         who suffers from what." And he told him:


         “Your wife has the heart of a lamb.” So I supposedly had this


         “lamb-like” [weak] heart. And he’d been struck with malaria, he’d gotten it


         during the war. Tropical malaria struck him. [That’s] the worst sickness …


         Hm.


         … malaria. And he barely made it through alive, from that tropical – And me?


         a shepherd! A hoer! I plant the garden, dig the vineyard, whatever comes up –


         I did all sorts of agricultural work. I never took the hoe off my back!


         Hm.


         With a – a two-pronged hoe, and a flat shovel: that’s how I fed myself.


         Hm.


         Agricultural work.


         Mmhm.


         We also won these prizes [unintelligible]. We were there with the children.


         I brought two from here, bore two there. Four [in all].


         Did you go to school?


         No, but I know –


         Say!


         But – I didn’t study, but I know how to read.


         Say!


         I know –


         Dad …


         I wasn’t –


         … was a sergeant-major.


         Ah.


         My father was a sergeant-major.


         Aha.


         [Yes,] she said [that].


         He was a warehouse keeper [there] in Plovdiv …


         Plovdiu.


         … my husband [was].


         Uh.


         And so I was with him – we spent [our time], and now


         it’s been many years, and Tseko says, “Oh, when are you going to die?


         When will you die?” And I say “Make [it happen], give me poison!”


         I’m ready to poison myself. Why should I torment myself?


         And when I look at people – they move around, go [places], work –


         my conscience really bothers me. Why [am] I [the one] to live on?


         [Most] people can’t make it to fifty or sixty years,


         and [here] I am [the one] to make it to ninety-seven!


         It’s God’s work. It’s God’s work! We can’t get mixed up in it.


         There’s no God. God! God! God doesn’t want me. I pray to him.


         "Hey, come down! Come take me home!" They say if God doesn’t want you,


         it won’t happen. [It’ll be] when he says. When he says.


         When he says.


         I say, “Husband, send me a letter! I know how to read. I’ll read it through.


         Send me a signal. I’ll get ready to come on my own.


         If I could, I’d dig myself a grave next to you. But I can’t –


         Now I'm old already. But when I was young I could have dug [it] for myself.”


         You could dig it, but then a person might …


         Now!


         …. not feel like dying.


         Now is when I want them to bury me by my husband.


         Hm.


         By my husband. Not to spend money on gravestones, or put up such things for me.


         But my son – [there’s] some money …


         Hm.


         … he’s got.


         – stashed away.


         Not much, but I have five or six thousand. There’s enough to bury me,


         not to put up a fence. Besides, gravestones are said to be are expensive.


         Hm.


         So I say "No, you shouldn’t put up a gravestone for me,


         for an old woman. Just pile the earth on me, and write on –


         on my husband’s gravestone – on his – that I’ve arrived at his place."


         Hmm!


         [laughter]


         That’s right.


         We were very, very – my husband and I got on very well, child.


         I climbed up on a horse as tall as this house!


         Wow!


         As [tall] as this house.


         Did there [even] used to be such horses?


         The regiment was there, during the war, and my husband –


         some were climbing: “Let’s go [to] the hills, the mountains, piles of snow.”


         Mm hm.


         Up there it’s all snow, cold! Bears are prowling, wolves howling –


         Mm hm. And –


         It’s the mountains up there, and my husband ordered the soldiers to go


         to cut “material” for the barracks.


         Wood.


         Yes, lumber. And I [to go] with them. The commander hoisted me up:


         “Hey, let’s put this woman up on a horse!” I said “Oh my,


         I don’t dare!” He said, “Just let it [go] after our carriages.


         This horse is trained.” And so – I went out after them!


         Into the hills! And there is this dairy farm there.


         Uh huh.


         They milked water buffaloes, they make both cheese and butter. It’s like –


         a resort there. There’s – very nice. When you put a watermelon in a trough


         it freezes right off. Such cold there! There was water as cold as hell there.


         The cold enveloped it right off.


         The cold enveloped it right off. So I lived well.


         My husband looked after me like a man [ought], and I’m grateful.


         And now I don’t want to be separated. [I want] to go where he is.


         Let’s just hope that we’ll see each other in the next world.


         Certainly [you will].


         If there is [one].


         If there is [one].


         If there is something …


         If there is [one].


         … or someone. If there is something beyond the grave.
