content

Chickens and chickens go up the mountain to eat nuts together. For the way back, Chicken makes a wagon out of nutshells, but doesn't want to pull himself, but harnesses a duck that she wanted to punish for the nut theft. On the way they take a pin and a sewing needle with them as passengers. They stop at a host by promising him an egg and the duck. In the morning they eat the egg, stick the sewing needle in the chair and the pin in the host's towel, and fly away. When the landlord comes out of bed, he washes his face and tears it through the pin in the towel. Then he comes into the kitchen and wants to smoke a pipe, but when he goes to the stove, the eggshells jump in his face. He is angry and wants to sit down in his chair, but the sewing needle sticks him in the buttocks. The duck fled in the night. The landlord is annoyed with his guests and swears never to accept rascals again.

origin

The Schwankmärchen is in the children's and house fairy tales from the 1st edition of 1812 as No. 10. Grimm's comment reads from the Paderbörnischen (probably 1812 by August von Haxthausen ) and names for comparison KHM 41 Herr Korbes , KHM 27 Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten as well Firmenich's German dialects 91. 92 .

parody

In Janosch's parody, Hahn and Henne sneak a seat on the tram, steal an old man's beer and make their way home in a taxi that they don't pay for. It also appeared as an illustrated book and was shown in Janosch's dream hour (episode 7).
