Media today 16

Reading: Otfried Preußler, Der kleine Wassermann, ch. 14

Listening, Der kleine Wassermann (Hörspiel), 1:05-1:16; Albert E. erklärt unsere Sinnesorgane, 18:00-30:00. 




At 18:46 there's a sweet spot where Albert is talking about how even in the case of very uncomplicated creatures like the earthworm, the brain is all-important:


Selbst der Wurm würde ohne sein Wurmgehirn ziemliche Wurmprobleme bekommen und beim Wurmen ganz unwurmig umwurmen, aber hallo!


("Without its worm brain, even the worm would have serious worm problems and would, while worming, worm around very unwormily, let me tell you!")


3 reps requested amid great hilarity.


At 27:25 begins the story of Michael, a little boy who lost his sight in an accident. J bombarded me with questions during this story, especially about the accident. Nothing is said about the particulars, so I paused the recording and we had a long speculation about how such a thing might happen.
