Grandma was home alone on the farm. Grandpa was out tending to their livestock. I'm not sure where their children were...if the children were born yet or not. Not sure of the time of day or year, but Grandma was home alone on the farm.
Gypsies decided to invade the home. All at once the inside of Grandma's home was infiltrated with strangers that had no respect that they were trespassing on Grandma's property. No respect that the items they were stealing belonged to poor people that had worked hard for what little they had.
The gypsies quickly stormed all the rooms taking what they wanted. Too many of them to shoo' away. Best to stand still.
Grandma cut a large piece of meat into two parts and handed one side to one of the gypsies. Kind of a peace offering. The gypsy gladly took the offering and then spit on the other half that would have been Grandpa's supper. Grandma gave that piece to the gypsy as well.
As far as I know...she wasn't physically injured. Left with something to share with others. Like me.
