Knoist and his Three Sons
|
|
|
|
Between Werrel and Soist there lived a man whose name was Knoist, and
|
|
he had three sons. One was blind, the other lame, and the third
|
|
stark-naked. Once on a time they went into a field, and there they saw
|
|
a hare. The blind one shot it, the lame one caught it, the naked one
|
|
put it in his pocket. Then they came to a mighty big lake, on which
|
|
there were three boats, one sailed, one sank, the third had no bottom
|
|
to it. They all three got into the one with no bottom to it. Then they
|
|
came to a mighty big forest in which there was a mighty big tree; in
|
|
the tree was a mighty big chapel in the chapel was a sexton made of
|
|
beech-wood and a box-wood parson, who dealt out holy-water with
|
|
cudgels.
|
|
|
|
"How truly happy is that one
|
|
Who can from holy water run!"
