THE VÁH RIVER


Now that we know about the house where Štefan lived let's go back to his early life in Drahovce.  One of Steve’s favorite stories about his life growing up there was about a time when his grandfather had him tend a flock of geese.  Štefan neglected his job assignment and went for a swim in the Váh River that flows near the village.  His grandfather found him and spanked him with a switch, because while Štefan was swimming, the geese had wandered off and were collected by the village constable. His grandfather had to pay a fine to get his geese back.
