So that when a Gipsy maiden named Forella once died, her entire nation, among whom the trout had always been known only by its German designation, Forelle, at once changed the name, and, to this day it is called by them mulo madscho the dead fish, or at times lolo madscho the red fish. This is also the case among the English Gipsies.
