There it happened that ram (after other Remme), its best hunters of one, to which Vorbergen hunted, which pursued castle against fall, and a game. Soon however the mountain became too steeply, therefore the hunter stood off from his Ross, bound it to a tree and hastened after the game to foot. Its horse staying rammed impatiently and scratched with the front hooves on the reason. When his Mr., who hunters ram, returned from the pursuit of the game, he saw surprised, as its horse had worked and had aufgescharrt with the feet a beautiful erzgang.
