Zwei Gänse
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zur weißen Gans sprach einst vertraulich eine graue:
"Laß uns spazieren geh'n nach jener grünen Aue,
Dort tun wir beide uns im jungen Grase gütlich,
Denn in Gesellschaft [gackt es sich doch gar]1 gemütlich."
"Nein!" sprach die weiße Gans, "Da muß ich refusieren,
Mit meinesgleichen nur geh' ich am Tag spazieren;
Vertraulichkeit mit dir gereichte mir zur Schande,
Zwar bin ich eine Gans, doch eine Gans von Stande!"

Deux oies
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Une fois une oie blanche dit à une oie blanche tout bas :
« Allons marcher sur ces verts pâturages,
Là nous nous régalerons toutes les deux dans l'herbe jeune,
Parce que c'est bon de caqueter en compagnie. »
« Non » dit l'oie blanche, « Je dois refuser,
Le jour, je me promène seulement avec mes égales ;
Être intime avec toi me ferait honte,
Car bien que je sois une oie, je suis une oie d'un certain niveau ! »
