Rhubarb Maid (Jonish: Metarunner, meh-tah-ruh-ner) is a Jonish-language children's book published by Alois Rosenberg in 1879. The book's story is debatable, although the premise is largely clear.

== Plot ==
The story is based in a farm in Lolland, circa 1880. A maid begins to show an interest in rhubarb, specifically the purple stalks of the Rheum plants. After a large storm, the rhubarb crops are destroyed, devastating the woman. Looking for something to replace the crop while the rhubarb plants regrow, she begins searching the surviving crops. After expressing disgust following her tasting of the other crops, she becomes depressed. However, the rhubarb finally grows back, making the maid happy.
