The rooster threw the nuts down, and the hen picked them up.Then, the rooster threw a nut and it hit the hen right in the eye. The hen walked away, crying. Some noblemen were passing by and asked:
— Hen, hen! Why are you crying?
— The rooster knocked out my eye.
— Rooster, rooster! Why did you knock out the hen's eye?
— The hazel tree tore my pants.
— Hazel tree, hazel tree! Why did you tear the rooster's pants?
— The goats gnawed at me.
— Goats, goats! Why did you gnaw at the hazel tree?
— The shepherds don't take care of us.
— Shepherds, shepherds! Why don't you take care of the goats?
— The mistress doesn't feed us pancakes.
— Mistress, mistress! Why don't you feed the shepherds pancakes?
