“Dog of mine, dog of thine,
Did you meet a maid of mine?”
And the dog said, “She passed me by.”
A little further he met the same cat and sang:
“Cat of mine, cat of thine,
Did you meet a maid of mine?”
And the cat said, “She passed me by.”
Finally he met the owl and sang:
“Owl of mine, owl of thine,
Did you meet a maid of mine?”
And the owl said, “She passed me by.”
“Which way did she go?” said the fox.
The owl answered, “You must go over that gate and across that field, and you will find her behind the wood.”
The fox ran away, over the gate and across the field and into the wood, but he did not find neither the girl nor the glass ball.

The Three Sillies
Once upon a time there was a farmer and his wife who had one daughter. And a gentleman courted this girl. He came every evening to see her, and stopped to supper at the farmhouse, and the daughter went down into the cellar to bring the beer for supper. So one evening she went down to bring the beer, and she saw a mallet, that was hanging on the ceiling. She did not notice it before. She thought it was very dangerous to have that mallet there, and she said to herself, “If we marry, and we have a son, and he grows up and comes down into the cellar to bring the beer, the mallet will fall on his head and kill him. How awful!” And she sat down and began to cry.
