But on the way, he took a piece of cheese and a lark with him and arrived at the giants' place with his many things and the piece of cheese and the lark. The giants said, “We have come back to wrestle with the strongest; no one has yet defeated us!” Then the journeyman said, “Well, then, I will wrestle with you!” “That will end badly for you!” said one of the giants. Then the tailor said, “Show us your strength and what you can do!” So the giant took a stone and crushed it between his fingers. Then he took a bow and an arrow and shot the arrow into the air, so that it took a long time to come down again. “Now you shall see my strength! If you want to wrestle with me, you must come up with something else.” The tailor took a small stone and secretly covered it with some cheese, and when he pressed it with his fingers, the cheese squirted out. Now he said to the giant, “I can squeeze water out of the stone, and you can't!” This made a strong impression on the giant, that someone else could do something he couldn't. Then the tailor also took a bow and arrow, but while he was shooting, he let the lark fly up unnoticed; it did not come back. Then he said to the giant, “Your arrow has come back down, but I shot mine so high that it won't come down!” The giants were surprised that someone stronger than them had been found, and they said to him, “Won't you be our comrade?” He agreed. He was small, but he was a good addition. So they took him into their company, and he stayed with them for a while. But it was still terrible to them that there was someone stronger than themselves, and once, when he was lying awake in bed, he heard them decide to kill him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Aber auf dem Wege nahm er sich zu allem übrigen noch mit ein Stückchen Käse und eine Lerche und kam nun mit seinen vielen Sachen und dem Stück Käse und der Lerche bei den Riesen an. Die Riesen sagten: Wir sind wieder da, um mit dem Stärksten zu ringen; uns hat noch keiner bezwungen! - Da sagte der Geselle: Nun, dann will ich einmal mit euch ringen! - Das wird dir schlecht ergehen! - meinte ein Riese. Da sagte der Schneider: Zeige doch einmal deine Stärke, und was du kannst! - Da nahm der Riese einen Stein und zerrieb ihn zwischen seinen Fingern. Dann nahm er einen Bogen und einen Pfeil und schoß den Pfeil in die Luft, daß er erst nach langer Zeit wieder herunterkam. - Da sollt ihr meine Kraft einmal sehen! Wenn ihr mit mir ringen wollt, so müßt ihr mit etwas anderem kommen. - Der Schneider nahm einen kleinen Stein und überzog ihn heimlich mit etwas Käse, und als er mit den Fingern drückte, da spritzte der Käse heraus. Nun sagte er zu dem Riesen: Ich kann aus dem Stein Wasser herauspressen, und das kannst du nicht! - Das machte auf den Riesen einen starken Eindruck, daß der noch etwas anderes konnte als er. Dann nahm der Schneider auch einen Pfeil und Bogen, aber während er schoß, ließ er unvermerkt die Lerche hinauffliegen; die kam nicht wieder. Da sagte er zu dem Riesen: Dein Pfeil ist wieder heruntergekommen, aber ich habe so hoch geschossen, daß er gar nicht mehr herunterkommt! - Da waren die Riesen überrascht, daß sich noch ein Stärkerer finde, und sagten zu ihm: Willst du nicht unser Kamerad werden? - Er willigte ein. Klein war er zwar, aber es war doch ein guter Zuwachs. So nahmen sie ihn in ihre Kameradschaft auf, und er blieb eine Zeitlang bei ihnen. Aber es war ihnen doch ungeheuerlich, daß noch ein Stärkerer da war als sie selbst, und als er einmal wachend im Bette lag, hörte er, wie sie beschlossen, ihn zu töten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":366,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/108/1908-12-26/p006"}],"english":["GA 108/1908-12-26/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":366,"en_words":352,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9517,"original_word_count":9482,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Answers Provided by Anthroposophy Concerning the World and Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA108/English/SOL2024/19081226p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
