Beschrijving
The Forgotten Word. A foolish boy is supposed to fetch something from a merchant (fools want to settle something). So that he will not forget the purpose of his errand, he repeats the word over and over. On the way, he trips and falls down and forgets the word [D2004.5]. He looks in the ground to find the forgotten word (fools think the earth swallowed it, and try to dig it out). A passer-by asks him what he is doing and coincidentally speaks the word. The boy is delighted that the word has been found again.
