Minne riennät, puroseni?

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Minne riennät, puroseni?
"Alas laaksoon."
Pidättele juoksuasi!
"Joku toinen kerta."

Mikä sinua sinne alas vetää?
"Hei, en kai minä koskaan pysy paikallani?"
Etkö tahtoisi levätä ja miettiä?
"Kyllä, mutta vasta tuolla järvessä."

Vihaatko maata?
"Minulla on kiire."
Kyllä sinäkin vielä pysähdyt!
"Aivan niinkuin sinäkin."
