- Einmal traf sie im Schulhausgang den mageren Maxli vom Muserhöfli. Er weinte. Sie fragte, warum er weine, und er berichtete schluchzend, der Lehrer habe ihm einen Chlapf gegeben und ihn vor die Tür gejagt, weil unter seinem Sitzplatz Kuhmist sei. „Ich musste vor der Schule noch den Kühen misten und hatte keine Zeit mehjr, die Schuhe zu putzen“, stotterte er.
