The old man broke some rye bread into a bowl, mashed it with a spoon handle, poured over it some water from his tin, broke more bread into it and salted it, and then, turning to the East, said grace.
El viejo cortó pan, lo echó en su tazón, lo aplastó con el mango de la cuchara, vertió agua del botijo de lata, volvió a cortar pan y, poniéndole sal, oró de cara a oriente.
