Selected text
My younger sister went to the same grammar school I did, then got into the lyceum, but didn’t stay there. She changed to the School of Commerce. She graduated there. My sister is a completely different type than I. First of all, she was much prettier than I was.
Second, she was an incredible housewife. I wasn’t. She did beautiful needlework, baked brilliantly, so she paid attention to these kinds of typically female things. She was excellent in every area that I wasn’t. I could never knit or hook-knit properly. I knew how, because I learned how, but it wasn’t one of my favorite occupations. My sister, however, while she was living, would watch TV, meanwhile her two hands were moving, because she was knitting. Sports, no. She wasn’t so good. But she knew languages, too.
