NOT SO!

I took one of my sons, his wife and two of my grandchildren to
Czernowitz.

I, the old-timer:
This is the school I went to,
This is the Volksgarten, every day the weather was reasonable, I came
here.
This is the store which used to belong to my grandparents,
This is the theatre,
This is the grave of my maternal grandmother....

My son: What a beautiful city!
My daughter in law: No wonder you talk so much about Czernowitz!
My granddaughter: This is so cool (interesting)!
My grandson, after visiting the castle in Hotin: I did not know you
lived near a castle!
My other son: When are you taking us to Czernowitz?
