      Altijd kies ik voor de veilige weg. Mijn specialiteit: het sparen van kool én geit. Mijn ouders hadden een vooruitziende blik toen ze mij Hendrik noemden: veel braver zul je ze niet snel tegenkomen. 'Kent gij Hendrik niet, die altijd zoo beleefd zijnen hoed afneemt als hij voorbij gaat?' Dat ben ik.
      I always choose the safe option. My specialty: saving both the cabbage and the goat. My parents were prescient when they named me Hendrik: you won't find many as well-behaved. "Don't you know Hendrik, who always so politely takes off his hat in passing?" That's me.
