I traveled to Brasso, but they didn’t accept him in the Saxon school, because there was a law, which said that one should attend his own national school, or the state one [6]. Well, they didn’t accept him, so I enrolled him in the reformed primary school.
An acquaintance recommended me the Lutheran priest, that he would receive the child. One had to pay him well, generously. And indeed, I went there, they received me with kindness, they had a son of his age and two elder sons.
But not even after one month I was going there to see if the child had got accustomed to it. I found him in bed. And the wife of the priest says that the child had temperature, and she called for a doctor. ‘Now, I said, I’m packing up and taking him home.’ I felt pity for him, because he was laying alone, nobody watched over him. I paid two thousand lei monthly. But as I said, he was there only for one month, I paid for one month.
