Bedin and Bedina were picking hazelnuts in the forest. Bedin was very stubborn. He wanted to be first today too. (If I pick hazelnuts very fast in may bag, then my sister is going to pick only those which I won’t see.) Bedin was very fast but his bag was full of holes. His sister was picking hazelnuts which were dropping out of Bedin’s bag. She had a bagful but he didn’t. Bedina said to him : “It is time to go home. Mum will be mad !” Bedin didn’t want to go home yet, because he also wanted to have a bagful of hazelnuts.

Bedina begged her brother but nothing helped. Then she said : “If you don’t go, I will call the wolf to eat you.” The wolf comes and says to Bedina : “Ooo ! I won’t kill poor Bedin !” Then Bedina : “If you don’t want to eat him, then I will send for the stick to beat you !” The stick respond : “Ooo, I will not do that !” She threatens the stick : “If you don’t want to do that, then I will send for the fire, to set you on fire !” The fire said : “Ooo, I don’t want to do that !” Bedina said : “If you don’t, then I will call the water to put you out.” She threatens the water : “You could wait that I send for an ox and then the ox will drink you.” The ox refuses Bedina : “No I won’t drink the water.” Bedina : “O.K. if you won’t, I will call the butcher to slay you.” The butcher answers promptly : “It will be great but you don’t give orders today.” She replied : “I can’t hang you, but ropes can.” However the ropes disagree : “Pretty girl, you can’t command this.’ Bedina orders them : “If you don’t want to hang the disobedient butcher, I will send for mice. They will gnaw through you.” Mice also disobey : “Ooo, little Bedina, this is too much for us.” At last Bedina wasn’t able to keep her filings away. She shouts outs out : “If you don’t do that, I will bring a cat.” A cat immediately came to catch the mice. The mice ran to gnaw through the ropes. The ropes were frightened, so they hurried to hang up the butcher. But he hurried to kill the ox, which hurried to drink the water, which put out the fire which burned the stick. The stick hurried to beat up the wolf and the wolf ran after Bedin, but he started running as fast as he could. And so Bedin and Bedina were home. I don’t know what they are doing now, because I didn’t run after them.
