The Snowstorm
Klavne
Shat, that was it. He must have frightened my horse.
Shmereh
Mine, too. Ha, ha, ha!
Urtcha
Had to lead him back to the barn by force—into your barn, Chatcha Shimcha.
Raytze Yente
Is it really your ram?
Urtcha
Ha, ha, ha! woman!
Shoreh Malke
Doesn’t want to stay in the barn without the horse, I suppose.
Raytze Yente
How does he come to the window, then?
Shmereh
He heard Jews rejoicing—so he came.
(A knock is again heard at the window and a second pane is broken out.)
Vaveh
I said we should close the gate.
Zayde
He wants to be asked in.
Shoreh Malke
Come, bridegroom, come away from the window.
Pesele (looking out of the window)
I don’t see any one.
