Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Es war einmal ein kleiner Funke. Das war ein großer Erzhallunke. Er sprang vom Herd und wie zum Spaß Gerade in ein Pulverfaß. Das Pulverfaß, das knallte sehr; Da kam so fort die Feuerwehr Und spritzte dann mit Müh und Not Das Feuer und das Fünkchen tot.
