Hinz:
What do you think, Kunz, how big is the sun?

How big, Hinz? Big as an ostrich egg.
Hinz:
You know that for sure!
The sun like an ostrich egg!

What do you think then, how big is it?

So big, listen, as a cart filled with hay.

One can hardly believe that this is possible;
damn it all, as a cart filled with hay!
