Once upon a time there was a cook named Grethel who likes to wear red heels, that when out of the house always feel free and have a very good feeling. When he returned home again, he always drank a glass of wine to freshen up, and when the wine gave her appetite, she will eat the best food of whatever was cooking until she felt quite satisfied. For that he always says: "A cook must know any taste".
One day the master said to him, "Grethel, I await the arrival of guests on this night, you have to set up a pair of chicken dishes".
"Of course sir" answered Grethel. Then he cut the chicken, clean it and then pluck the feathers, and when dusk, he is a chicken roasting in the fire until done. When chickens began to brown and almost done baking, the guest has not arrived.
"If the guest does not come quickly" said Grethel to his master, "I have to pull out the chicken from the fire, a pity if we do not eat it now just when the chickens are almost ready." And the master said he himself will run to invite his guests. When his master began to turn around, Grethel take the chicken out of the fire.
"Standing so long by the fire," said Grethel, "makes us hot and thirsty, and who knows if they will come or not! while I would go down to the storage room and take a drink. "So he ran down, picked up a mug and said," This is it! "with a big gulp. "A good drink is appropriate not wasted," he said again "and should not be ended quickly," so he took a big gulp back. Then he went upstairs and put the chicken on the grill fire back, put butter. Now that smell very unpleasant, Grethel said, "I have to know if it tastes as good as it smells," She started licking her fingers and said again to myself, "Yes .. the chicken was very tasty, too bad if there are no people here that eat them! "
So he looked out the window to see whether the host and his guests had arrived, but he did not see anyone who comes so he returned to the chicken. "Oh, the wings begin to burn!" And said, "Should I eat that part." Jadia he cut the roast chicken wings and began to eat it, it feels really good, and then he thought,
"I should cut the wings of the other one, so that my master would not realize that the grilled chicken wings adjacent to lose." And when both wings have been eaten, she went back to look out the window to look for his master, but there is still no one came.
"Who knows if they will come or not? they may spend the night at the inn. "After a moment's thought, he said again" I have to make myself happy, and the first time I had to drink a delicious and then eat a delicious meal, all these things can not be wasted. "Jadia him run to the storage room and took the drinks were very large, and began to eat the chicken with a sense of great enjoyment. When all was finished, and the master is still yet to come, eye Grethel leads to cock them again, and said, "What is gained by a chicken one, must be obtained also by another chicken, it's not fair if they do not receive the same treatment ; perhaps while drinking I could finish the other chicken. "So he took a large gulp back and started eating chicken the other.
Just when he was eating, he heard his master came. "Fast Grethel," master shouted from outside, "the guest is coming!" "Good lord," he replied, "the food is ready." The master went to the dining table and take a carving knife that had been prepared to cut the chicken and began to sharpen , At that time, the guest comes and knocks on the door with the smooth. Grethel ran out to see who was coming, and when he passed by the guest, she put her finger on his lips and said, "Hush! quickly run out of here, if my master catches you, it will bring bad consequences for you; he was invited to eat, but actually he wants to cut your ears! Listen, he's sharpening his knife! "
The guest, listening to the sound of knives sharpened, turned away as soon as possible. And Grethel shouted to his master, "the guest was going to bring something out of this house!".
"What happened, Grethel? What do you mean? "he asked.
"He's gone and made away with two pieces of chicken I had prepared earlier."
"It is a bad thing!" Said his master, he was fond of the grilled chicken; "He might want to leave one for me to eat." And he called his guests and told him to stop, but the guests as if it did not hear him; The master then began running after her guests with the knife still in his hand and shouted, "only one! only one! "he intends that the guests at least give him a roast chicken and do not carry both, but the guests thought that she wanted one ear, so he ran faster and faster toward his house alone.
