“Sie sprach: Vorzeiten sprach man: Wer fragen will, der frage zu Abel; und so ging's wohl aus.”

“Then she spoke, saying, "They were used to say in old times, 'They shall surely ask counsel at Abel;' and so they settled it.”

“Et elle dit: Autrefois on avait coutume de dire: Que l`on consulte Abel! Et tout se terminait ainsi.”
