Ferko was very hungry. He begged and beseeched them. Finally, he was starving to death. Jerko leaned in to his face and hissed, 'If you will let us put out your eyes and break your legs, then we will give you a bit of our bread.' Ferko cried, and bore the torments of hunger until he could stand it no longer. Jerko and Merko poked his eyes out with a stick and crushed his legs with a rock. They did not give him any bread. Instead, they laughed and left him to die. |
