Myo Moun
and Dimitri
By Mariechen.

The gypsy caravan was slowly
making its way outside the Ca
NEAR (Village). The dirty, fill
thy, lazy band whom the peasants
disliked were here again. Once
more the stealing would begin.
Dimitri was a proud leader OF
his group and with the fiery Aran-
ka as his wife he never had any
trouble in camp. Dimitra was an
honest "Zegun"(g he never
stole anything unless Aranka
wanted something. Sometimes
her eyes saw a horse she liked,
sometimes it was only some "ma-
shen' (ribbons). and again it
might be some delicious hunk
lick" or "strudel". And how she
would beg Dimitri to get what
she wanted. Each time he refused
and each time Aranka would make
the men and boys take up their
violi1s and then around the camp
fire Aranka would dance while
the gypsies played those haunt
ing notes of melody which make
her the dancing queen of them all.
Around and around she went and
when Aranka danced everything
else was forgotten. Even Dimitri
forgot abaut being honest and
would 60 out and get what his
dancing, fiery Zeganen wanted.
And now seated around the
campfire with soft strains of vio-
Inns playing is Dimitri and Aran-
ka.
"D.mitri, my brave one" said
Aranka, 81 have seen something
so beautiful that l must have for
my own, never has your Aranka
wanted anything SO bad"
What is it now my black-eyed
sparrow. Some day you will be
sorry for what you make me do. d"
ooh Dimitri, it is a table cloth
which l saw in a yard as we pas
sed by. l must have it"
"But my pigeon, a table cloth
You do not even know what to
use it for. We eat like pigs and
you want a table cloth. That
will not get for you."
Aranka said nothing more but
little later the gypsy music could
be heard even in the "gamean"
Children and old men hurried to
see the excitment. 1t was about
the best fun in the world to have
gypsies near your town. Some.
times they told your fortunes fol-

nuts) But tonight there was
dancing and music as they had
never heard and seen before.
Even Myo Maun who was Sc
old she could remember back
about eighty five "frayars'
(spr;ng) never heard anything
like this.
"Na Hilda", she said as she
patted a table cloth down with
old, worn, claw like hands, this

"Myo Maun, that is far too
good for me. Dou know every one
say, it's the finest in all this dorf.
VIII, even the "Frae Piarreren"
(min. sters wife) does not have

continued Hilda. "if you want me
to have it l will take care of it
even as good as you do

ncff" (flax) myself, treated and
then "spendt' (spun) it. Many
long hours have | worked over it.
7 was young ther, now | am old,
osmc people say | am an old hex
and do nothing but look out the
door and grow my "Birtrem" (no
transiation). You Hilda are good
to ne. That is why it is to be
yours. Always when winter is
over you must air it. Today l had
it or: and tomorrow | will put it
out again. But come, you don't
want to hear an old woman "pra-
zer', lets listen to the "Zegunen'
play. Hilda, that music means
something. l know, for have l
not heard them every spring for
many MANY years. Sometimes it
is a coming wedding. sometimes
a birth. l wonder what it is this
time. Never have they play
ed like this.
Hiida spoke II don't care what
is happening, l only wish they
would leave tomorrow. Already
they are stealing
The next morning Myo Maun
hobbled out and spread her cloth
on the green grass. Carefully and
tenderly she smooth it out. She
might be old, but she could see
"Noher Sims Frae" (Neighbor
Sans wife) watching her.
"Na, let her watch,' thought
Myo Maun, "she will never get
this "deshthuck". all she does is
laugh at an old woman like me.
The afternoon sun was just
beginning to lower itself when
Dimitri said, "My Aranka. now I
will go and get what you want.
The foolish women and children
are all working in the fields and
the most foolish one of them all
left your table cloth in the yard
Already in Dimitri's mind it was
Aranka's. Silently and swiftly he
made his way to where the table
cloth lay. He stood looking at
it for just a brief second. "No
wonder my Aranka wants this. 1t
is beautiful" Just then Dimitri
felt a crushing blow on his back,
"Oh Mary the mother of Jesus y
cried Dimitri, 1T is my punish
ment, the sky is falling. What
shall l do" But as soon as he
turned around he saw it was Myo
Maun with her "palukes Klapel''
(no ;ranslation). Never was he
beaten up this way. That old wo-
man was a hex. He was careful
so no one would see him and
where she came from he did not
know Brave. honest Dimitri to
be caught stealing by an old wo-
man and to be beaten up, surely
she was a hex. Tonight they
would move. He would tell his
band anything. Even to Aranka
he would lie.
The 'gamean" was glad to see
them go. There were many tales
as to why they left so suddenly
but only Myo Maun knows the
real reason and her small eyes
twinkle when she hears the sto-
ries. All she cares about is that
Hild.'s "Deshtisch' is safe in her
"trun' (chest). and just let any
other "shebig Zegun' try some
more tricks on her and she would
just use her "palukes Klapep'
again!
