TranslationOnce, a certain Flega was a priest here and he was a hunter. And one of the Matiš's was a hunter too. And they-- The priest was angry at him because he went hunting, because he took all his rabbits down. And he-- When people went to bless their food, the priest said in the church, he said: „I bless," he said, „I bless everybody's, everyone's food", but he said not Matiš's. And they say he had the bread in one-- tied up and he dipped it into the holy water font. „Here, this one is now blessed!" It's true, it's true! I wasn't even born yet, maybe, no, probably. And as he walked down the steps, they say that the water was dripping from that-- It was tied up in a napkin. Yes, right. This one-- Yes! The priest told everyone that: That he is putting a blessing on everyone's [food], but not Matiš's. And he dipped the bread into the holy water font, into the sacramental water. But they-- They laughed for years [over this]. This is-- It's been so many years ago and they still talk about it.
