Here is a list, of those who brought cakes (non-members): Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Banik, 1 cake, and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Camp, 1 cake. Members were, Vernon Dulocks, homemade cinnamon rolls; Vernon Woods, Jr., 1 cake;

Then we had an Easter egg decorating contest. 'Quite a few members entered with 'beautifully decorated eggS. The judges decided that Chris Muenster's entry was the prettiest. She received a cake for the prize.

Items of Interest THE FAMILY LAWYER Bruised Feelings "It's a boy, said the absent-minded doctor to the happy parents.

But it happened to be a girl. The following morning., the doctor sheepishly acknowledged his mistake. However, the parents were so unnerved by this turn of events that they determined to sue him for damages.

At the trial, the doctor protested: "I admit I made a careless statement. But I can't see any basis for a lawsuit. After all, I didn't really do them any harm."

"Not physically," countered the parents, "but he certainly did jolt us mentally. We' want compensation for our mental anguish."

Nevertheless, the court sided with the doctor and dismissed the claim.

The court said mere bruised feelings, not inflicted on purpose, are insufficient, grounds for collecting damages.

Most courts agree. They fear that with no physical injuries to be checked and measured, it is to easy for a claim ant to exaggerate his woes.

They also fear they might be flooded by all sorts of vague claims. In another case, a girl demanded damages for hurt feelings when she was erroneously left out of a beauty contest. But again, the court decided her claim was too "iffy" to be allowed.

"To attempt to fix damages for such suffering," said one judge, "would be to enter the realm of speculation."

On the other hand, some courts have granted damages inr unusually delicate situation, when feelings are most likely to be tender. For example: A telegram to a businessman, inform_ ing him that his mother had died, was delivered three day late -- after her

Wednesday, May 5, 1971 funeral. Doubly distressed, the man sued the telegraph company for its negligence.

And, even though he had suffered only mental anguish, the court held the company liable. The judge said: "The mind is no less a part of the person than the body, and the suffering of the former are sometimes more acute than those of the latter."

Steep Because of Pain Couldn't

My whole body had been crippled by arthritis, all my joints and muscles were inflamed. I suffered such great pain that I couldn't sit or lie down and for almost a whole year I slept only about 2 hours every night. My doctor was afraid that I would commit suicide because of the pain. Then a countryman from Wisconsin recommended a combination of BOLVEN tablets and ZDRAVI-TAMIN capsules to me. I take both every day and already I have better circulation in my fingers and toes. I can now dress myself, I sleep all night and can even drive a car again.

That's why I too now recommend both of these miraculous drugs to all my friends. --Frank Kohout, Petersburg, N.Y. Don't put it off until tomorrow; order today. Small combination for 5 weeks is $6.88, or larger size,only $9.88.

Davno jsem odeSel z rodne chatky odkud slysim hlas matky!

• • Do libezneho mesice kvetna zasadila lidska ycleenost jeden z nejkrasnej gi a srdce nejvice se dotykajicich svatku — svatek matek.

Vg echny naSe matky, at' jsou mlade, anebo statieke, zaslou21 si, aby o jejich spoleenem svatku zazrila na ne laska.

Matka. Neni snad slad g iho slova v reei vgech naroda. A pravem. V‘Zdyt' matka to byla ktera o nas peeovala, neznala pro nas imavy, ci oddechu.

Kaftla na ge radost byla i jeji radosti, katdY na g zarmutek se dotkl jejiho srdce silnej gi net jsme jej citili sami.

Jen velika laska dala ji pretrpeti vgecky strasti, bedy a bolesti a zdolati vegkere preka0,ky, ktere ji branili vykonati veliky nkol: vychovati sve deti.

Pt! Vto prilaitosti bylo vzpominano dobrYch skutkit a nesmirnych zasluh nejen zesnule matky sleeny Jarvisove, ale i dosud EIjicich matek ostatnich pritomnYch deveat tato idea na v gechny zaptisobila mohutnYin dojmem.

Od roku 1951 nechybel ani na jednom mistrovstvi Evropy dr. Josef Dedie. Kdysi sam nspeSny zavodnik (r.

