"There was once a wonderful musician, who went quite forlorn through a forest and thought of all manner of things, and when nothing was left for him to think about, he said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither a good companion for myself. Then he took his fiddle from his back, and played so that it echoed through the trees. It was not long before a wolf came trotting through the thicket towards him. Ah, here is a wolf coming. I have no desire for him, said the musician but the wolf came nearer and said to him, ah, dear musician, how beautifully you play. I should like to learn that, too. It is soon learnt, the musician replied, you have only to do all that I bid you. Oh, musician, said the wolf, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. The musician bade him follow, and when they had gone part of the way together, they came to an old oak-tree which was hollow inside, and cleft in the middle. Look, said the musician, if you will learn to fiddle, put your fore paws into this crevice. The wolf obeyed, but the musician quickly picked up a stone and with one blow wedged his two paws so fast that he was forced to stay there like a prisoner. Wait there until I come back again, said the musician, and went his way. After a while he again said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither another companion, and took his fiddle and again played in the forest. It was not long before a fox came creeping through the trees towards him. Ah, there's a fox coming, said the musician. I have no desire for him. The fox came up to him and said, oh, dear musician, how beautifully you play. I should like to learn that too. That is soon learnt, said the musician. You have only to do everything that I bid you. Oh, musician, then said the fox, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. Follow me, said the musician, and when they had walked a part of the way, they came to a footpath, with high bushes on both sides of it. There the musician stood still, and from one side bent a young hazel-bush down to the ground, and put his foot on the end of it. Then he bent down a young tree from the other side as well, and said, now little fox, if you will learn something, give me your left front paw. The fox obeyed, and the musician fastened his paw to the left bough. Little fox, said he, now reach me your right paw. And he tied it to the right bough. When he had examined whether the knots were firm enough, he let go, and the bushes sprang up again, and jerked up the little fox, so that it hung struggling in the air. Wait there till I come back again, said the musician, and went on his way. Again he said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither another companion. So he took his fiddle, and the sound echoed through the forest. Then a little hare came springing towards him. Ah, a hare is coming, said the musician, I do not want him. Ah, dear musician, said the hare, how beautifully you fiddle, I too, should like to learn that. That is soon learnt, said the musician, you have only to do everything that I bid you. Oh, musician, replied the little hare, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. They went a part of the way together until they came to an open space in the forest, where stood an aspen tree. The musician tied a long string round the little hare's neck, the other end of which he fastened to the tree. Now briskly, little hare, run twenty times round the tree, cried the musician, and the little hare obeyed, and when it had run round twenty times, it had twisted the string twenty times round the trunk of the tree, and the little hare was caught, and let it pull and tug as it liked, it only made the string cut into its tender neck. Wait there till I come back, said the musician, and went onwards. The wolf, in the meantime, had pushed and pulled and bitten at the stone, and had worked so long that he had set his feet at liberty and had drawn them once more out of the cleft. Full of anger and rage he hurried after the musician and wanted to tear him to pieces. When the fox saw him running, he began to lament, and cried with all his might, brother wolf, come to my help, the musician has betrayed me. The wolf drew down the little tree, bit the cord in two, and freed the fox, who went with him to take revenge on the musician. They found the tied-up hare, whom likewise they rescued, and then they all sought the enemy together. The musician had once more played his fiddle as he went on his way, and this time he had been more fortunate. The sound reached the ears of a poor wood-cutter, who instantly, whether he would or no, gave up his work and came with his hatchet under his arm to listen to the music. At last comes the right companion, said the musician, for I was seeking a human being, and no wild beast. And he began and played so beautifully and delightfully that the poor man stood there as if bewitched, and his heart leaped with gladness. And as he thus stood, the wolf, the fox, and the hare came up, and he saw well that they had some evil design. So he raised his glittering axe and placed himself before the musician, as if to say, whoso wishes to touch him let him beware, for he will have to deal with me. Then the beasts were terrified and ran back into the forest. The musician, however, played once more to the man out of gratitude, and then went onwards."

