The parson preaches from this text, and a peasant tests it by giving the parson a cow, which brings all the parson's cows back home with her [K366.1.1]. A quarrelarises over the cows and it is agreed that the man who can say »good morning» to the other first shall keep the cows [k176]. The peasant is the first on the spot and becomes witness to a scene between the parson and his housekeeper. When the parson notices what has happened he lets the peasant keep the cows.
