THE POOR BOY

THE POOR BOY / DER ARME JUNGE

With the milk from her own breasts she kneaded three loaves for him, one from flour, one from bran, and one from ashes, she baked all her love into them and gave them to him as provisions for the journey.

(Text excerpt from: Fairy tales from Romania, E. and W. Hering Verlag ABV, 1956)
