"The children were sick, they were crooked, bent, their spines were sick. And the cows. How many times did they have to go on the wagon and bring the cow home, it didn't come out of the pasture anymore. After that, it was forbidden to behave. What was left was bought to Kremnica for the slaughterhouse. People then noticed that it was impossible to live there. In the yard, the man brought in dirt, I planted cucumbers there. We were wondering what it would do. Imagine that those cucumbers have borne fruit. There were those who collected what was born in the village. They looked into the yard and asked me what I was wearing there. I say - cucumbers. And do you have cucumbers on them? We have. And wouldn't you sell us two cucumbers? And why should I sell to you? Come on, I'll give you some cucumbers. That they need it for research. So we gave them two cucumbers and I don't know what they did with it."

"My mother used to bake mrváň for weddings, it was such a round cake, it was like a bun. But it looked beautiful. There was a gentleman here the other day, so he asked about this. So I told him - you know what, I'll bake the cake and call you to see how it looks. It's like a bun, but that's such a weird knitting. There is a hole in the container and it was used for weddings, where the bottle was used. And when they left the church, the cake was broken and scattered by those who came to see. He had a glass, he always poured a glass of wine from that bottle. Then we went to the cultural center and danced there until midnight. Then they went to the young son-in-law and the wedding ended."
