Riddle :
Ich hob ihm in der Erd .( I wish him in the ground).
Der Schlag soll ihm treffen .( He should get a stroke).
Soll mir sein far dir. ( I should get it instead of you).
Soll er farchapt wern .( He should be fetched away).
Der Rich soll ihm chappen .( The devil should catch him).
Soll er hobn a Miesse meshine . ( He should have an strange
decease).
One of the above is not a curse !
Find it and you get a medal !
