content

Illustration by Rudolf Schiestl ( She burned herself from morning to evening and gave her husband, the long Lenz, so much work that he had to carry more than a donkey with three sacks. )

Liese works hard and also plagues her husband, the long Lenz. In the evening in bed she wonders if she could find a guilder and get one as a present, and if she borrowed another and got one from him, she wanted to buy a cow. He is happy that he would then have milk. She complains that the milk is for the calf. He presses her on the pillow until she sleeps.

origin

The marriage fluctuation is at Kirchhoff No. 371. A woman is willfully beaten . Wilhelm Grimm invented the names Liese and Lenz, whose heated temperament the narrator contrasts with KHM 164 Der lazy Heinz . The verbatim speeches have been embellished: and if you stand on your head, you won't get a drop of milk. You long spring ... you insatiable, you rope, you lazy Heinz. In the original the beating scene dominated, with a final morale:

Quarrel about that you don't have
Puts gwissen pain instead.
