[Cz-L] Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind ...

"Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind dann leben sie noch heute"

  We lived on German tales , and all Grimm tales end with the
 very old saying :
  " If they have not died since, they must be living today " .
    This is a very old german saying and comes from the German folklore.
  It was evening and we sat by the fire in the stove , the tale was of
german forests
  and Rumpelstiltzchen, or Dornroeschen or Schneewittchen and other
   weird stories , and mother closed the book and said :
  " Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind...."
      And we went to sleep breaking our head : " Have they died or have they
not ?"
