1. The mini car and
the Mercedes
"Toot, toot, tooot, go away to the side you tiny
nothing!" boasts the Mercedes and pasting the Mini.
"Oh, you big braggart, you mean that because you're
bigger, you'll reach your goal faster than me, but
just wait!"
When the Mini comes into town, he just manages to find
a parking space. Since it is small, it has room almost
anywhere.
Then the Mercedes comes scolding because he hasn't
found a place for a quarter of an hour. "See! Now I'm
at my destination first!" laughs the Mini mockingly.
2. The hare and the rabbit
"Oh, that brown hare has a nicelife! He doesn't have
to sit in a cage." In winter it snowed and the hare
looked for food, the rabbit got his food and was
happy. In autumn it was hunting season and the brown
hare was killed. The rabbit was glad that he had food
and his peace from the hunters.
3. The wild bull
The bull once saw an ox leisurely eating its fresh
hay. The ox said: "You filthy stinker, you're only
roaming around all day." - "You're doing well," sighed
the bull and went his way. Two days later, the ox was
slaughtered. Then the bull said: "Better not to eat,
but living free."
4. The one who laughs last, laughs best: the rabbit
as a fox
Once two rabbits met, one was clever and one was
stupid. Both wanted to take part at the rabbit ball
dancing festival. To do this, they had to be in
costume. The clever rabbit showed off and said:
"You're much too stupid, you can't sew a costume!" The
stupid hare, however, sewed himself a fox costume.
When he entered the hall, the clever hare was so
frightened that he ran up and away. The stupid rabbit
had the best costume and won the 1st prize.
[Moral: The façade that seems clever is often not so
intelligent].
5. The titmouse and the eagle
"Ha, you are small and squeamish, not like me, I am
tall and strong!" said the eagle to the titmouse. Then
the two flew into a crevice. The eagle could not go
out because it was too big. "Even smallness has its
good sides," said the titmouse, and flew out of the
crevice.
6. The bat
"I'm tired of being here in the old tower," thought a
small, cheeky bat and flew away!
She had been flying for a long time, but suddenly she
was attacked by a dangerous disease! She fell on the
ground and fell asleep.
The next morning a mole came by and thought, "What a
strange animal! It is apparently sick! I'm going to
get the birds now, because I'm sure it's some kind of
bird!" But the birds said, "No, that's not a bird.
Look those teeth! Like a rat! May the rats take care
of him!" and they flew away. But the rats said, "No!
He has got a fur! Like a squirrel! May they take care
of him!" and they left. But the squirrels also said:
"No, he has wings! May the birds take care of him."
And so the bat died.
[Moral: If you always find a reason NOT to help, then
many die].
7. The giraffe and the sparrow
"You can't fly," the cheeky sparrow mocks the giraffe.
One day, an offspring of the sparrow mom falls out of
the nest. The giraffe carefully returns it to its
mother. From then on, the two are friends.
8. The fox and the elephant
"Ha, ha, ha! But you're small and weak," the elephant
grumbled superiorly. The fox didn't mind and continued
walking. A few days later, the two met again. The
elephant moaned: "I'm thirsty!" - "Run after me," the
fox directed. They came to a high fence and behind it
was a pond. The fox said, "I will go to the pond now
and satisfy my thirst there." The fox slipped through
a small hole. "Now you'd be glad to be small like me,"
laughed the fox and ran away.
[Supplement: What is missing here is that the elephant
simply tramples down the fence and also gets to the
pond].
9. The truck and the mini car
The truck had a fit of laughter when he saw the
frightened mini car. "I want to show him who I am," he
said and was racing with over 100km per hour. The
pussy cat only saw the exhaust of the show-off, but
not for long, because a large cloud of dust settled
before his eyes.
When the pussy cat came to the next intersection, he
saw with great astonishment that the monster was
crushed by a car and hanging on a traffic sign. "Now
comes the hour of revenge," thought the mini car,
trotted gleefully past the monster and left it
ruthlessly hanging in its helpless state.
[Moral: Drive slowly - I want to get to my destination
quickly].
10. Hedgehogs and deer
"You spherical prickler," mocked a deer, "look at me,
I'm tall and slim. But you - - - " it didn't get any
further, because suddenly a wolf came and tore the
deer into pieces. The hedgehog, however, had quickly
hidden itself and set up its spines. When the wolf was
gone, the hedgehog thought: "I have nothing against my
spines!"
[Moral of the story: Beautiful people are more likely
to be in danger than not so beautiful people].
11. The wolf and the farm dog
"Is this still a life at all? Always on a chain?"
asked the wolf mockingly. But the farm dog did not
reply. But then, winter came. The wolf starved to
death.
Later, his body was found. The farm dog thought:
"Actually, it's quite nice here. As a wolf, I
certainly wouldn't have survived the winter."
12. The wild boar and the domestic pig
"Oh, how good it is for you," says the wild boar on a
beautiful, sunny winter afternoon, standing in front
of the cell and seeing the domestic pig being fed by
the farmer. "You don't have to look for food like I
do. I have to find them on my own." Then the pig only
laughed scornfully.
