'I'll behave well. Goodbye, mother.' 'Goodbye, Hans.' Hans comes

to Gretel. 'Good day, Gretel.' 'Good day, Hans, What good thing

do you bring?' 'I bring nothing, but would have something given.'

Gretel presents Hans with a calf. 'Goodbye, Gretel.' 'Goodbye,

Hans.'

Hans takes the calf, puts it on his head, and the calf kicks his

face. 'Good evening, mother.' 'Good evening, Hans. Where have you

been?' 'With Gretel.' 'What did you take her?' 'I took nothing,

but had something given me.' 'What did Gretel give you?' 'A

calf.' 'Where have you the calf, Hans?' 'I set it on my head and

it kicked my face.' 'That was ill done, Hans, you should have led

the calf, and put it in the stall.' 'Never mind, will do better

next time.'

'Whither away, Hans?' 'To Gretel, mother.' 'Behave well, Hans.'

'I'll behave well. Goodbye, mother.' 'Goodbye, Hans.'
