Boris: Of course there was Old Greggor and his son Young Greggor. Oddly enough, Young Greggor's son was older than Old Greggor. Nobody could figure out how that happened. And everytime I asked they'd slap me.

Of course, there was Old Gregor and his son, Young Gregor. Oddly enough, Young Gregor's son was older than Old Gregor. Nobody could figure out how that happened. My two brothers, Ivan and Mikhail, used to play amusing little games but I had a completely different concept of myself as a child. My first experience with death was with one of our serfs, Old Nehamkin. Old Nehamkin was on the roof putting up a lightning rod when a storm broke out. After he failed to show up for dinner, Mother went to look for him. What is it, Old Nehamkin? You're not looking well. Are you okay? You feel all right? We laid Old Nehamkin to rest. And that night, I had a strange and vivid dream.
