    "A sheep-dog had not a good master, but, on the contrary, one who let him suffer hunger. As he could stay no longer with him, he went quite sadly away. On the road he met a sparrow who said, brother dog, why are you so sad. The dog replied, I am hungry, and have nothing to eat. Then said the sparrow, dear brother, come into the town with me, and I will satisy your hunger. So they went into the town together, and when they came in front of a butcher's shop the sparrow said to the dog, stay there, and I will pick a bit of meat down for you, and he alighted on the stall, looked about him to see that no one was observing him, and pecked and pulled and tore so long at a piece which lay on the edge, that it slipped down. Then the dog seized it, ran into a corner, and devoured it. The sparrow said, now come with me to another shop, and then I will get you one more piece that you may be satisfied. When the dog had devoured the second piece as well, the sparrow asked, brother dog, have you now had enough. Yes, I have had meat enough, he answered, but I have had no bread yet. Said the sparrow, you shall have that also, come with me. Then he took him to a baker's shop, and pecked at a couple of little buns till they rolled down, and as the dog wanted still more, he led him to another stall, and again got bread for him. When that was consumed, the sparrow said, brother dog, have you now had enough. Yes, he replied, now we will walk awhile outside the town. Then they both went out on to the highway. The weather was warm, however, and when they had walked a little way the dog said, I am tired, and would like to sleep. Well, do sleep, answered the sparrow, and in the meantime I will seat myself on a branch. So the dog lay down on the road, and fell fast asleep. Whilst he lay sleeping there, a waggoner came driving by, who had a cart with three horses, laden with two barrels of wine. The sparrow, however, saw that he was not going to turn aside, but was staying in the wheel track in which the dog was lying, so it cried, waggoner, don't do it, or I will make you poor. But the waggoner growled to himself, you will not make me poor, and cracked his whip and drove the cart over the dog, and the wheels killed him. Then the sparrow cried, you have run over my brother dog and killed him, it shall cost you your cart and horses. Cart and horses indeed, said the waggoner. What harm can you do me. And drove onwards. Then the sparrow crept under the cover of the cart, and pecked so long at the same bung-hole that he got the bung out, and then all the wine ran out without the driver noticing it. But once when he was looking behind him he saw that the cart was dripping, and looked at the barrels and saw that one of them was empty. Unfortunate fellow that am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and flew on to the head of one of the horses and pecked his eyes out. When the driver saw that, he drew out his axe and wanted to hit the sparrow, but the sparrow flew into the air, and he hit his horse on the head and it fell down dead. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and when the driver drove on with the two hoses, the sparrow again crept under the cover, and pecked the bung out of the second cask, so all the wine was spilt. When the driver became aware of it, he again cried, oh, what an unfortunate man am I. But the sparrow replied, not unfortunate enough yet, and seated himself on the head of the second horse, and pecked his eyes out. The driver ran up to it and raised his axe to strike, but the sparrow flew into the air and the blow struck the horse, which fell. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I. Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and lighted on the third horse's head, and pecked out his eyes. The driver, in his rage, struck at the sparrow without looking round, and did not hit him but killed his third horse likewise. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, answered the sparrow. Now will I make you unfortunate in your home, and flew away. The driver had to leave the waggon standing, and full of anger and vexation went home. Ah, said he to his wife, what misfortunes I have had. My wine has run out, and the horses are all three dead. Alas, husband, she answered, what a malicious bird has come into the house. It has gathered together every bird there is in the world, and they have fallen on our corn up there, and are devouring it. Then he went upstairs, and thousands and thousands of birds were sitting in the loft and had eaten up all the corn, and the sparrow was sitting in the midst of them. Then the driver cried, oh, what an unfortunate man am I. Not unfortunate enough yet, answered the sparrow, waggoner, it shall cost you your life as well, and flew out. Then the waggoner had lost all his property, and he went downstairs into the room, sat down behind the stove and was quite furious and bitter. But the sparrow sat outside in front of the window, and cried, waggoner, it shall cost you your life. Then the waggoner snatched the axe and threw it at the sparrow, but it only broke the window, and did not hit the bird. The sparrow now hopped in, placed itself on the stove and cried, waggoner, it shall cost you your life. The latter, quite mad and blind with rage, smote the stove in twain, and as the sparrow flew from one place to another so it fared with all his household furniture, looking-glass, benches, table, and at last the walls of his house, and yet he could not hit the bird. At length, however, he caught it with his hand. Then his wife said, shall I kill it. No, cried he, that would be too merciful. It shall die much more cruelly. And he took it and swallowed it whole. The sparrow, however, began to flutter about in his body, and fluttered up again into the man's mouth, then it stretched out its head, and cried, waggoner, it shall still cost you your life. The driver gave the axe to his wife, and said, wife, kill the bird in my mouth for me. The woman struck, but missed her blow, and hit the waggoner square on his head, so that he fell dead. But the sparrow flew up and away."