Nebral syna do prace, proVe byla pron. prace doma a nechtel svCdite zaprahati ptedpasne do funorne driny. Taky mu tkvelo na mysli nebezpeene prostredi, do nehoZ hocha zavede. Plal si, aby jeho syn vyrostl v poradneho dloveka, a tady na pasece mnoho poradneho neuslyei. ZvlaSte ne od to doby, co ten sousedilv ulienik sem chodi. Vedel, ze Ondrej sam se mu instinktivne vyhYba, ale nernohl zamezji, aby to a tam se nesetkali a troche nepromluvili.

Nebylo mezi nirni pkateistvi, jake bYva mesi cletmi ze, samot, jako by se zdravY organismus Ondrejn y branii nakaze. Ale pees to enure nmoho zachytiti, co mu ten hYril kekne, a zachyti-li se jeho duSi nee° z jeho darebactvi, poroste to s hochem a jednou propadne taky zkdze.

Nemazlil se nikdy s Ondrejem, mel ho v,Sak rad onou laskou tvrdYch act, hou2evnate se rvoucich se 2ivotem, kteri v dorfistajicim diteti vidi ztelesnenou svou bytost a touai, aby oni byli pokraoovateli v jejich snahach. kehofik upinal celou svou mysl ke svemu majetku, k jeho upevneni a roz gireni. V jeho predstavach rodil se obraz nejakeho meneiho hospodarstvi, u ktereho by bylo tolik poll, aby poskytla dostateene vY2ivy a nebyl odka,zan pouze na praci v lese. Mel u.P„ dokonce takove mergi Zivnosti s deseti, dvanacti korci poli v. okolnich vesnicich vyhlednute a odhadoval jejich cenu. Daleko od lesa se stehovat nechtel, to odporovalo celemu jeho presveddeni, .Ze les je a zilstane nejvetS1 oporou a nejlep'gim telem eloveka. I3yti tak nezavislYm, aby mohl do lesa choditi pouze tehdy, kdy by nemel sve vlastni prace, to bylo jeho idealem.

Ve Sttedu 5. kvetna 1971 neho vrchol lidskeho Ltesti.

Proto chtel, aby syn byl potadnST, aby se dival na svet, jak on se diva, a aby v nieem neuhnul od ptisnSrch zasad, ktere se jemu staly nepsan0-1 sice, ale tim vainejahn zakonem. VitouSovSrm Vojtikem pohrdal, jako se pohrda pragivSrm psem, a tteba ae mu nenadaval, to, co mu z fist o nem vyklouzlo, bylo tak ptikke odmitave, ee Ondtej nebyl v pochybnostech o otcove mineni. Zaeal se ho bezdeene take Stititi, a mluvil-li s nim, dinil tak jen proto, aby se vyhnul nadavkam a posmecham sveho sourostence.

Do lesa se na pra,ci tail a nekolikrate uz otci nadhodil, aby ho s sebou vzal.

"Vojtech je skoro o d ye Leta ne2 j a, a ut je delnikem," vytSikal rozmrzele.

"Ty nejsi Vojtik a Vojtik nejsi ty," odsekl otec. "Vojtik musi delati, protote nemaji co &Ai do fist, a ty snad hiadu nemag.

Zpracovavalo se pra,ve dfivi na pasece, stavebni dkivi bylo vytezano a ted' ostatek se kezal a Stipa' do hranic. Platilo se podle postaveneho dtivi, a protote byl plat dost skromnSr, Ondtejova pomoc naskodi.

Netuail, ae tens, y e sve starostlivosti o synka bude miti azkost, aby v poledne nemel hiadu. Rano vzali si sebou plechovku kavy, kterou si ohkeji nad ohnem na pasece, a posilni se do veeera, kdy je doma deka, vedete. ft eholikova byla prvS7 den vzdalenosti synovy pina fizkosti o sveho jedinaeka. Dlouho zaPasila, za nim nee° poslati, yedouc, ae mut bude na to vreeti, ale jeji laska byla vet'Si net bazeri pted mutem. Od VitogovSrch nosila Rozarka denne jidlo do paseky. Pravda, nebylo to nic zvlagtniho, protote nemela, aim pracujicim podstrojiti, a nemela take, co jim rano s sebou dati. Trochu bramborove polevky nebo ka6e, nebo tro-

V2STNIS chu kidke kavy, nebo bramborove placky nosila Rozarka, vaechna St'astna, mate nekolik hodin prolelkovati a ae ptijde do mutske spoleenosti.

