English Original
Between Werrel and Soist there lived a man named Knoist, who had three sons. One was blind, the other lame, and the third stark-naked.
One day, they went into a field and saw a hare. The blind son shot it, the lame son caught it, and the naked son put it in his pocket.
Then they came to a mighty big lake, on which there were three boats: one sailed, one sank, and the third had no bottom. They all got into the boat with no bottom.
After that, they came to a mighty big forest. In the forest stood a mighty big tree. In the tree was a mighty big chapel. Inside the chapel was a sexton made of beech-wood and a parson made of box-wood, who dealt out holy water with cudgels.
"How truly happy is that one, Who can from holy water run!"
中文翻译
在韦雷尔和索伊斯特之间，住着一个名叫克诺伊斯特的人，他有三个儿子。一个儿子是盲人，另一个是跛子，第三个则一丝不挂。
一天，他们走进一片田野，看见一只野兔。盲人儿子射中了它，跛脚儿子抓住了它，而光着身子的儿子把它放进了自己的口袋。
接着，他们来到一个巨大的湖泊边，湖上有三条船：一条在航行，一条沉没了，第三条没有船底。他们全都登上了那条没有底的船。
之后，他们来到一片广袤的森林。森林里有一棵参天大树。树里有一座宏伟的教堂。教堂里有一个山毛榉木做的教堂司事和一个黄杨木做的牧师，他们正用棍棒分发圣水。
"能从圣水中跑开的人，是多么幸福啊！"
