In the days of Cockaigne, I went out and saw Rome and the Lateran hanging by a slender silken thread, and a footless man who outran a swift horse, and a keen-edged sword that cut a bridge in two. Then I saw a young donkey with a silver nose chasing two fleet hares, and a broad linden tree on which hot flatcakes grew. Then I saw a scrawny old goat carrying a hundred wagonloads of lard on her back and sixty wagonloads of salt. Is that not a pack of lies enough? Then I saw a plough ploughing without horse or oxen, and a one-year-old child threw four millstones from Regensburg to Trier and from Trier into Strasbourg, and a hawk swam across the Rhine: and he had every right to do so. Then I heard fish raising such a quarrel among themselves that the noise rang up to heaven, and sweet honey flowed like water from a deep valley up a high mountain; those were strange happenings. There were two crows mowing a meadow, and I saw two gnats building a bridge, and two doves tearing a wolf to pieces, and two children who gave birth to two kids, while two frogs threshed grain together. Then I saw two mice consecrating a bishop, and two cats scratching out a bear's tongue. Then a snail came running and slew two wild lions. There stood a barber shaving a woman's beard, and two nursing infants told their mother to hold her tongue. Then I saw two greyhounds carrying a mill out of the water, and an old worn-out nag stood by and said it was quite right. And in the yard stood four horses threshing grain with all their might, and two goats heating the oven, and a red cow slid the bread into the oven. Then a hen crowed, 'Cock-a-doodle-doo, the tale is told and through, cock-a-doodle-doo.'