Zaskoeila tedy k VitouSovilm prosic, aby Rozarka vzala v poledne Ondtejovi trochu kaSe, kterou on tolik rad jidal.

"Bojite se, aby yam, teta, neumiel?" smala se ji po zpasobu starSrch.

"0 to nejde, ale on neni jeSte na pre,ci v lese zvyklSr, vymrzne tam, a kdyby se trochu neposilnil, ptiSel by doma cely Veeer musi doma uklizet a takove mlade Val° neni na tolik prace zvykle."

"Mate ho poslati k muzice, tam by se otutil," prohodila posmeSne. "Na muziky ma dost easu, az mu bude dvacet let."

"Jejej, dvacet let! NA§ Vojtik ua k nim chodi a ja o posviceni pujdu taky."

"Zatancuj si s cepem na mlate," hubovala mrzute.

"To ne, to je pro stare. Lepe je zatancovat si s nejakStm hochem, kterSi umi libat a objimat." `'UmiS, aabo, pekne veci."

"Neposlouchejte ji, opakuje, co od toho kluka slySi. To je ut hotovSr Llama, ktereho nikdo nezkroti. Jen se jim kid', daleko to ptivedek" plisnila VitouSova. Stydela se, ae Rozarka tak pied l eholikovou rozvazala, ale davna ua zlhostejnela k nejake ptisnosti. At' rostou, jak chteji. Neptirostly ji k srdci a nic taky dobreho od nich nedeka.

Vaecka laska VitouSove sousttedila se k Jikine, ktera se stala jeji davernici a fitechou.

Jako odstreenY tvor vyrilstala v baraku. Od VitouSe neslyela dobreho slova a pojmenovani parchantem a se ji nedoWcalo. Meth, vrozenS7 odpor ke svemu tak zvanemu otci, ktery v kaAde sve opilosti ji vyhanel, nazYvaje ji darm&Zroutem a odhozenSrm netadem. Nabyla dovednosti otci se vyhnouti a zasahla-li ji piece jeho ruka ranou, snesla ji bez vaAnivYch vYeitek. V male jeji difSiece se ujasnil jeji aivot, zavislY na VitouSove, a ptimo chorobna vdeenost, ae ji matka nedava zahynouti. Povatovala za samozkejme, ae ji ani Vojtik, ani Rozarka nemaji radi, pro• e ted' ua matka za ni plat nedostato Z vala a zivila ji tedy zadarmo. Pouze Va.Sleek ji nejmene ublioval. Ten do gkoly ani nechodil. Bloumal kolem staveni na svYch kratkYch, tlustYch notkach, ruce maje v rortrhanS7ch kapsach a pitome se dival na svet. Nebo stal, rukou si daval jakoby takt a ktieel cosi, eemu sam nerozumel. Pouze housera se bal a vyhSrbal se mu zdale-

27 ka. Jinak nic nepomohl a byl pouze na obtit.

Jiiinu mel radeji nea matku. Bravala ho s sebou do lesa ei na travu a Svitotila, stale mu nee° vykladajic, nebo ho poueujic, jak ma to el ono cleat', nebo co si ma mysliti. Poslouchal ji s blbou pozornosti, ale najednou se rozesmal a povidal cosi, co nemelo ani hlavy, ani paty. To ud Rozarka el Vojtik pki takove ptilelitosti ho uhodili, nebo s nim po zemi vztekle smSrkali, ale Jitka trpelive zaeala znovu a na konec ho za ruku vedla doma, aby se housera nebal.

Nebylo veci, aby se ji nalezenka doma nechapala. Byla jako knoflik, ale 112 se natahovala, aby na kravu dosahla a ji odesala; husy hlidala A pro ne sveli travu shaneia. Kukata n&sadila a stkehla, aby vrany nebo ostki2 je neodnesli. Ted' take mela Vitou'Sova malt' pkijem z lesnich plodin; jelikoa od jara do podzimu Jikka po lesich pobihala a nosila dIbany a kOSiky lesnich plodii a hub, za ktere si Vitougova pkinagela z mesta nejpotkebnejSi -creel pro domacnost.

