“Püsti tõustes kuulnud suurt sulpsatust järve peal, nagu oleks suur kivi vette visatud. Ilus naesterahvas olnud korraga kadunud. Seal kus ta püsti tõusis, vahutanud järve vesi ja ajanud pullisid vee peale.”

When he got up, he heard a big splash on the lake, as if a big stone had been thrown into the water. The beautiful woman had suddenly disappeared. Where she stood, the water of the lake foamed and drove bubbles onto the water.

“Kesk tuba seisab pisikene laud, sääl pääl üks pesuwaagen kuhjaga täis seebiwahu pullisid, Aurora ülesse kääritud käistega ühel ja mina niisamuti teine pool lauda, wõtame käpuga neid wahu pulla ja wiskame teine teisele suure naermisega pähä ja kus aga juhtub, nõnda, et wahune wesi juba sorinal mööda silma-nägu ja riideid maha jooseb, aga ka mõni wahututt juuste, ninade ja õlade külge rippuma on jäänud, mis meile nii weidrad näud annab, et proua ja preili ennast selle üle katki tahawad naerda.”

In the middle of the room there is a small table, on it there is a wash basin full of soapy foam bubbles, Aurora with her sleeves rolled up on one side and me on the other side of the table, we pick up the foam bubbles with our hands and throw them at each other's heads and wherever else with a big laugh, so that the foamy water already runs down our eyes, faces and clothes, but also some tufts of foam are left hanging on our hair, noses and shoulders, which gives us such strange faces that the lady and the missus want to burst laughing at us.
