my friends i want to offer you a present. one of you can ask what he wants but the other who asks nothing will have he present twice over
as both of them wanted to have the present twice over there arose a quarrel
at last the miser said well i stall ask first but you will pay for it for me
the miser asked for the loss of one eye his wish was immediately carried
out one became a one-eyed man and the other became blind
