| Abstracted summary |
"'Hey! Why are you running here with me, Beli Kade?' I said [It was Beli Kade Landos, a neighbor]. But then I couldn't see him any more -- he'd disappeared.
'Where di that dog go?' That's all. then I sad down, and turned my head towards the side. There was a peddler beside me.
So then I was riding on a bird, flying. I laughed. Where am I going? I felt as if I was above, on the branch of a tree maybe. I was very afraid. Where was I going riding this bird? Where was he going to land?
I woke with a start and opened my eyes and it was morning." (transl Hildred Geertz)
