I'm not at all surprised that mundl wants to go home; he can't take anything. I'm glad i went; it's the first school of life. I have to be able to take a lot when it counts. Where is mundl actually? - now i want to tell you a little about what i'm doing. The farm. We're the second biggest farm in the village. We've got 11 horses, 21 cows and about 30 pigs. - last week we were chopping turnips. It was a lot of work, but my back hurt at the beginning. All the best. [ -ess- ???] a boy from the farm, we hang out together all day. - the only stupid thing is the wages. We are paid according to our age. It happens that someone at 19 [does less and gets paid more].
