Listening: Ingo Siegner, Der kleine Drache Kokosnuss und die Reise zum Nordpol, 0:00 - 30:30; Otfried Preußler, Die kleine Hexe, 1.50 - 2.08 (end).
At J's request, this is our third time through the Kokosnuss story in less than a month. It takes the harmless narrative world of Hans de Beer's Little Polar Bear series and adds some Darwinian realism, to greatly humorous effect. Half the plot revolves around Björn the polar bear's craving for seal meat, which the three friends are very ambivalent about, and how things play out when they run into Rudi the seal.
There's a sweet spot at about 29:00 where Oskar, trying to buck Björn up in the face of his adversaries, two bully-bears named Keule and Beule, delivers the following bit of bluster:
"Ich habe eine Idee," sagt Oskar. "Wir gehen da jetzt hinaus, und dann kriegen diese beiden Gummibärchen aber so was von auf die Mütze, dass sie 'Alle meine Entchen' im Quadrat singen!"
That had J in stitches and he wanted me to replay it several times. Then he started threatening me: "Papa, wenn du das so weitermachst, kriegst du so was von auf die Mütze, dass du 'Alle meine Entchen' im Quadrat singst!"
I don't know what "im Quadrat singen" means. "As a quartet"? If any reader knows, please leave a comment!
