The night passed peacelly. I was beginning to think that all was well. Then, just before day-break I heard the man of the house talking to his wife. With my ear to the chimney that connected our rooms, I heard what they were saying, "Okay, okay, but must I kill them both?" To which the wife answered, "Yes." Then I heard nothing more... What can I tell you? I couldn't breathe. My body went cold. God! There were the two of us, without anything to defend ourselves. How could we fight against half a dozen men with guns and other weapons? Beside, my friend was asleep. Should I wake him? I didn't want to make a sound. Should I try to run away? I couldn'. I looked out the window. Maybe I could jump out, I said to myself. But there were two big dogs just under me. I was still wondering what to do when I heard a sound on the stairs. The door was a little open. Though the opening, I saw the husband. He was carring a lamp in one hand. In the other hand he carried one of his big knives. His wife was right behind him. I ran behind the door just as it opened. He gave the lamp to her and came into the room. "Go quietly!" said the woman, as she put her hand in front of the lamp. He walked to the ladder and started climbing it. He was holding the knife between his teeth. When he reached the top, he stood over my young friend sleeping peacelly. Then the man took the knife in his right hand, and with his left he took... ah!...a ham from the shelf. He cut off a big piece, and left the way he came. The door closed, the light was gone, and I was left alone with my feelings. When morning came, the whole family came up to wake us. They placed a large breakfast in front of us--and an excellent meal it was, too! When we were almost done, the wife came in. She was carrying one more plate of food. It had two cooked chickens on it. "We just cooked these for you," she said. "Eat one now, and take one on your journey." That was when I understood the meaning of those terrible words, "Must I kill them both?"
