In the city lived the shoemaker, Martuin Avdyeitch.
Through the window he used to watch the people passing by; although only their feet could be seen, yet by the boots, Martuin Avdyeitch recognized the people..
The window looked out on the street.
He lived in a basement, in a little room with one window.
