Three fellows who wanted to catch a hare went on crutches and stilts; one of them was deaf, the second blind, the third dumb, and the fourth could not stir a step.

There were certain men who wished to sail on dry land, and they set their sails in the wind, and sailed away over great fields. Then they sailed over a high mountain, and there they were miserably drowned.
A crab was chasing a hare which was running away at full speed, and high up on the roof lay a cow which had climbed up there. In that country the flies are as big as the goats are here. Open the window, that the lies may fly out.
