Every hen in the coop was paid five Groschen, every bee in the hive 15, and the spider in the loft bagged a full twenty Groshen. And now you tell me, how much did the cat get? | Ten |

In Pschitoky, the remaining boys alighted and took the pedlar's daughter with them. And straight away, two fishermen got in. On reaching Kuttenberg that evening, they invited the coachman to the bathhouse and got drunk. And now you tell me, what was the coachman's name? | Jaromir |
