这一篇在1917年写成的第一人称的故事,很短。故事出发点是奥地利帝国战争期间最艰苦的一个冬天中的真实情况:缺煤。叙事人提着空木桶去寻找火炉用煤。路上,木桶像一匹马一样驮着他,竟把他驮到了一座房屋的第二层;他在那房屋里颠簸摇摆得像是骑着一匹骆驼。煤店老板的煤场在地下室,木桶骑士却高高在上。他费尽力气才把信息传送给老板,老板也的确是有求必应的, The story of the first person written in 1917 is very short. The starting point of the story is the real situation during the most difficult winter in the Austrian Empire War: Coal shortage. The narrator carried an empty wooden bucket to find coal for the stove. On the way, the cask looked at him like a horse and he was dragged to the second floor of a house where he jolted like a camel. The coal store owner’s coal yard is in the basement, and the cask rider is above. He tried his best to send the information to the boss, and the boss did ask for it.
