There sat Matte in his ragged grey jacket , quite alone , on the steps of the old hut , mending a net . ` Heavens , mother , ' said he , ` where are you coming from at such a whirlwind pace , and what makes you in such a dripping condition ? ' Maie looked around her amazed , and said , ` Where is our two-storey house ? ' ` What house ? ' asked her husband . ` Our big house , and the flower garden , and the men and the maids , and the thirty beautiful cows , and the steamer , and everything else ? ' ` You are talking nonsense , mother , ' said he . ` The students have quite turned your head , for you sang silly songs last evening while we were rowing , and then you could not sleep till early morning . We had stormy weather during the night , and when it was past I did not wish to waken you , so rowed out alone to rescue the net . ' ` But I 've seen Ahti , ' rejoined Maie . ` You 've been lying in bed , dreaming foolish fancies , mother , and then in your sleep you walked into the water . ' ` But there is the fiddle , ' said Maie . ' A fine fiddle ! It is only an old stick . No , no , old woman , another time we will be more careful . Good luck never attends fishing on a Sunday . ' From Z. Topelius . The Raspberry Worm ` Phew ! ' cried Lisa . ` Ugh ! '
