16/9 i(0181 Mustafa Karakaya)'s father i(0180) arrived in the night with corn. Eitmen i(0185) unwilling to let me into school building without
permission from Mdr, naturally.
Gave my income as 500 TL a month - mistake. (i(0317 Haci the Bekci ) wanted to know how I spent it all) {c:a}
Children (? Bekci's orders ?) accompanied me on a walk in the direction of evlik.
No watered fields. Gardens and vineyards and orchards high close to outcrops of rock ?
Land divided into rectangles alongside the road to evlik; some already sown a little; much
ploughing, often by mere boys. i(0182 Sleyman Karakaya) keen to learn. One man sowed and then ploughed in,
finally leveling off (tapan). Rides on the bicycle. Group from evlik waiting for a kamyon to
Kayseri.
k<land use, my income, children, school room for me>
{com:a My income with allowances was enormous by their standards then. When I wrote 'mistake', I meant I had lied and pitched the lie too high. But in future
years, they all knew I had lied too low, far too low. No one seemed to mind.They would expect me to lie. Though they ask the question constantly, and I needed
a consistent answer. A blank refusal was difficult. My main large lie. Other wise, I tried to tell the truth even when it was too complicated. What should I
have done?}
