Hlapec Jernej in njegova pravica.
Ivan Cankar

Morda je seglo studentu V srce, zakaj nj Sc
wee smejal.
"Jernej, ne prerekaj Sc o krivici in pravici,
he o poStavah in bozjih zapovedih tudi JAZZ sem
sc %prerekal, pa zdaj nimam ne donna ne cloveka.
Hotel sem razloziti ljudem krivico sveta in po-
STAY, pa so me pOgnali ma cesto, puntarja. Trpi
krivico, Jerncj, in je ne imenuj Vrni Sc, poklek-
nj pred gospodarja, skleni roke in ga prosi "a

stori, pa hos ubogal posvetne pOstave in bozje
zapovedil'
Jernej JIG pocasi zmajal 2 glavo.
"Krivico 81 trpel, pa ii je legla ma srce, da
govoris n~espametne in brezbozne besede. Ampak
ker 81 trpel, stopi k meni, kadar hos truden in
lacen: postelja DO tam zate in zlica!"
Tako je rekel Jernej, pri srcu pa mu JIG bilo
hudo in tezko.
In sta sa pc svoji poti.
Pred krcmo je stall zupan, golorok, debel in
vessel.
Exam, Jernej?'
TX tebi, zupan, pc Opravkih!'
Stopila sta V krcmO; Siroko je sedel zupan,
Jernej pa je stall.
"Zdaj posluSaj, Il IN, kakor ii bonn pove-
dial, ter presodi pc pravici in postavah! - Tole
mi je rekel mladi Star: pojdi in isci 81 gospodar-
ia drugod! To je rekel starcu: pomlad 81 mi dial

Zupan je namrsil obrvi, hagubantil je cello
in njegov pogled nj bill wee vessel, ne prijazen.
