iri, li demetis la lampon
kaj la edzino gxin prenis. Poste, li eniris nudpiede, kaj sxi,
estante ekstere, diris al li mallauxte, kasxante per siaj fingroj la
lumon de la lampo: "Malrapide, iru malrapide!"

Kiam li estis apud la skabelego, li supreniris, sia trancxilego inter
siaj dentoj, kaj, alvenante cxe la lito kie tiu malfelicxa junulo
etendigxis, prezentante sian gorgxon malkovritan, li prenis la
trancxilon per unu mano, kaj per la alia ... li ekkaptis sxinkon kiu
pendis je la plafono, trancxis unu pecon kaj eliris sammaniere, ke li
estis enirinta. La pordo fermigxis, la lampo eliris, kaj mi restis
sola....

Tuj kiam la tago aperis, la tuta familio, grandabrue, venis vekigi
nin, kiel ni rekomendis tion.

Oni alportis la mangxajxojn; oni servis matenmangxon, tre puran, tre
bonan: mi certigas tion al vi. Du kaponoj partoprenis. "Vi devas, oni
diris la kunporti unu el ili kaj mangxi la alian." Vidante ilin, mi
fine komprenis la sencon de tiuj teruraj vortoj: "Cxu mi devas
mortigi ilin ambaux?"

Mi kredas ke estas facile diveni kion tio signifis!