    "A sheep-dog had not a good master, but, on the contrary, one who let him suffer hunger. As he could stay no longer with him, he went quite sadly away. On the road he met a sparrow who said, brother dog, why are you so sad. The dog replied, I am hungry, and have nothing to eat. Then said the sparrow, dear brother, come into the town with me, and I will satisy your hunger. So they went into the town together, and when they came in front of a butcher's shop the sparrow said to the dog, stay there, and I will pick a bit of meat down for you, and he alighted on the stall, looked about him to see that no one was observing him, and pecked and pulled and tore so long at a piece which lay on the edge, that it slipped down. Then the dog seized it, ran into a corner, and devoured it.",
    "The sparrow said, now come with me to another shop, and then I will get you one more piece that you may be satisfied. When the dog had devoured the second piece as well, the sparrow asked, brother dog, have you now had enough. Yes, I have had meat enough, he answered, but I have had no bread yet. Said the sparrow, you shall have that also, come with me. Then he took him to a baker's shop, and pecked at a couple of little buns till they rolled down, and as the dog wanted still more, he led him to another stall, and again got bread for him. When that was consumed, the sparrow said, brother dog, have you now had enough. Yes, he replied, now we will walk awhile outside the town. Then they both went out on to the highway.",
    "The weather was warm, however, and when they had walked a little way the dog said, I am tired, and would like to sleep. Well, do sleep, answered the sparrow, and in the meantime I will seat myself on a branch. So the dog lay down on the road, and fell fast asleep. Whilst he lay sleeping there, a waggoner came driving by, who had a cart with three horses, laden with two barrels of wine. The sparrow, however, saw that he was not going to turn aside, but was staying in the wheel track in which the dog was lying, so it cried, waggoner, do not do it, or I will make you poor. But the waggoner growled to himself, you will not make me poor, and cracked his whip and drove the cart over the dog, and the wheels killed him.",
    "Then the sparrow cried, you have run over my brother dog and killed him, it shall cost you your cart and horses. Cart and horses indeed, said the waggoner. What harm can you do me. And drove onwards. Then the sparrow crept under the cover of the cart, and pecked so long at the same bung-hole that he got the bung out, and then all the wine ran out without the driver noticing it. But once when he was looking behind him he saw that the cart was dripping, and looked at the barrels and saw that one of them was empty. Unfortunate fellow that am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and flew on to the head of one of the horses and pecked his eyes out.",
    "When the driver saw that, he drew out his axe and wanted to hit the sparrow, but the sparrow flew into the air, and he hit his horse on the head and it fell down dead. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and when the driver drove on with the two hoses, the sparrow again crept under the cover, and pecked the bung out of the second cask, so all the wine was spilt. When the driver became aware of it, he again cried, oh, what an unfortunate man am I. But the sparrow replied, not unfortunate enough yet, and seated himself on the head of the second horse, and pecked his eyes out. The driver ran up to it and raised his axe to strike, but the sparrow flew into the air and the blow struck the horse, which fell. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I.",
    "Not unfortunate enough yet, said the sparrow, and lighted on the third horse's head, and pecked out his eyes. The driver, in his rage, struck at the sparrow without looking round, and did not hit him but killed his third horse likewise. Oh, what an unfortunate man am I, cried he. Not unfortunate enough yet, answered the sparrow. Now will I make you unfortunate in your home, and flew away. The driver had to leave the waggon standing, and full of anger and vexation went home. Ah, said he to his wife, what misfortunes I have had. My wine has run out, and the horses are all three dead. Alas, husband, she answered, what a malicious bird has come into the house. It has gathered together every bird there is in the world, and they have fallen on our corn up there, and are devouring it.",
    "Then he went upstairs, and thousands and thousands of birds were sitting in the loft and had eaten up all the corn, and the sparrow was sitting in the midst of them. Then the driver cried, oh, what an unfortunate man am I. Not unfortunate enough yet, answered the sparrow, waggoner, it shall cost you your life as well, and flew out. Then the waggoner had lost all his property, and he went downstairs into the room, sat down behind the stove and was quite furious and bitter. But the sparrow sat outside in front of the window, and cried, waggoner, it shall cost you your life. Then the waggoner snatched the axe and threw it at the sparrow, but it only broke the window, and did not hit the bird.",
    "The sparrow now hopped in, placed itself on the stove and cried, waggoner, it shall cost you your life.

