    "Once upon a time a mouse, a bird, and a sausage became companions, kept house together, lived well and happily in peace, and wonderfully increased their possessions. The bird's work was to fly every day into the forest and bring back wood. The mouse had to carry water, light the fire, and lay the table, but the sausage had to cook. He who is too well off is always longing for something new. One day the bird met with another bird, to whom it related its excellent circumstances and boasted of them. The other bird, however, called it a poor simpleton for his hard work, but said that the two at home had good times. For when the mouse had made her fire and carried her water, she went into her little room to rest until they called her to lay the table. The sausage stayed by the pot, saw that the food was cooking well, and, when it was nearly time for dinner, it rolled itself once or twice through the broth or vegetables and then they were buttered, salted, and ready. When the bird came home and laid his burden down, they sat down to dinner, and after they had had their meal, they slept their fill till next morning, and that was a splendid life. Next day the bird, prompted by the other bird, would go no more into the wood, saying that he had been servant long enough, and had been made a fool of by them, and that they must change about for once, and try to arrange it in another way. And, though the mouse and the sausage also begged most earnestly, the bird would have his way, and said it must be tried. They cast lots about it, and the lot fell on the sausage who was to carry wood, the mouse became cook, and the bird was to fetch water. What happened. The little sausage went out towards the wood, the little bird lighted the fire, the mouse stayed by the pot and waited alone until little sausage came home and brought wood for next day. But the little sausage stayed so long on the road that they both feared something was amiss, and the bird flew out a little way in the air to meet it. Not far off, however, it met a dog on the road who had fallen on the poor sausage as lawful booty, and had seized and swallowed it. The bird charged the dog with an act of bare-faced robbery, but words were useless, for the dog said he had found forged letters on the sausage, on which account its life was forfeited to him. The bird sadly took up the wood, flew home, and related what he had seen and heard. They were much troubled, but agreed to do their best and remain together. The bird therefore laid the table, and the mouse made ready the food, and wanted to dress it, and to get into the pot as the sausage used to do, and roll and creep amongst the vegetables to mix them. But before she got into the midst of them she was stopped, and lost her skin and hair and life in the attempt. When the bird came to carry in the dinner, no cook was there. In its distress the bird threw the wood here and there, called and searched, but no cook was to be found. Owing to his carelessness the wood caught fire, so that a conflagration broke out. The bird hastened to fetch water, but the bucket dropped into the well, and he fell in with it, and could not recover himself, but had to drown there."

The mouse carried water, lit the fire, and set the table. The sausage was the cook. But one day, the bird felt bored. He met another bird and told him how lucky they were. The other bird laughed and said, \"You work so hard! But at home, the mouse and sausage have it easy. They just rest until it is time to eat.",
    "The sausage stayed by the pot and watched the food cook. When it was almost time to eat, it rolled around in the hot soup and vegetables. Then it was ready to be served. When the bird came home and dropped his load, they sat down to eat. After they finished, they slept soundly until morning. It was a wonderful life.\n\nThe next day, the bird did not want to go back into the woods. He felt tired of being the servant. He said they had made a fool of him. He wanted to try a new way of doing things. The mouse and the sausage begged him to stay, but the bird would not listen. He said they had to try it his way.",
    "They drew lots to decide who would do what. The sausage had to go get wood. The mouse was the cook. The bird had to fetch water. The sausage went to the woods. The bird lit the fire. The mouse watched the pot. The sausage came home with wood for the next day. But the sausage was gone for a long time. The mouse and the bird were scared. The bird flew out to look for him. Soon, the bird saw a dog. The dog had found the sausage. The dog was very happy and swallowed the sausage whole.",
    "The bird bravely tried to get the sausage back, but the dog was too strong. He said he had found fake papers on the meat, so he had to keep it. The bird was very sad. He flew home and told his friends what had happened. They were scared, but they decided to stay together and be brave. The bird set the table, and the mouse got the food ready. She wanted to cook it just like the sausage used to do. She tried to jump into the pot to mix the food, but she got stuck. She lost her fur and her life in the accident. When the bird came to bring the dinner, the mouse was gone.",
    "The bird was very sad and scared. He threw the wood around and called out, but nobody was there. Because he was not careful, the wood started to burn. A big fire began to grow! The bird tried to get water to put it out. He ran to the well with a bucket. But the bucket fell into the deep water. The bird fell in with it. He could not get out. He had to stay in the water."
