關於這個故事

The Bremen Town Musicians is a German folk tale that the Brothers Grimm added to their Children's and Household Tales in the 1819 edition. Four old animals set off to become musicians in the city of Bremen, and on the way they frighten a band of robbers out of their house. In the Grimms' version the owners mean to do away with the old animals; here the donkey, dog and cat are simply no longer wanted, the rooster escapes the soup pot, and the robber is only scratched and bumped.

故事告訴我們

It's never too late to start again, and friends who pull together can do what none of them could manage alone. Being old doesn't mean being useless.

講給孩子聽的小貼士

Let your child make the four animal noises when the friends sing at the window.
Stack four cushions or toys to show how the animals stood on each other.
Ask your child what each animal was really doing when the robber thought he saw a witch, a man, a monster and a judge.