    "A sheepdog did not have a kind master. Instead, his master let him go hungry. The dog felt very sad. He could not stay there any longer, so he walked away. On the road, he met a little sparrow. The sparrow asked, \"Brother dog, why are you so sad?\" The dog replied, \"I am hungry, and I have nothing to eat.\" Then the sparrow said, \"Dear brother, come to the town with me. I will help you get some food.\" So, they went to the town together. When they reached a butcher's shop, the sparrow said, \"Stay here, and I will pick a piece of meat down for you.\" The sparrow flew onto the stall. He looked around to make sure no one was watching. He pecked and pulled at a piece of meat on the edge. It slipped down. The dog quickly grabbed it, ran to a corner, and ate it all up.",
    "The sparrow said, \"Come with me to another shop, and I will get you one more piece so you will be happy.\" When the dog had eaten the second piece, the sparrow asked, \"Brother Dog, have you had enough now?\" \"Yes, I have had enough meat,\" he answered, \"but I have not had any bread yet.\" The sparrow said, \"You shall have that too. Come with me.\" Then he took him to a baker's shop and tapped on a couple of little buns until they rolled down. Since the dog wanted even more, the sparrow led him to another stall and got him some bread. When that was finished, the sparrow asked, \"Brother Dog, have you had enough now?\" \"Yes,\" he replied, \"now we will walk a little while outside the town.\" Then they both went out onto the highway.",
    "The sun was warm and nice. After they walked a little way, the dog said, \"I am tired. I want to sleep.\" \"Okay, go to sleep,\" said the sparrow. \"I will sit on a branch.\" So the dog lay down on the road and fell fast asleep. While he was sleeping, a man with a cart came by. He had three horses and two barrels of wine. The sparrow saw that the cart was going to roll right over the dog. So it cried, \"Hey, man! Please stop! Do not do it!\" But the man just grumbled to himself, \"You will not make me poor.\" He cracked his whip and drove the cart right over the dog. The wheels hurt him.",
    "Then the sparrow cried, \"You ran over my brother, the dog, and killed him! You must pay with your cart and horses.\"\n\n\"Cart and horses, indeed!\" said the waggoner. \"What harm can you do me?\" And he drove on.\n\nThe sparrow crept under the cart cover. He pecked at the hole in the barrel for a long time. Soon, the wine ran out, and the driver did not notice. But once, when he looked behind him, he saw the cart dripping. He looked at the barrels and saw that one was empty.\n\n\"Oh, poor me!\" cried the driver.\n\n\"Not poor enough yet,\" said the sparrow. Then he flew to the head of one of the horses and pecked out his eyes.",
    "When the driver saw this, he grabbed his axe to hit the sparrow. But the bird flew up high. The driver swung his axe and hit his poor horse right on the head. The horse fell down and could not get up. \"Oh, what a sad day for me,\" cried the man. \"Not sad enough yet,\" said the sparrow. Then the driver drove on with the two horses. The sparrow hid under the cover again. It pecked the stopper out of the second barrel, and all the wine spilled out on the ground. When the driver saw the mess, he cried, \"Oh, what a sad day for me.\" But the sparrow said, \"Not sad enough yet.\" It sat on the head of the second horse and pecked out its eyes. The driver ran up to the bird and raised his axe to strike. But the sparrow flew away, and the axe hit the horse, making it fall down. \"Oh, what a sad day for me,\" cried the man.",
    "Not unlucky yet,\" chirped the sparrow. He landed on the third horse and pecked out its eyes. The driver got so mad he swung at the bird without looking. He missed the sparrow, but he hit the horse and killed it too. \"Oh, what bad luck I have,\" he cried. \"Not unlucky yet,\" answered the bird. \"Now I will make you unlucky at home.\" The sparrow flew away. The driver had to leave the wagon. He went home, feeling very angry and upset. \"Ah,\" he said to his wife, \"look at all the bad things that happened. My wine is gone, and all three horses are dead.\" \"Oh no,\" she answered, \"what a mean bird came into our house. It brought every bird in the world here. They are eating all our corn up there!",
