[00:00.00]"Cross your arms over your chest, [00:02.58]and don't move. [00:03.90]You must pretend to be dead," he told her. [00:06.29]Then he lay down beside her, [00:07.82]crossing his arms over his chest. [00:09.84]And so they lay and waited. [00:13.65]Meanwhile, as soon as Matenko had left the [00:15.54]palace with his purse of coins, [00:17.68]the King hurried to his wife's chamber [00:19.56]to tell her that the old jester's wife had died [00:23.02]"But, my dear, you must be mistaken," [00:25.92]said the Queen. [00:26.84]"It is the jester, [00:28.18]not the jester's wife who is dead." [00:31.02]Then they began to quarrel about [00:32.38]which one of them was right. [00:33.93]In the end, [00:34.74]they agreed to go to the jester's cottage [00:36.29]to find out. [00:39.18]When they knocked and walked into the little [00:40.63]cottage they found the candles lit, [00:43.11]the purses on the sideboard [00:44.83]and Matenko and Wanda, [00:46.46]who were obviously dead. [00:48.79]"But which of them died first?" asked the Queen [00:52.26]"It must have been Matenko." [00:54.84]"No, it must have been Wanda," said the King. [00:58.26]They began to quarrel again, [00:59.53]when Matenko jumped up from the bed and said, [01:02.87]"Your Majesty, my wife died first, [01:05.32]but I was dead before her." [01:08.19]When they had recovered from their astonishment [01:10.16]the King and Queen were too happy to see [01:11.54]the old couple still alive to be really angry. [01:11.54]
