Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began? Here's the story.
Back in the olden days, a man was travelling by foot through Switzerland.
Nightfall was approaching, and the man had nowhere to sleep. He went up
to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer
told him that he could sleep in the barn. So the man went into the barn
to bed down, and the farmer went back into the house.
As the story goes, the farmer's daughter came downstairs and asked her father,
"Who was that man going into the barn?"
"That's some fellow travelling through," said the farmer. "He needed a place to stay for the night, so I said that he could sleep in the barn." The daughter then asked,
"Did you offer the man anything to eat"?
"Um, no, I didn't," the farmer answered. The daughter said,
"Well, I'm going to take him some food."
She went to the kitchen, prepared a plate of food, and then took it out
to the barn. An hour later she returned. Her clothes were all dishevelled
and buttoned up wrong, and she had several strands of straw tangled up in
her long blond hair. She immediately went up the stairs to her bedroom and
went to sleep.
A little later, the farmer's wife came down and asked her husband why their
daughter went to bed so early.
"I don't know," said the farmer. "I told a man that he could sleep in the barn, and our daughter took him some food."
"Oh", replied the wife. "Well, did you offer the man anything to drink?"
"Umm, no, I didn't," said the farmer.
The wife then said, "I'm going to take something out there for him to drink. "
The wife went to the cellar, got a bottle of wine, then went out to the barn. She didn't return for over an hour, and when she did, her clothes were also messed up, and she had straw twisted into her blond hair. She went straight up the stairs and into bed.
The next morning at sunrise, the man in the barn got up and continued on
his journey, waving to the farmer as he left the farm and walked toward
the mountain. A while later, the daughter woke up and came rushing downstairs.
She went right out to the barn, only to find it empty. She went to her father and said
"Where's the man from the barn?"
Father answered, "He left several minutes ago."
"What?" she cried. "He left without saying good-bye? After all we had together? I mean, last night he made such passionate love to me."
"What?" shouted the father.
The farmer ran into the yard looking for the man, but by now the man
was halfway up the side of the mountain. The farmer screamed up at him,
"I'm gonna get you! You had sex with my daughter!" The man looked
back down from the mountainside, cupped his hands next to his mouth, and
yelled out,
