Der böse Geist Lumpazivagabundus oder Das liederliche Kleeblatt

Comedy

The evil spirit Lumpazivagabundus says of Fortuna, the goddess of fate: "My true followers don't care much for her. If luck comes their way once, they throw it out the window, and if it comes again, they trample it underfoot." Fortuna isn't about to take this lying down. She intends to prove the opposite through three mortals: the tailor Zwirn, the carpenter Leim, and the shoemaker Knieriem. They win 100,000 thalers in the lottery. And now Fortuna's bet stands.
