When the year was up, Anthony Waidlinger drove his two oxen with a sullen air into my stable, and said: 'Now you may cut off your fur and have a pillow made from it for your wife. 'I need not cut off my beard for that purpose, I replied; 'it may be my wife's pillow even while it hangs down on my breast.
One of my friends, Anthony Waidlinger, the rich Amselwirth, asks me: 'Well, Andy, would you like to wear as long a beard as that? 'Why not? I reply merrily. Ah, exclaims Anthony, laughing, 'you must not talk so saucily. You must not wear so long a beard. Your wife will not permit it, Andy! This makes me very angry; I start up, and hardly know what I am doing. 'What! I cry, my wife?
Therefore consider the matter well, Andy, for there is time yet. Admit that you will not win the bet, for two oxen are at stake! 'I have already considered everything, I say: 'and as for the two oxen, they will be just what I want. A year hence you will bring them to me, Anthony Waidlinger. And this prediction was fulfilled.
