Ja, natürlich habe ich nicht nur den Link geschickt sondern auch nachgelesen wo es war, und das steht da sogar sehr genau:
The soldiers were accustomed to say that four words formed the basis of the Polish language,--kleba? niema; "bread? there is none;" voia? sara; "water? they have gone to draw it."
As the Emperor was one day passing through a column of infantry in the suburbs of Mysigniez, where the troops endured great privations since the bad roads prevented the arrival of supplies, "Papa, kleba," cried a soldier. "Niema," immediately replied the Emperor. The whole column burst into shouts of laughter, and no further request was made.
Item, damit bin ich wohl an der Reihe ein neues Quiz zu machen, folgt demnächst, aber heute habe ich noch zuviel anderes zu tun was ich nicht verschieben kann.
Honi soit qui mal y pense
