Querido \'s father Querodion The Fine was a wealthy jeweler
who had married 14 women by the time Querido was 12.
When Querido became 16 he was already a tall and strong young man and he loved helping Djoskell the Farmer, since he was more a father to him than Querodion even been.
Querido decided to run away from his father and live with Djoskell and help him with his crops and milk his old cow Moochie. But when Moochie started giving sower milk, Djoskell asked Querido to kill Moochie for food during the wintertime, since the water was already beginning to freeze.
Querido was shocked and couldn\'t slaughter Moochie, who had been somewhat of a friend to Querido. So the next night Querido left the gate open so Moochie could run away.
And indeed the next morning Moochie was gone, and Querido acted like he was sad, because now they would have little rations for the cold winter time.
Djoskell was woried, he was an old man and looked upon the future with a grim face.
Wintertime came, Querido was having a great time playing in the snow, but inside Djoskell was hiding that he had become ill. One winternight Querido noticed that Djoskell wasn\'t feeling right and checked under the matras for money to buy Djoskell medicine, but there was nothing. Djoskell saud to Querido, that his time has come and that Querido would get his farm and land if only he granted his last wish, to bury him next to his wife, who passed away before Querido was even born.
But Querido would not listen to this madness, and went to town to find Djoskell some medicine. He danced in the tavern for money, but when he finished there was only laughter. Querido was hurt, but acted like he was laughing aswell, and while he walked towards the door, he bumped into several drunk merchants and looted their pockets.
Outside Querido counted his loot and got the medicine needed to heal Djoskell, happy he ran to the farm and arrived the next morning. But only to find, that he was too late.
Djoskell had passed away...
Querido cried, and carries Djoskell to the grave of his wife and buried him next to it.
Now Querido had gotten the farm and the land, but he couldn\'t find his peace, and decided to leave.
Where to? He didn\'t know, aslong as it wasn\'t near the farm and Djoskells grave, because Querido blamed himself for the death of Djoskell. If only he had killed Moochie for her meat, but he couldn\'t. Now he killed someone more precious to him.
Querido walked and ran, further and further away, but he had little money left and much hunger to still, so had to steal again, and he kept stealing, even if it ment killing another man, because he couldn\'t feel anymore,
not, with his hart ...
