Yes," he sighed, "if the bell in Wimmelburg had not been melted in the last fire, the bell through which God, the good Father, cured every sick person who heard its tones, there might be help for my poor wife; or, if it is not all a fable, of the great treasure which the monks buried in Sittichenbach, and we could find it; or, if it is true about the hidden treasure in Eisleben, that only he can find who can watch four-and-twenty days and nights without closing his eyes.

Who acts: web, God, sick person, bell, great treasure, we · What happens: sigh, not melt, cure, hear, be, monk · To what, where: bell, last fire, sick person, tones, help, fable · Speech: someone speaks here