"speech_safe_text": "There was once a wonderful musician, who went quite forlorn through a forest and thought of all manner of things, and when nothing was left for him to think about, he said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither a good companion for myself. Then he took his fiddle from his back, and played so that it echoed through the trees. It was not long before a wolf came trotting through the thicket towards him. Ah, here is a wolf coming. I have no desire for him, said the musician but the wolf came nearer and said to him, ah, dear musician, how beautifully you play. I should like to learn that, too. It is soon learnt, the musician replied, you have only to do all that I bid you.\n\nOh, musician, said the wolf, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. The musician bade him follow, and when they had gone part of the way together, they came to an old oak-tree which was hollow inside, and cleft in the middle. Look, said the musician, if you will learn to fiddle, put your fore paws into this crevice. The wolf obeyed, but the musician quickly picked up a stone and with one blow wedged his two paws so fast that he was forced to stay there like a prisoner. Wait there until I come back again, said the musician, and went his way. After a while he again said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither another companion, and took his fiddle and again played in the forest.\n\nIt was not long before a fox came creeping through the trees towards him. Ah, there is a fox coming, said the musician. I have no desire for him. The fox came up to him and said, oh, dear musician, how beautifully you play. I should like to learn that too. That is soon learned, said the musician. You have only to do everything that I bid you. Oh, musician, then said the fox, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. Follow me, said the musician, and when they had walked a part of the way, they came to a footpath, with high bushes on both sides of it. There the musician stood still, and from one side bent a young hazel-bush down to the ground, and put his foot on the end of it.\n\nThen he bent down a young tree from the other side as well, and said, now little fox, if you will learn something, give me your left front paw. The fox obeyed, and the musician fastened his paw to the left bough. Little fox, said he, now reach me your right paw. And he tied it to the right bough. When he had examined whether the knots were firm enough, he let go, and the bushes sprang up again, and jerked up the little fox, so that it hung struggling in the air. Wait there till I come back again, said the musician, and went on his way. Again he said to himself, time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither another companion. So he took his fiddle, and the sound echoed through the forest. Then a little hare came springing towards him.\n\nAh, a hare is coming, said the musician, I do not want him. Ah, dear musician, said the hare, how beautifully you fiddle, I too, should like to learn that. That is soon learnt, said the musician, you have only to do everything that I bid you. Oh, musician, replied the little hare, I will obey you as a scholar obeys his master. They went a part of the way together until they came to an open space in the forest, where stood an aspen tree. The musician tied a long string round the little hare's neck, the other end of which he fastened to the tree.\n\nNow briskly, little hare, run twenty times round the tree, cried the musician, and the little hare obeyed, and when it had run round twenty times, it had twisted the string twenty times round the trunk of the tree, and the little hare was caught, and let it pull and tug as it liked, it only made the string cut into its tender neck. Wait there till I come back, said the musician, and went onwards. The wolf, in the meantime, had pushed and pulled and bitten at the stone, and had worked so long that he had set his feet at liberty and had drawn them once more out of the cleft. Full of anger and rage he hurried after the musician and wanted to tear him to pieces.\n\nWhen the fox saw him running, he began to lament, and cried with all his might, brother wolf, come to my help, the musician has betrayed me. The wolf drew down the little tree, bit the cord in two, and freed the fox, who went with him to take revenge on the musician. They found the tied-up hare, whom likewise they rescued, and then they all sought the enemy together.

"Once there was a wonderful musician. He walked through a forest and felt a little lonely. He thought, \"Time is passing slowly here. I need a good friend.\" So, he took his fiddle from his back and played a sweet song. The music echoed through the trees.\n\nSoon, a wolf came trotting through the bushes. The musician thought, \"Oh no, a wolf.\" But the wolf stopped and said, \"Ah, dear musician, how beautifully you play! I would love to learn that, too.\" The musician smiled and said, \"It is easy to learn. You only need to do what I tell you.",
"Oh, musician,\" said the wolf, \"I will do exactly what you say, just like a student obeys his teacher.\"\n\nThe musician told him to follow. Soon, they came to a big, old oak tree. It was hollow in the middle and had a deep crack in it.\n\n\"Look,\" said the musician. \"If you want to learn to play the fiddle, put your front paws right into this crack.\"\n\nThe wolf did as he was told. But the musician quickly picked up a stone. With one hard hit, he wedged the wolf's paws tight. Now the wolf could not move. He was stuck there like a prisoner.\n\n\"Wait here for me,\" said the musician. Then he walked away.\n\nAfter a while, he thought to himself, \"I am getting lonely here in the forest. I will bring another friend to keep me company.\" So, he picked up his fiddle and played a happy song in the woods.",
"Soon, a fox came sneaking through the trees. \"Oh, look, a fox is coming,\" said the musician. \"I do not want him.\" The fox walked up to him and said, \"Oh, dear musician, you play so beautifully. I would love to learn that too.\" \"That is easy to learn,\" said the musician. \"You just have to do everything I tell you.\" \"Oh, musician,\" said the fox, \"I will obey you like a student obeys his teacher.\" \"Follow me,\" said the musician. They walked for a while until they found a path with tall bushes on both sides. The musician stopped there. He bent a young hazel bush down to the ground and put his foot on the end of it.",
"Then he bent down a young tree from the other side as well. He said, \"Now, little fox, if you will learn something, give me your left front paw.\" The fox obeyed, and the musician fastened his paw to the left branch. \"Little fox,\" said he, \"now reach me your right paw.\" And he tied it to the right branch. When he had checked if the knots were tight enough, he let go. The bushes sprang up again and jerked the little fox up, so that it hung struggling in the air. \"Wait there till I come back again,\" said the musician, and went on his way. Again he said to himself, \"Time is beginning to pass slowly with me here in the forest. I will fetch another companion.\" So he took his fiddle, and the sound echoed through the forest.

