Lügen lachen, denn wenn dies ginge, müssten viele ohne
Nase gehen. ”
Translation:
“Listen, my beloved, at your window, avoid all
strange birds; otherwise, I shall cut off your nose. ”
“Yes, my friend, if they don’t laugh at lies that are too big,
for if that were possible, many would have to walk about without
a nose.”
