      Der Junge aber sagte „wenns noch so schwer wäre, ich wills einmal lernen, deshalb bin ich ja ausgezogen.“ Er ließ dem Wirth auch keine Ruhe, bis dieser erzählte nicht weit davon stände ein verwünschtes Schloß, wo einer wohl lernen könnte, was gruseln wäre, wenn er nur drei Nächte darin wachen wollte.
