Also known as

Anglais qui gravit une colline mais descendit une montagne
Az angol, aki dombra ment fel és hegyről jött le
Der Engländer, der auf einen Hügel stieg und von einem Berg herunterkam
Der Engländer, der auf einen Hügel stieg und von einem Berg herunterkam
El ingles que subio una colina pero bajo una montana
El ingles que subio una colina pero bajo una montaña
