Misery of Old AGE,

Although Bulgaria is a land of cen
tenarians and ninety years is a COM
mon span of life, among the peasantry.
they do not esteem this longevity as
any blessing. Instead, they say:
The man got ninety years from
God. In the first thirty he lives the
life of a man, which is to be free
From thirty to fifty years he lives the
life of an OK; with yoke on his
neck he labOrs and sweats to support
his wife and children. When fifty
years are told he can get no richer,
but he will watch over all he has earn
ed like dog, Quarreling all day with
those who are near him. The slight
est thing will make him surly and
pugnacious. From the SEVENTEEN to
ne ninetieth year he lives the life Of

will mock at him and make fun of
him in his own house"
