content
The rich bachelor Joggeli owns a beautiful farm in the Bern region . After the mother dies, the farmer realizes that the housewife is missing. When choosing the right wife, Joggeli fears the mistake. Because he knows that marriageable girls pretend to be in public. Joggeli announces a business trip to the Lucerne area . But he prefers, as tinkers costumes, through the Bern region. In search of his future half of the marriage, Joggeli asks various farms “about perforated pans and broken tiles”. Two girls - Rösi and Marei - show their weekday faces and fail the “Keßler” in-depth test. But then Joggeli finds his Anne. The girl can see that the young man with the soot-smeared face is no tinker at all and sends him away. But then she dreams of him at night. Joggeli comes back freshly washed after a few days and takes Anne home.
Gotthelf's moral: If a tinker came more often, some marriageable girls would behave more well-mannered on weekdays.
