On his way to Köln Hick picks up a raven and sells it in this town for a high price as a soothsayer to a superstitious innkeeper. Back at Lieberhausen Hick's neighbours are getting jealous of the new-richness. Tired of their impertinence, Hick tells them that he got an enormous amount of money in exchange for his cowhide in Köln. His credulous neighbours do not hesitate one moment to kill all their cows and to follow his example. But to their disappointment they don't even get a fair price for their skins. The angry dupes are now going to kill Hick. They decide to shut him up in a barrel, to transport him to the borders of the river Rhine and to roll the barrel in the waters to drown him. But before getting to work, they take a drink in an inn near the waterside. | On his way to Köln Hick picks up a raven and sells it in this town for a high price as a soothsayer to a superstitious innkeeper.

As his neighbours are coming back to Lieberhausen, mighty proud of their work, they find that their adversary is already there and with a very fine flock of sheep too. The greedy dupes are getting impertinent once again and want to know, where he got his sheep. Hick tells them that he found them on the bottom of the Rhine. Now everybody at Lieberhausen wants to secure himself a great part of the wealth, so they go to the waterside of the Rhine again and there leap into the waters and drown themselves up to the last man and woman. Hick and his family inherit all the possessions of the drowned people and are the ancestors of the future population of Lieberhausen. | As his neighbours are coming back to Lieberhausen, mighty proud of their work, they find that their adversary is already there and with a very fine flock of sheep too.
