Where do you come from, papa?

From the woods.

Are you taking wood to the city?

Yes, my child. Here, I have brought you some dry wood. I’ll put it right into the oven.

I can do it myself, papa. Better go now so you can come home early.

I’ll be home early today anyway. I promised to deliver the wood in time for the Sabbath.

When you come home late I get so—lonely.
