When explaining things, his father repeated himself several times, partly because it was a long time since he had been occupied with these matters himself and partly because Gregor's mother did not understand everything the first time. From these repeated explanations Gregor learned, to his pleasure, that despite all their misfortunes there was still some money available from the old days. It was not a lot, but it had not been touched in the meantime and some interest had accumulated.
Horrela jakin zuen Gregoriok-aita esplikazio luzeetan luzatzen zen, izan ere arazo haietaz arduratu ez zela hainbeste denbora zelarik, atzenduta zegoen, eta amak, bestalde, denbora asko behar gauzak ulertzeko-, ezbeharra gorabehera, oraindik diru lipar bat geratzen zitzaiela; askorik ez, egia esan, baina apurka-apurka beti ere gora egin zuen harrez geroztik, pilarako utzitako interesei esker. Gainera, Gregoriok, beretzat kantitate txiki bat utzita, hilero entregatzen zuen dirua ez zuten zeharo xahutzen, eta diru mordoxka txiki bat bazuten aurreratua.
