English Original
Once upon a time, there was a child who was willful and would not do as her mother wished. For this reason, God was displeased with her and let her become ill. No doctor could help, and soon she lay on her deathbed.
After she was lowered into her grave and the earth was spread over her, her arm suddenly came out again, stretching upwards. They put it back and spread fresh earth, but it was all to no purpose, for the arm always came out again.
Finally, the mother herself was obliged to go to the grave and strike the arm with a rod. Only after she did that was the arm drawn in, and at last, the child found rest beneath the ground.

从前,有一个任性的孩子,总是不按母亲的意愿行事。因此,上帝对她不悦,让她染上疾病。没有医生能治好她,很快她就躺在了临终的床上。
她被放入坟墓,泥土覆盖后,她的手臂突然又伸了出来,直直地向上举着。人们把手臂放回去,盖上新的泥土,但都毫无效果,手臂总是会再次伸出来。
最后,母亲不得不亲自来到坟墓前,用一根棍子击打那只手臂。直到她这样做后,手臂才被拉了回去,孩子终于得以在地下安息。
