Knoist and His Three Sons

Between Werrel and Soist there lived a man named Knoist. He had three sons. One was blind, another was lame, and the third was completely naked.

One day they went into a field. There they saw a hare. The blind son shot it, the lame son caught it, and the naked son put it in his pocket.

Then they came to a huge lake. On the lake there were three boats. One sailed, one sank, and the third had no bottom. They all climbed into the boat with no bottom.

Next they came to a huge forest. In the forest stood a huge tree. In the tree was a huge chapel. Inside the chapel were a sexton made of beech-wood and a parson made of box-wood, who handed out holy water with clubs.

"How truly happy is the one who can run from holy water!"
