German To English.

I have a little novelty clock which has on the dial an illustration by Ars Sacra. Some of the words and or letters have been worn away by people winding the clock and moving the hands. This is what is left: "Wohn mit--Korbien--apfeln schwer? Zu dir die Stadt! Wir haben noch mehr." The dashes indicate missing letter or words; there is an umlaut above the o in Korbien. The picture is of a little girl holding a basket of apples looking at some flowers. Using Google, I got the following meanings for the German Words" "living with ? apples heavy to you in the city we have more." Can anyone make any sense of this?

Maybe that should have been "Guten Abend..."?

Shaney is absolutely right.

[Ellipsis]

Stimmt. Vielen Dank. Tschüß!

[stuey]

Was is das, ellipsis. I think the final letter in the final word indicates two esses?

[stuey]

And "dank" means "thanks", or some form of it.

[Ellipsis]

Right. Many thanks. Bye!

Well ,we certainly got some interesting mileage out of the post: Sehr gut.
