about a thousand or more years ago, there were in this country nothing but small kings, and one of them who lived on the keuterberg was very fond of hunting. once on a time when he was riding forth from his castle with his huntsmen, three girls were watching their cows upon the mountain, and when they saw the king with all his followers, the eldest girl pointed to him, and called to the two other girls, "if i do not get that one, i will have none." then the second girl answered from the other side of the hill, and pointed to the one who was on the king’s right hand, "hilloa! hilloa! if i do not get him, i will have no one."
