About 3 minutes. About this story Ludwig Bechstein (1801–1860) collected and retold German folk tales in his Deutsches Märchenbuch of 1845, for a time more widely read in Germany than the Grimms' collection. This text comes from a 1907 selection of his tales for young readers, in its original nineteenth-century German: you will see daß, today written dass. Grammar in this story: sprach (the storyteller's simple past of sprechen, "said", often placed after the words: „…“ sprach der Fuchs) 4. „Das ist ein hungriges Wetter,“ sprach der Fuchs zum Hasen, „mir schnurren alle Gedärme zusammen.“ -- „Ja wohl“, antwortete der Hase. (“This is hungry weather,” said the fox to the hare, “my intestines are all shriveling up.” -- “Indeed it is,” answered the hare.) 9. sprach der Fuchs, „lege dich der Länge nach hin und stelle dich tot. Das Mädchen wird seinen Korb hinstellen und dich aufheben wollen, um deinen armen Balg zu gewinnen, denn Hasenbälge geben Handschuhe; derweilen erwische ich den Semmelkorb, uns zum Troste.“ (said the fox, “lie down at full length and play dead. The girl will put her basket down and want to pick you up to get your poor pelt, for hare skins make gloves; meanwhile, I'll snatch the basket of rolls for our comfort.”) 15.
