action
The young employee and husband Krause has to go to the office on the day when his heavily pregnant wife is about to give birth to their first child together. Krause's cheeky sister, a cheerful person who is always in the mood for funny ideas, is instructed by him to call him immediately when the new citizen is to be born. In fact, the phone in Krause's office will soon ring: it's time! Krause has become the proud father of twins, says the sister. And so that his mood is really lightened, the little sister presumably holds the receiver very close to the newborns, who promptly trumpet their loud baby cries into the receiver.
Krause can hardly contain himself with happiness and rushes home in the company of his colleagues to take a look at the two bundles of joy. But they don't know anything there, and no confinement is expected before evening. The baby cry turns out to be an idea notorious for her pranks from Krause's sister, who had imitated the voices through the listener. A little later there is another call to Krause's office. This time the sister announces the birth of a boy. Forewarned in this way, Krause no longer believes in the truth of this call. But this time the happy news is true, and Krause's sister immediately takes a photo of the tiny screamer, has it developed quickly and sends a print to her brother. He now has every reason to celebrate the happy event with his colleagues over a glass of wine.
