Whether on duty or in his garden, Sepper was always active everywhere.
The Turns Sepper also sold home-grown vegetables, various salads and other goods. Josef Turn, as he was correctly called, was an old hand when it came to trading. However, he earned his real living at the post office. He works in the office and often closed around noon. Of course his service began very early in the morning at four o'clock. From four to twelve o'clock there are eight hours on duty. In his greenhouse he raised the said plants. When the plants were then big enough, he usually found his dealer at the Main...

Whether in the yard or in the barn, chickens need to run free.
And they also need a rooster to take care of them. The rooster watches over his chicken clan. The goal of the young chickens is to turn a chicken into a mother hen one day. A mother hen hatches several eggs at the same time. And she wants to protect her brood. They cover their nest completely so that all eggs get the warmth they need. Little by little the little golden-yellow chicks hatch and the mother hen warms her young chickens until they become resistant. Now if an order came from my grandma. "Get two eggs in the barn", then...

The chicane was different every Friday afternoon.
"Give me your beret," said the sergeant.
I gave him my headgear and wondered what will happen next.
The Uffz took my beret and threw it under my bed.
Do it again, he said.
Of course there was some dust on the beret.
Clean up afterwards, said the harassment officer.
Then he blew in the keyhole from the other side and showed us the dust print on the cloth.
It was another chicane.
Finally we could line up in front of the rooms.
Then it was time to line up in front of the building.
At the roll call we had to run again as usual.
All groups stood...

Many others were waiting for their turn.
The good thing was that everyone helped out with the neighbors.
The day finally came when our courtyard gate was opened to the monster.
There was a freshly ironed towel on each bowl.
Then they were invited to dinner in the room.
Sliced bread was on the table. Sausage, cheese and butter. As a side dish, pickles, mustard, pepper and salt. Beer and lemonade.
The table was richly set and after the thanksgiving prayer we ate. The machinist insisted on inspecting the threshing machine he was entrusted with.
All helpers chatted happily about the excellent...

Careful, hot, shouted the sturdy village blacksmith in his element.
The village of Krum slowly awoke from its hibernation.
Many a young farmer yawned from waiting at the entrance to the forge.
Ignatius really wanted to lend a hand and stand by the blacksmith's side. At the age of five, of course, that wasn't possible.
At that moment Johann, the father of little Ignatius, stepped into the group.
It was fine with the father that Ignaz, as he called his youngest child, was interested in the blacksmith's trade.
Johann and his wife Adelheid had seven children.
The firstborn should get the court....

In addition to a present, everyone brought old china to the celebration.
The bride and groom were already waiting, full of expectation, with a broom and a shovel to clean up the broken dishes.
After this spectacle was over, the celebration began for all guests.
In addition to Coca Cola and juice, there was above all beer and wine in abundance.
The groom opened his party loudly with a welcome greeting and invited all those present to eat together.
Steaks, sausages, chicken legs, roll roast with dumplings and sauerkraut and other delicacies were mostly on offer.
During the meal, stories from...

Die Wiener Staatsoper zu besuchen ist in der österreichischen Hauptstadt ein Erlebnis. Ein junges Paar legte ihr letztes Geld zusammen, um zwei Karten zu kaufen. Noch schnell die Hände waschen und dann kann es losgehen. Wiener Oper wir kommen, dachten sie voller Vorfreude. Als sie aus der Toilette kamen hörten sie den Glockenschlag für den Beginn der Veranstaltung. Die Türen gingen vor ihren Augen zu und sie wurden nicht mehr hineingelassen. Alles Bitten und Flehen nützte nichts. Die Tür blieb zu. Umsonst hatten sie ihre Karten gekauft. Diese erdrückend schreckliche Situation möchte...
