Excerpt from Der Zerbrochene Krug: Novelle The following charming and simple story is edited ex pressly for early and easy reading. In recent years a great number of excellent texts have been added to our resources in German; but of those especially adapted, in style and editorial treatment, for very easy reading the list is still quite limited. To that list the present edition is intended to belong. The text is very simple, both in matter and in style. The Notes aim to give such help as young students not quite beginners should need. The Vocabulary is adapted to the same grade, presuming a knowledge of only the simplest and most regular grammatical forms. The Paraphrases for retranslation are, like the text, simple and easy; yet the teacher still more the student will not fail to see that they include many suggestive turns of phrase and construction. Purposely, for convenience of selection or of review, these exercises are divided under each section into two parts. The mode of using them or whether to use them at all - will, of course, be determined by teachers themselves.