"M vyjde Rozarka ze 'Skott, poglu do slutby," svetovala Vitou gova sve davernici. "Potom ti koupim lepSi Ted' music dotrhavat po ni, to via, ae na to nemam."

"Vgak ja nic nechci, vy, maminko, pottebujete novou sukni, tu si kupte."

"Koupim, dite, koupim, ale kdy, to ja, nevim."

"Je. yam ji koupim, ja pajdu nekam za husopasku."

"A mne tu chce g nechat samotnou?"

"Ted' neprijdu, podkam, as budu veta . Ale koupirri vam ji, uvidite."

Nekolikre.te se nabizela Jikka, ae ponese ober/ do paseky sama a ae bude doma dkiv nea Rozarka, jen si ji vSak popudila.

"Dam ti jednu," rozumiS?" rozp•ahla se Rozarka. "Chce'S ua mezi chlapy?

Jsi jako punta ua by rada si namlouvala."

Jikka tomu jmenu nerozumela, pochopila vaak, ae je td nee° oSkliveho, a neodvalila se pied Rozarkou o torn se znovu zminiti. V jeji duM byla obdivuhodna sila, ktera, ji einila temek nedotknutelnou. VS'echny ohavne veci a vSechny nestydate zjevy sklouzaly s jeji duS'e jako se skla, ania zanechavaly nejake 'g pinave stopy. To snad pkiroda sama ji tak vyzbrojila, kdy2 ji osud tak bez obrany vyhnal do sveta mezi cizi lidi, ani2 se ji bylo dostalo matekske lasky a tepla otcovskeho domu. Proto take vYroky Vojtikovy a Ro-

8 zareiny mijely jeji nitro, ani-2 probudily nejako uvaSnivou zvedavost. Byla ostatne jeSte ditetem a k tomu dosti slabYin ditetem, aby mohlo byti cosi v jejim nitru zaZehnuto — Rozarka tedy nesla , take hrneeek kaSe pro Oncireje, a kdyi data s yYni °bed,' On-zaSta . dale, kde sedel Rehorik s e inka ti posila t,uhle neco na zub, boil se, aby ses tidy tuze nepolanial," vyrizovala uStepaen6 a Postana parez hrneeek, "Kdo to posila?" ptal se Rehorik nevlidne.

"Teta it" ehorikova."

"Tys ji o to rikal?" tazal se otec syna, nezakrYvaje, Ze mu to neni mile.

"0 nic jsem ne •ikal, v2clyt' maim Bost, " branil se Ondrej.

"Pro(' to tedy posile? Kdy vydrZ',1m ja, VydrZIS ty take. Nu, uz je totally, nenechame to zkazit. Jdi hawk prihrati- k ohni, snime to."

Ondrej poslechl, aekoliv mu bylo jaksi trapne, ze matka bezdeene jeho muZskon zdatnost. U ohne sedel take Vojtik, nahrivaje plechOvku s poley kou a Rozarka u neho stain. Kdy'' , priSel Ondrej, vsimla si, jak je eervenY 'a jak riejak vyrostl a- zkostnatel.

"Kdy pajdeS k muziee?" ptala se ho, usedajic na hromadu Stepin.

"Napresrok," odbyl ji kratce.

"To brzy. Chtela jsem ti rici, abys mne vzal s sebou, ale to bych se naeekala. Nechce se ti taneavat?"

"Nechce."

"Ale mne se chce. Na'S Vojtik mne nechce s sebou vziti a ja bych tak hrozne rada Sla. Ty nemaS jeSte non namluvenou?"

"Na pastve."

"Opravdu? Jak se jmenuje?" "je to rase straeka a srna."

"Koho bych libal? A prod bych libal? At' liba, kdo ma na to chuti.", "Bole, ty jsi hloupY," spraskla ruce.

"Povidej to Vojtikovi a ne rune," odbyl ji temer zlostne a vracel se k otci, Zamraeila se a sledovala ho zlostnYm pohledem. Takovy velkY hoch a je bloupY jako telatko.
