How are you doing, Moyshele, I recognize you at once. Many years ago, you were my friend. We learned together at school for many years. I can still see the rabbi, the rod in his hand. Oh, how can we bring back the years, that wonderful time? Oh, the young, sweet life is far away from us. Oh, how can we bring back the years, Moyshele, my friend? My heart still longs for that wicked rabbi. How is your sister Rokhele? I'd love to see her now. She was once, do you remember, close to my heart. But she loved Berele, hated me without reason, there's still a not yet healed wound in my heart. How is Berele? And Avremele? And Zalmele and Yossele? I thought about you a lot, I had dreams about you, kids, I was right there with you, we've become old Jews - how fast life passes.
