The ferry on the Tisza was led by Uncle Béla for twenty-five years.
Reggel hatkor indult, este nyolckor kötött ki utoljára.
It left at six in the morning and landed for the last time at eight in the evening.
Ismerte a folyó minden hangulatát és minden örvényét.
He knew all the moods and all the whirlpools of the river.
Árvíz idején ő volt az egyetlen átjárás a két part között.
During a flood, he was the only passage between the two banks.
Egyszer egy orvost vitt át éjjel, viharban.
Once he took a doctor over at night in a storm.
A gyerek, akit megmentettek, ma maga is orvos.
The child who was rescued is now a doctor himself.
Minden évben eljön a komphoz egy csokor virággal.
Every year he comes to the ferry with a bouquet of flowers.
Béla bácsi már nem él, de a komp még jár.