But after a few days, the wild boar notices in horror
how the pig is being slaughtered.
"Oh, now I'd rather get my own food, I'm sure of
that," she thought.
So every convenience has its two sides.
[Moral of the story: Being wild is survival - don't
accept food from an executioner].
13. The sparrow and the vulture
When the sparrow was pecking at its food, a starving
vulture watched it. "I'll get this small, cheeky
sparrow," he thought to himself. The vulture pounced
like lightning on the sparrow. But he was nimble and
attentive and avoided it. The vulture only hit the
ground instead of the sparrow. "Oh, now you can see
for yourself how to get out of this hole," said the
sparrow gleefully and flew onto a branch. By chance, a
person passed the wriggling vulture and pulled it out
of the ground. The vulture thanked him and looked for
the sparrow. Soon he found it and ate it up.
Moral of the story: You should never be gloating.
14. About the boasting river
"You must take my name now," said the great river to a
brook that flows into it, and to many others. Now it
is already quite a large river. There... suddenly he
sees a river almost twice as large, a real stream. The
river screams: "Y... you m... must a... accept m... my
n... n... n... name!" -
"Nonsense!" roars the stream, "the bigger one gets to
keep its name, that's all!" - "Serves you right," the
brooks are shouting, "you shall have no better
treatment than we suffered!" and they are splashing on
happily.
15. The fleas and the dog
"Come, Egon, we will annoy the dog there," said one of
them, and jumped hand in hand with the other flea on
the dog's head. He tried to shake her off, but
couldn't. Then he jumped into a pond quite
surprisingly quickly. The fleas could no longer save
themselves. Soon they had drowned miserably. "That's
what you get out of annoying clever people!" cried a
fish, and swam away. [The fish may have eaten the dead
fleas to clean the pond of waste].
[Moral of the story: Life is for learning, not for
playing pranks].
16. The camel and the toad
"Get away, you stupid toad!" said a camel to a toad.
"Yes ... immediately!" it replied anxiously. The camel
thought, "That's just right." It continued in a very
friendly way: "Would you like to go far away with me?"
- "No, I'm too offended for that! First I should get
out of your way and then go with you far away?! No, go
alone!" replied the toad sharply.
Snooty the camel trotted away alone.
After three days, it arrived in the desert, half
thirsty. Then a pack of hungry lions came and in no
time at all the camel was eaten.
[But there are no lions in the desert...]
[Moral of the story: Take enough water for trips in
the desert - or turn desert into forest -
link].
17. The monster and the lapdog
"Ugh, I've never seen a beast like you," the lapdog
barked. "You won't see me for much longer", the
monster replied and ate the puppy without further ado.
[Moral of the story: Never forget the humor when
complaining, otherwise the other side will have no
humor either].
18. The electric locomotive and the steam
locomotive
"You're a stupid, dirty thing. You can't even go as
fast as I can, and anyway, you are not needed that
often," the electric locomotive mocked the steam
locomotive. The steam locomotive was very sad.
When there was a power blackout, the electric
locomotive was on a long journey. It stopped in the
middle of a trip on rails. The steam locomotive had to
tow the electric locomotive, and when they arrived
back at the next station, the electric locomotive said
to the steam locomotive: "You have helped me great,
and I am very grateful to you. I take back my
insults."
19. Bus against VW
"You small and useless VW, get out of the way!" says
the powerful bus. Suddenly, the bus drives up to the
VW and shouts: "If you can't hear, you have to feel!"
The bus drives over the VW without damaging it,
because the distance between the roof of the VW and
the floor of the bus was too large to touch the VW.
The bus, which could no longer brake at this speed,
drove into a wall of a shopping center.
Moral:
1. The bigger is not always the strongest. [And:
2. The braking distance also depends on the weight].
20. The big and the small train
"I would also like to have people inside me one day,"
said the little train. The big trian just said:
"You're too small for that!" - "Bet that I will have a
person inside me at least once?" - "All right, I'm
against it." The little train was just crossing a
bridge when a tramp got on. When the little train got
home, the big train saw the tramp in the little train.
The little one just said: "Won!"
Moral: Never underestimate the value of the smaller
one.
21. The big car and the small car
A big car is driving on the road and sees a small car
driving around in the playground. Then the big car
thinks: "Oh, how nice it must be to drive around on a
playground like that!" But then the big car sees the
small car being taken apart by children and thinks: "I
think I'd rather drive around on the road than be
taken apart one day."
[Moral of the story: Every life has its surprises].
22. The dog - and the crocodile
Once upon a time, when a dog was running along the
river and drinking at the same time, it met with a
crocodile. He said to the dog, "Drink quietly, dear
dog, but not quickly."
But the dog answered, "Yes, you're right, it's not
good to do both at the same time, but... isn't it
worse that I feel your tooth in my flesh?" -
"Oh, you are a clever old dog! I admire your memory
because you are so clever and do not follow the advice
of your enemy!"
