Może by śmy go minęli , tak nas ta figura gdzieś ukryta przed nami pośród chałup , płotów , ogródków , drzew , krzaków zmamiła , lecz nagle jakby spod ziemi doszedł nas jego martwy głos : - Nie mówił em , że szukacie czegoś ?
Maybe we would have passed him by because this figure, hidden from us somewhere among the cottages, fences, gardens, trees and bushes, had lured us, but suddenly his lifeless voice came to us as if from under the ground: - Didn't I tell you that you were looking for something?
