- 1837, Brothers Grimm, “Die zwei Brüder”, in Kinder- und Haus-Märchen, Band 1, page 370:
- Der Goldschmied merkte gleich wie es gekommen war, und daß die Kinder Herz und Leber von dem Goldvogel gegessen hatten, und um sich zu rächen, und weil er neidisch und hartherzig war, sprach er zu dem Vater „deine Kinder sind mit dem Bösen im Spiel, nimm das Gold nicht, und schick sie fort, denn er hat Macht über sie, und kann dich sonst auch noch ins Verderben bringen.“
- The goldsmith noticed immediately how it had come, and that the children had eaten the heart and liver of the golden bird, and in order to take revenge, and because he was jealous and hard-hearted, he said to the father, “Your children are at play with the evil one. Do not take the gold and send them away, for he has power over them, and otherwise he can bring you to ruin."
