Memleketini Özleyen Yengeç

If you pass by "Tokgöz Bakkal" Kir Bodos Yuvanopulos at those hours, you will see a weak light leaking through the shutters. The melodies of a hymn sung as if it were being hummed from within come to your ears. These hymns are sung in Turkish over Greek liturgical compositions. Kir Bodos Yuvanopulos offers his satisfaction to God during these hours. He sings "Our Father in Heaven" and sometimes hums an entire liturgy. In the room above the shop, a young woman sings a lullaby to her child. The child does not sleep, the mother starts over, the child cries, the mother beats, the father screams and curses. This is the last act of the daily life of marketer Ahmet's family. When the child sleeps, they will turn off the light and go to bed. Ahmet's back is from carrying baskets full of vegetables. The woman puts her breasts into the little boy's mouth. But... how much milk do bread and beans make...
