The Villagers greeted our 'seasoned' traveller who thought he had come from another shtetl but he was recognized by the local yentl, "I have seen this man before, he looks at us as if wanting more". but then he got to a home which resembled what he'd left he'd thought if this was a big city, he's going daft... a woman appeared in the doorway and shouted, "get in"! she probably wanted to know where her husband had been. Inside the table was set like the one in his home, the head had been absent, now on leave all alone he decided to eat there since their was an empty place but he still had to account for his loss of time and space... The woman strangely urged him to stay against his will the prospect of spending the night with another man's woman drove him ill. for what if the husband would discover him with his 'wife' and put a sudden end to his bittersweet life! And it occurred that if he gotten to the home of a man whose shoes he had filled, that man would have found his abode by now and be keeping company with his wife. How he wanted to put an end to that low life! So he decided to stay at this 'new' home imagined that he'd cover it by a mosaic dome mark his success on his urban throne; that he had travelled past villages of other men reminded him of life spent way back then... reminded him of his former wife and bratty kids how his life had been spent on roof top skids.
