Genghis Khan replied: "Once, before I ascended the throne, I was riding along a road and I came on six men who lay in ambush by a bridge, waiting to attempt my life.
Dschingis-Khan antwortete ihm: »Bevor ich den Thron des Reiches bestieg, ritt ich einmal auf einer Straße daher. Da stieß ich auf sechs Männer, die beim Übergang über eine Brücke im Hinterhalt lagen und mir nach dem Leben trachteten.

She didn't sense him coming up until his hands clamped her waist—then she wheeled like an ambushed cat and jammed the clothespin into his teeth.
Daß er sich herangeschlichen hatte, merkte sie erst, als sich seine Hände um ihren Leib schlossen. Wie eine hinterrücks angegriffene Katze fuhr sie herum und stieß ihm die Wäscheklammer in die Zähne.
