Rampo receives an invitation to a detective game from none other than E. A. Poe. He's indifferent at first, until Poe reveals what the reward would be should he win.
He cut the string, collected it, 
and disposed of it.
.ثمّ قطع الخيط وسلّه وتخلّص منه
Den Faden hat er durchgeschnitten,
eingesammelt und beseitigt.
Entonces, cortó el hilo y dispuso de él.
Entonces, cortó el hilo
y se deshizo de él.
Enfin, il a coupé le fil,
l’a récupéré et jeté.
Ha tagliato il filo,
 l'ha recuperato e l'ha buttato.
Então corta o fio, 
recolhe-o e livra-se dele.
Потом обрезал, забрал
нить и избавился от неё.
