“With Grethel.”

“What didst thou take her?”

“Took nothing; had something given me.”

“What did Grethel give thee?”

“Gave me a needle.”

“Where is the needle, Hans?”

“Stuck it in the hay-cart.”

“That was ill done, Hans. Thou shouldst have stuck the needle in thy sleeve.”

“Never mind, I’ll do better next time.”

“Whither away, Hans?”

“To Grethel, mother.”

“Behave well, Hans.”
