Janoschs Traumstunde

Once upon a time there was a very big crocodile Once upon a time there was a very big crocodile who had a very small son. The big crocodile was very strong, fierce, mean to others and strong. The little crocodile was always happy, lying in the grass all day, letting the sun shine on his belly. And the father did not like that. Such a son was a disgrace for him. So the little crocodile set off for the zoo in Iglau. Oh, dear snowman Behind the house of the railroad official Mr. Brumski there was a snowman named Willi. Willi Snowman! He liked it there, because there was a lot for him to experience. Sometimes a dog went by. Every day the rooster crowed. Seven ravens came from the sky and told him stories. He liked the railroad trains best of all. When the snowman accepted an invitation to little Lea's birthday, stayed too long in the heated room, and floated away, the head forester said to his daughter, "I think he's just out of town. Trains he liked so much."
