The farmer answered “Baarftgaans”, what the dealerhowever wrongly as “bark cock” understood and the farmer a stately price paid, without looking into the bag. At home arrived, he wanted to show its wife the Birkhähne just acquired, but when he opened the bag, three owls fluttered outsideand caused all kinds of damage in the dwelling of the buyer. The buyer sued thereupon the farmers. This said however to his defense, it clearly “Baarfgaans” sold and the fact that owls went barefoot, can one to him did not abstreiten.
