Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage, sentence 8

The sausage had only to watch the pot to see that the food was properly cooked, and when it was near dinner-time, he just threw himself into the broth, or rolled in and out among the vegetables three or four times, and there they were, buttered, and salted, and ready to be served.
