Le lendemain après la visite du matin, et comme il venait d'écarter son lit de la muraille, Dantès entendit frapper trois coups à intervalles égaux; il se précipita à genoux.

Est-ce vous? dit-il, me voilà !

Votre geôlier est-il parti? demanda la voix.

- Oui, répondit Dantès, il ne reviendra que ce soir. - Je puis donc agir? dit la voix.

– Oh! oui, oui, à l'instant même, je vous en supplie. Aussitôt la portion de terre sur laquelle Dantès appuyait ses deux mains sembla céder sous lui, et il vit paraître une tête, des épaules et enfin un homme tout entier qui sortit de l'excavation pratiquée.

Als der König am andern Morgen das Brot schnitt, drang die Klinge des Messers durch den Holzteller und tief in die Tischplatte. Alle Anwesenden waren erstaunt, und der König betrachtete das Messer und sah, dass es neu war.

Goldbrand wurde gerufen.

Weisst du, woher dieses wunderbare Messer kommt ?" fragte ihn der König.

,,Nun, wer anders als Amilias wird es geschmiedet haben?" sagte Wieland.

In diesem Augenblick trat Amilias vor und sagte:,,Ja, Herr König, ich habe das Messer geschmiedet.",,Lügner!" schrie der König, ,,niemals könntest du ein solches Meisterwerk fertigen, das selbst dem berühmten Schmiede Wieland Ehre machen würde."

At last they came to a hill. On the top of the hill was a castle, the windows of which were all open.

There was no one there.

A king sent his son to France in order to see the country and in order to study the language. 'You will stay in France for two years,' he said, and after that you will return to your own country.' The prince departed, and at the end of two years he sent this letter to his father: 'I like France better than England, and I wish to remain here. You are very old and you will soon die; but my brother will be king instead of me. You wish me to be king, but I wish to be free, and to pass my life in this country. Farewell.'

Le lendemain à la même heure, le geôlier rentra. ' Eh bien,' lui demanda le geôlier, 'êtes-vous plus raisonnable aujourd'hui ?' Dantès ne répondit pas. "Voyons donc,' dit le geôlier, un peu de courage! Que désirez-vous?' 'Je désire parler au gouverneur.' 'Eh?' dit le geôlier avec impatience, je vous ai déjà dit que c'est impossible. Si vous m'ennuyez à me répéter toujours la même chose, je ne vous apporterai plus à manger.' Et bien !' dit Dantès, 'si tu ne m'apportes plus à manger, je mourrai de faim, voilà tout.' Écoutez,' reprit le

geôlier d'un ton plus adouci, soyez bien sage, on vous permettra la promenade, et peut-être qu'un jour, pendant que vous vous promènerez, le gouverneur passera: alors vous l'interrogerez, et, s'il veut vous répondre, cela le regarde.'

Or,

Im Lande Seeland herrschte Wate, ein mächtiger Fürst, berühmt durch seine Tapferkeit. Als seine drei Söhne zu Jünglingen herangewachsen waren, fragte der Vater sie, welche Kunst sie erlernen wollten. Da sprach Eigel, der älteste:,,Ich will ein Bogenschütze werden." Der zweite Sohn, Helferich, sagte:,,Ich will ein Arzt werden." Der jüngste Sohn, Wieland, war des Vaters Liebling. Er sagte nachdenklich: Ich möchte ein Schmied werden."

Da lachte sein Vater und sprach: Das hätte ich mir denken können! Wohlan, meine Söhne, ich will euren Wünschen entsprechen."

Nun zogen Eigel und Helferich fort aus der Fürstenburg. Aber den jüngsten Sohn Wieland begleitete der Vater selbst zu Mimer, der ein. berühmter Waffenschmied in deutschen Gauen war. Und Meister Mimer versprach dem Fürsten, aus seinem Sohne Wieland einen tüchtigen Schmied zu machen.
