“That was ill done, Hans, thou shouldst have carried the bacon on thy head.”

“Never mind, will do better next time.”

“Whither away, Hans?”

“To Grethel, mother.”

“Behave well, Hans.”

“I’ll behave well. Goodbye, mother.”

“Goodbye, Hans.”

Hans comes to Grethel. “Good day, Grethel.”

“Good day, Hans.”

“What good thing dost thou bring?”

“I bring nothing, but would have something given.” Grethel presents Hans with a calf. “Goodbye, Grethel.”
