"'But why have I to put it in?'

Well, they also do like that, only my sister and the soldier kiss and kiss; so that it takes them a long time to do it.'

"'Of course; only just at the end my sister always tells him to mind and not finish it in her, so that he may not make her a child. So now, if you wish to be my good friend—as you say you want—push it in—with your fingers, if you can't otherwise; but pay attention and don't finish in me, because you may make me a child.'
