Růženka woke up from the dream world of books, torn by the faith of harsh reality, with which she managed to come to terms. The second story begins with the departure of Petřík, the farmer's son, from the house, because his parents do not want to allow him a relationship with the poor blacksmith daughter František. He was crazy about her, and every time he had her near her, she had him in full control. In the end, they wanted to get married because he was expecting a baby with her, but Petřík was not tired enough (only 22) and his father would not let him, so František decided that they would both shoot at a rock, but she killed herself in the smithy and the crushed Petřík fortunately, the parents spoke. He then tried to dispel the grief. The work is characterized by mixing different stories and elaborating many side events that can lead to the loss of the reader in the story.
