Põrgupõhja uus vanapagan - Anton Hansen Tammsaare

Thus, when a religious businessman who sold pious books wandered into the bottom of Hell, he never got the goods, even though Juula knew the letters and knew how to put them together, because Jürka always said that why pious books, if he enslaved Antsu for his soul blessing anyway. And although some sins should still remain, he pays for them with the housework, which he does as much as he can.

Work peace was occasionally disturbed by other suppliers of goods, who praised their bicycles, sewing machines, gramophones and other modern junk, promising to give everything differently, sometimes at half price, sometimes with installments. Jürka tried a bicycle, but he pedaled it badly before he could learn to ride it: he still had to pay for it, for which he sold beef to the butcher. The good thing is that the bike dealer and the butcher happened to come at the same time, you could take money from one hand and give it to the other without much effort. Besides, the wheeler-dealer was such a kind Saxon that he hit the bull's heifer from behind, while the butcher himself held the end of the leash. They went to Nõmda with a beautiful verse, only Jürka was left with a well-trodden wheel. But since then, Jürka showed every seller of goods the yard gate, and whoever couldn't get out through it quickly enough, he sent them out of his yard with a brig to the back of the fence.

"I warn against violence!" shouted the vendor.

"I'm a master," answered Jürka, "but without violence."

"Look, when I bring the police, you'll see who's the master!"

"If you bring it, it's the police, isn't it?"
