English Original
Once upon a time, there was a willful child who never obeyed his mother. God, displeased by this, made him fall ill. No doctor could cure him, and soon he lay on his deathbed.
He was buried, but his little arm kept reaching out from the grave. Even when they pushed it back and covered it with fresh earth, the arm would emerge again. Finally, the mother went to the grave and struck the arm with a switch. Only then did it withdraw, and the child rested peacefully beneath the earth.

从前，有一个任性的孩子，从不听从母亲的话。上帝对此不悦，使他身患重病。没有医生能治好他，不久他便奄奄一息。
他被埋葬后，一只小手臂却不断从坟墓中伸出。即使人们将它按回去并盖上新土，手臂还是会再次伸出来。最后，母亲亲自来到坟前，用枝条抽打那只手臂。直到这时，手臂才缩了回去，孩子终于得以在地下安息。