    "Then he went upstairs. Thousands and thousands of birds were sitting in the loft. They had eaten up all the corn, and the sparrow was sitting right in the middle of them. The driver cried, \"Oh, what a sad day for me!\" The sparrow answered, \"That is not sad enough yet. You will lose your life, too!\" Then the sparrow flew away.\n\nThe driver had lost all his money. He went downstairs and sat behind the stove. He was very angry and sad. But the sparrow sat outside the window and cried, \"You will lose your life, too!\" The driver grabbed his axe and threw it at the bird. The axe only broke the window and missed the sparrow.",
    "The little sparrow hopped onto the stove. It chirped, \"Wagoner, you will pay for this!\" The man was very angry and could not see straight. He hit the stove with all his might. The bird flew away, and he broke his table and his chair. He tried to hit the bird everywhere, but he could not catch it. Finally, he grabbed it with his hand. His wife asked, \"Should I kill it?\" \"No,\" he said. \"That would be too kind. It must suffer more.\" He swallowed the bird whole. But the sparrow fluttered inside him. It flew back up into his mouth, stuck its head out, and cried, \"Wagoner, you will still pay for this!",
    "The driver gave the axe to his wife. He asked her to kill the bird in his mouth for him. The woman swung the axe, but she missed the bird. Instead, she hit the waggoner right on the head. He fell down and did not move. The sparrow flew up high and away."

  "child_friendly_text": "A sheepdog did not have a kind master. Instead, his master let him go hungry. The dog felt very sad. He could not stay there any longer, so he walked away. On the road, he met a little sparrow. The sparrow asked, \"Brother dog, why are you so sad?\" The dog replied, \"I am hungry, and I have nothing to eat.\" Then the sparrow said, \"Dear brother, come to the town with me. I will help you get some food.\" So, they went to the town together. When they reached a butcher's shop, the sparrow said, \"Stay here, and I will pick a piece of meat down for you.\" The sparrow flew onto the stall. He looked around to make sure no one was watching. He pecked and pulled at a piece of meat on the edge. It slipped down. The dog quickly grabbed it, ran to a corner, and ate it all up.\n\nThe sparrow said, \"Come with me to another shop, and I will get you one more piece so you will be happy.\" When the dog had eaten the second piece, the sparrow asked, \"Brother Dog, have you had enough now?\" \"Yes, I have had enough meat,\" he answered, \"but I have not had any bread yet.\" The sparrow said, \"You shall have that too. Come with me.\" Then he took him to a baker's shop and tapped on a couple of little buns until they rolled down. Since the dog wanted even more, the sparrow led him to another stall and got him some bread. When that was finished, the sparrow asked, \"Brother Dog, have you had enough now?\" \"Yes,\" he replied, \"now we will walk a little while outside the town.\" Then they both went out onto the highway.\n\nThe sun was warm and nice. After they walked a little way, the dog said, \"I am tired. I want to sleep.\" \"Okay, go to sleep,\" said the sparrow. \"I will sit on a branch.\" So the dog lay down on the road and fell fast asleep. While he was sleeping, a man with a cart came by. He had three horses and two barrels of wine. The sparrow saw that the cart was going to roll right over the dog. So it cried, \"Hey, man! Please stop! Do not do it!\" But the man just grumbled to himself, \"You will not make me poor.\" He cracked his whip and drove the cart right over the dog. The wheels hurt him.\n\nThen the sparrow cried, \"You ran over my brother, the dog, and killed him! You must pay with your cart and horses.\"\n\n\"Cart and horses, indeed!\" said the waggoner. \"What harm can you do me?\" And he drove on.\n\nThe sparrow crept under the cart cover. He pecked at the hole in the barrel for a long time. Soon, the wine ran out, and the driver did not notice. But once, when he looked behind him, he saw the cart dripping. He looked at the barrels and saw that one was empty.\n\n\"Oh, poor me!\" cried the driver.\n\n\"Not poor enough yet,\" said the sparrow.
