Context examples:
If it were a pig now—like that fat gentleman you are driving along at his ease—one could do something with it; it would at any rate make sausages.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
The bird’s duty was to fly daily into the wood and bring in fuel; the mouse fetched the water, and the sausage saw to the cooking.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
He had not flown far, however, when he came across a dog who, having met the sausage, had regarded him as his legitimate booty, and so seized and swallowed him.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
So now the bird set the table, and the mouse looked after the food and, wishing to prepare it in the same way as the sausage, by rolling in and out among the vegetables to salt and butter them, she jumped into the pot; but she stopped short long before she reached the bottom, having already parted not only with her skin and hair, but also with life.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
Then the smell of the sausages reached the wolf, and he sniffed and peeped down, and at last stretched out his neck so far that he could no longer keep his footing and began to slip, and slipped down from the roof straight into the great trough, and was drowned.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
In front of the house was a great stone trough, so she said to the child: “Take the pail, Red-Cap; I made some sausages yesterday, so carry the water in which I boiled them to the trough.”
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
The sausage started in search of wood, the bird made the fire, and the mouse put on the pot, and then these two waited till the sausage returned with the fuel for the following day.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
The sausage had only to watch the pot to see that the food was properly cooked, and when it was near dinner-time, he just threw himself into the broth, or rolled in and out among the vegetables three or four times, and there they were, buttered, and salted, and ready to be served.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
The bird complained to the dog of this bare-faced robbery, but nothing he said was of any avail, for the dog answered that he found false credentials on the sausage, and that was the reason his life had been forfeited.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
I knew the other clerks and young bond-salesmen by their first names and lunched with them in dark crowded restaurants on little pig sausages and mashed potatoes and coffee.
(The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald)
