L. Burr told Stevens:"I recollect in particular, he was studying German. He looked up and said:'Here is a curious thing: the Germans have no word for "timble", they call it a "finger hat" (Fingerhut). And they have no word for "glove", they call it a "hand shoe" (Handschuh).' And then came one of Mr. Lincoln's inimitable laughs."

Your prize is a "German survival kit": a German lesson by Mark Twain, an online course "How to be German in 20 easy steps", and a tin of sauerkraut.
