of (the) one farmer and the other upon that of the other. _b._ Then
the two quarrelers took each‿other by (~bei~) the hand and said: “That
was God’s finger. Now each of us has what belongs to him. We’ll be
friends!”~
Das Abenteuer im Walde.
~A.~ 1. Was für Eier hatte die Ameise auf dem Markt verkauft? 2. Wie

Grille gewesen? Und was hatte sie dort getan? 5. Wo wollte das
Johanniswürmchen hin? 6. Wer war der vierte Gast? 7. Wissen Sie noch,
wo Sie das Wort »Herberge« oder »herbergen« schon früher gesehen
haben? 8. Wovon hatte die Schnecke das Seitenstechen bekommen? 9.
Womit beschäftigte sich die Schnecke, nachdem sie sich ihr Plätzchen
ausgesucht hatte? 10. Warum tanzte die Schnecke nicht mit? 11. Von
wem wurde der Tanz unterbrochen? 12. Sagen Sie die Stammformen von

15. Was geschah nun, als die alte Kröte nach Hause kam? 16. In welcher
Reihenfolge zogen die Gäste von dannen? 17. Wo brachten sie die Nacht

~B. I. What (~welch~) an adventure! Rain, rain, rain! Trees, shrubs,
ferns, moss, and stones,--everything is dripping, and the tree‿toad,
who ought to know (it) best, says that it won’t stop before to-morrow.
2. Five little creatures (~Geschöpf~) in the twilight under a big
toadstool! 3. An ant who has just sold her eggs at the market and
is now carrying home the money in a blue canvas‿bag,--an ant in
cloth‿shoes, but without overshoes and umbrella! 4. A cricket who has
been making‿music at‿a (~zur~) country‿fair and is now looking‿for an
inn, with her violin on her back! 5. Then [there] comes a glowworm
with his lantern, which he places on the table and which soon brings
them the fourth wayfarer, a big bug who is [a] journeyman‿carpenter
and takes (~halten~) the toadstool for a carpenters’‿inn. He has his
supper with (~bei~) him(self), and after eating (he has eaten) it up,
he sits down and enjoys a smoke. 6. The last arrival (~Ankömmling~)
is a snail, all out‿of breath. Poor creature, she has‿to carry her
own house with [herself], from‿which (~wovon~) she has gotten a (the)
stitch‿in‿her‿side! No wonder (~Wunder~) that she is the last! 7. Then
the ant proposes (~vorschlagen~) a dance (~Tanz~), the cricket begins
to play, and the others dance merrily, except the snail (excepted,
~ausgenommen~), who is not used to whirling‿around rapidly and
easily gets dizzy. 8. But alas! In the middle of the (~mitten im~)
first dance they are interrupted by Mrs. Toad, to whom the toadstool
properly (~eigentlich~) belongs. 9. She is coming home late from a
visit (~Besuch~) at (~bei~) her cousin’s, where they have drunk so
much coffee and eaten so much cake that it has grown dark meanwhile
(thereover). 10. And how she berates the innocent (~unschuldig~)
