From: "H.-Walter Butschalowsky" <Butschalowsky at gmx.de>
Subject:  Riddle

Moin, moin

my other attempt of a Dutch translation:

   Er kwam uit Egypte een kleine man,
   hij had een jas uit duizend lappen aan,
   Knokig was zijn gezicht, heel klein maar,
   Had een kam bij zich toch ongekamd haar.

…tentative Swedish translation:

     Från Egypten kom en gubbe liten,
     klädedrakten sin var ganska sliten.
     Ansiktet var benigt och ögonen små,
     han hade en kam men okammad hår ändå.
