action
Zazubi is a young sorcerer's apprentice who lives in his workshop with two journeymen and a magician. Although he would like to do magic like a journeyman, Zazubi has to do auxiliary work. Since Zazubi seems a bit naive, he is doing badly. Once he pulls a girl by the hair, not knowing that the magician is behind the girl, and receives a slap on the face. Another time he puts out a fire when the two journeymen are trying the "how-to-become-a-flaming-fire" trick. Zazubi emulates the magician and practices his magic tricks every day. But his tricks often fail, which means that the two journeymen often make fun of him.
One day the master goes on a business trip. Zazubi, however, has to stay at home and dust it off, even though he would have loved to go along. Angry, he goes to work. As he sits down in the master's rocking chair, exhausted, he bumps into a bookshelf, whereupon a magic book falls from the shelf and opens at his feet. Curiously, he flips through the magic book and discovers a spell that can be used to dust off books in no time at all. After initial difficulties, he utters the magic words. As if by magic, the books suddenly swing back and forth, spread their book covers like wings and fly through the room, whereupon the dust separates from the books and falls to the floor. Little by little, more and more magic books are flying in the air. The situation gets out of hand and Zazubi sinks into the dust. When he yells for help, the master suddenly appears and with a counter-saying brings the books back to their original place. After he has cleared up the chaos, he instructs Zazubi that it is necessary to always know the appropriate counter-phrase when doing magic, and finally takes the sorcerer's apprentice on his business trip.
backgrounds
The sorcerer's apprentice , a ballad by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , in which the sorcerer's apprentice does magic in the absence of the master, is soon no longer able to cope with the situation and the master has to rush to his aid, served as the template for this magic story .