"Oh, a hare is coming,\" said the musician. \"I do not want him.\"\n\n\"Oh, dear musician,\" said the hare. \"How beautifully you play! I would love to learn, too.\"\n\n\"That is easy,\" said the musician. \"You just need to do everything I tell you.\"\n\n\"Oh, musician,\" said the little hare. \"I will obey you like a good student.\"\n\nThey walked together until they reached a clearing in the woods. There stood a tall aspen tree. The musician tied a long string around the little hare's neck and fastened the other end to the tree.",
"Run fast, little hare! Run twenty times around the tree,\" said the musician. The little hare did as he was told. After running twenty times, the string was wrapped tightly around the tree trunk. The little hare was stuck fast. He pulled and tugged, but the string only dug into his soft neck. \"Wait here for me,\" the musician said, and he walked away.\n\nThe wolf pushed and pulled at the stone. He worked very hard until his feet were free again. He was very angry and ran after the musician. He wanted to hurt him.",
"When the fox saw him running, he cried out for help. \"Brother Wolf, come quickly! The musician has tricked me!\" The wolf pulled down the little tree and bit the rope in two. He freed the fox, and they went together to get their revenge. They found the tied-up hare and rescued him, too. Then, they all went to find the musician. The musician played his fiddle as he walked, and this time he was lucky. The music reached the ears of a poor wood-cutter. The wood-cutter stopped his work and came to listen, even though he did not want to. At last, the musician said, \"Here comes the right friend! I was looking for a human being, not a wild beast.",
"He played so beautifully that the poor man stood there, smiling and happy. The wolf, the fox, and the hare came close, but the musician raised his shiny axe to protect his friend. The animals were scared and ran back into the forest. The musician played one last song to thank the man, and then he walked on."

He said, \"Now, little fox, if you will learn something, give me your left front paw.\" The fox obeyed, and the musician fastened his paw to the left branch. \"Little fox,\" said he, \"now reach me your right paw.\" And he tied it to the right branch. When he had checked if the knots were tight enough, he let go. The bushes sprang up again and jerked the little fox up, so that it hung struggling in the air. \"Wait there till I come back again,\" said the musician, and went on his way. Again he said to himself, \"Time is beginning to pass slowly with me here in the forest. I will fetch another companion.\" So he took his fiddle, and the sound echoed through the forest. Then a little hare came hopping towards him.",
"Oh, a hare is coming,\" said the musician. \"I do not want him.\"\n\n\"Oh, dear musician,\" said the hare. \"How beautifully you play! I would love to learn, too.\"\n\n\"That is easy,\" said the musician. \"You just need to do everything I tell you.\"\n\n\"Oh, musician,\" said the little hare. \"I will obey you like a good student.\"\n\nThey walked together until they reached a clearing in the woods. There stood a tall aspen tree. The musician tied a long string around the little hare's neck and fastened the other end to the tree.",
"Run fast, little hare! Run twenty times around the tree,\" said the musician. The little hare did as he was told. After running twenty times, the string was wrapped tightly around the tree trunk. The little hare was stuck fast. He pulled and tugged, but the string only dug into his soft neck. \"Wait here for me,\" the musician said, and he walked away.\n\nThe wolf pushed and pulled at the stone. He worked very hard until his feet were free again. He was very angry and ran after the musician. He wanted to hurt him.",
"When the fox saw him running, he cried out for help. \"Brother Wolf, come quickly! The musician has tricked me!\" The wolf pulled down the little tree and bit the rope in two. He freed the fox, and they went together to get their revenge. They found the tied-up hare and rescued him, too. Then, they all went to find the musician. The musician played his fiddle as he walked, and this time he was lucky. The music reached the ears of a poor wood-cutter. The wood-cutter stopped his work and came to listen, even though he did not want to. At last, the musician said, \"Here comes the right friend! I was looking for a human being, not a wild beast.",
"He played so beautifully that the poor man stood there, smiling and happy. The wolf, the fox, and the hare came close, but the musician raised his shiny axe to protect his friend. The animals were scared and ran back into the forest. The musician played one last song to thank the man, and then he walked on."
