Harm-1:
The knight Heinrich von Nüweäch has a dog named Harm. When the emperor learns of the dog, he sends to have him tested. The knight is reluctant, although a big reward is promised. Then he rides to the court. Harm is tested and defeats all other dogs – at last twelve greyhounds. The emperor is very angry that all his dogs are defeated, but is mollified after a while. The knight is rewarded and returns gaily.
