==== Third Trick: The Tailor ==== [[File:Max und Moritz (Busch) 029.png|thumb|Sawing through the bridge planks (third trick)]] The boys torment Bรถck (or "Buck" in the English version), a well-liked tailor who has a fast stream flowing in front of his house. They saw through the planks of his wooden bridgelet, making a precarious gap, then taunt him by making goat noises (a pun on his name being similar to the zoological expression 'buck'; in the English version, they use his name for a straight pun), until he runs outside. The bridge breaks; the tailor is swept away and nearly drowns (but for two geese, which he grabs a hold of and which fly high to safety). Although Till removes the planks of the bridge instead of sawing them, there are some similarities to Till Eulenspiegel (32nd History).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/?id=5&xid=229&kapitel=33&cHash=b7aed406c5eulen32#gb_found|title=32nd history of Till Eulenspiegel|access-date=2010-08-02|language=de}}</ref>
