With great strength, I grind everything at once. I have one neck but two heads that I bind together, and I use my head as feet.

I do not claim strength from my entire body, but I'm always ready to fight with my head. My head is large, and it carries all my weight.

Hung from my foot upon my head I go, and on the ground I leave my head-prints so; but my misfortunes many comrades know.

A mighty tooth am I, 'neath the Eastern skies. Through other lands, in many shapes I rise. No strength remains, but still my charms they prize.

Though two, I'm one; two stones together lie. And one's as lazy as the other’s spry; one moveth not, the other up and down doth ply.

The gander's foot resembles mine, I agree; and yet, not two but many here you see. All laid out flat, I carry them with me.
