- Oft machen sie Grimassen, dann dreht sich das Weiß ihrer Augen und Schaum schwillt aus ihrem Munde, doch wollen sie damit weder etwas sagen, noch auch erschrecken; sie tun es, weil es so ihre Art ist.
- Often they make grimaces, then the white of their eyes turns and froth rises out of their mouth, but neither do they want to say something with this, nor do they want to scare; they do it because such is their way.