[Moral of the story: With certain people, every offer
can also be a bad joke].
23. The sparrow and the swallow
“Oh,” says the swallow, ”you've got a nice life! You
can spend the winter here and I have to go to Africa.
I'm staying here this year!” - “I wouldn't stay here
as a swallow!” said the sparrow. The swallow stayed
despite the warning. When the freezing winter came, it
froze to death and the sparrow laughed.
Moral of the story (m.o.t.s): If you don't want to
hear, you have to feel.
[Another moral of the story: In unexpected situations,
you have to survive with improvisation, flexibility
and solidarity].
24. The bear and the fox 1
Once the bear and the fox met. Both were very hungry.
The bear said: “Hello, fox! Do you have any food for
me? Or do I have to taste you?” - “But Sir!” cried the
fox, ”You know what? We'll make a teamwork. I'll track
down the deer and you can catch it!”
Soon the fox had flushed out a stag. The bear ran
after it and caught it. But tired from the run, he
immediately fell asleep. The fox was delighted and
first killed the bear and then ate the stag.
[Moral of the story:
1. Never fall asleep during a hunt - and:
2. Always do important things YOURSELF].
25. The bear and the fox 2
“You're a coward if you don't steal a chicken from the
farm!” grumbled the bear. “Good,” said the fox and
crept to the farm. He had already grabbed a chicken
and was running towards the forest when the farmer
came with his shotgun and hit the fox in the leg. The
bear laughed and said, “You can't even steal a
chicken!” and took the chicken. But the farmer shot
again and killed the bear. The fox said: “Who laughs
last, laughs best!”
[Moral of the story: Justice works when it works. The
instigator gets the harshest punishment].
26. The gorilla and the chimpanzee
“Fuck off, the banana tree is mine now, and if you
don't like it, I'll beat you!” says the gorilla to the
chimpanzee.
The next morning, the gorilla falls from the banana
tree and sprains his leg. Now he can no longer climb,
and if no one helps him, he will starve to death. The
chimpanzee sees the misfortune and comes to his aid.
He feeds the gorilla until he is lively again. “Why
did you feed me like that when I took the banana tree
away from you?” the gorilla asks the chimpanzee. The
chimpanzee replies: “I may not be as strong as you,
but I have a good heart and I hope you've learned
something from this!”
[Moral of the story: you learn until 3 days before you
die].
27. The two moles
"May I spend the winter in your cave? I can't find
any," one mole asked the other. "No, I only have room
here for myself! Find a cave for yourself!" he
answered. Sadly, the first mole went away. Then the
merciless mole wanted to return to his burrow. He was
shocked to see that it was buried by earth. In the
meantime, the other animal had found a cave. Sadly,
the merciless mole came running and begged: "Please,
let me sleep in your den. I'm sorry I chased you
away." - "Well, I think who doesn't [?], lonely," said
the merciful mole, and they went happily into the
cave.
[Mistake: It seems strange that a mole can no longer
find its cave if there is some earth on it, or it
could just dig a new cave, that's its talent].
28. The captive hare and the free hare
"You are fat and round," said the free hare to the
captured hare. But he answered: "But you have to look
for your own food, and you are also spindly." -
"Better thin than stewing in the pan," replied the
free hare, and hopped away. Later he saw from the
forest that the farmer was going into the kitchen with
the captured hare to slaughter it.
Moral: "Never let yourself be caught!"
[Never accept the food of a butcher].
[Moral der Geschichte: Hilfe kommt manchmal von
unverhoffter Seite].
29. The wolf, the beaver and the chickens
"Will you come to dance with me, you chickens?" asked
the wolf the chickens.
"And make yourselves beautiful!" - "Yes," said the
chickens.
"May I come with you?" asked a little beaver.
"No," the chickens clucked down on the beaver.
Now everyone was standing in front of a beautiful
saloon. The chickens went in. But that was a painted
wall, because the chickens were locked in one half.
The "egg layers" did not like the beaver very much.
But the beaver had followed on a detour. The wolf lit
a fire and wanted to take a chicken [to roast and eat
it]. Then the beaver intervened and tied up the wolf.
Now everything was saved and the chickens made friends
with the beaver.
[Moral of the story: Sometimes Help comes from the
unexpected side].
30. Fox and camel
The fox was caught by a caravan [in the desert]. Then
he met a camel and said to it: "Listen! If you help me
to get free here, you have one wish free." The camel
didn't need to be told twice and whispered to the fox:
"Good, I'll do that! You have to go all the way to the
front first. I stay behind and start to behave wildly.
Then you can get away. We'll meet at the oasis." And
so it happened. When they met, the camel said, "Well,
I wish I never had to carry anything again!" - "Ha,
ha! Did you think I would be a magician?" laughed the
fox and was about to run away. But now the camel
roared very loudly. Immediately, the drivers arrived,
saw the fox and grabbed him.
[Moral of the story:
1. Don't make deals with stupid people. And:
2. Don't make impossible promises].
