-37- walking ahead; one carrying a chair for me to sit on while the girls rested several times. Another carrying my hat. And the other one my umbrella. It was quite an amusing parade. I quite enjoyed seeing the girls swim and splash in the water. They took me back in the same manner. One fine evening Aunt Jergine, Uncle, all the girls and two neighbor families climbed a mountain called 'kjofelle,' which I could see from my bed where I lay sick. They looked so small, way up so high walking single file. And I heard them call out the 'mountain call.' It sounded so nice; and it looked so wonderful to see them up there. And there I lay and could not go along; and O, I had wanted to climb a mountain very much. I burst into tears and cried hard for awhile. But, on the whole I was happy and cheerful; enjoying my dear relatives, and the new and wonderful surroundings. I loved to look thru the window at Uncle feeding his flock of hens, with a pleased look in his face: and to wave at he and the girls as they passed back and forth. Aunt Jergine helped take care of me while she was there. But, she was away quite a while. I had very good care and felt contented. Georg brot me some nice fish to eat.
