"Stretch your feet to the length of your yorgan." (yorgan = quilt in Armeno-Turkish)"Ayağını yorganına göre uzat."
So stated Marash Girl's father. Not quite sure if her father meant to restrict Marash Girl's efforts or to extend her efforts in whatever she endeavored. Since Marash Girl was a small child when he began advising her to stretch those feet as far as she could, Marash Girl has always assumed he meant for her to extend her efforts as best she could in whatever she endeavored. And she did!!!
With Marash Girl's thanks to Murat for help with the Turkish translation.
