Der Zaunkönig aber berief alles, was in der Luft fliegt; nicht allein die Vögel groß und klein, sondern auch die Mücken, Hornissen, Bienen und Fliegen mußten herbei.- So war was announced to the bear, and all four-footed animals were called, ox, donkey, ox, stag, deer, and whatever else the earth bears. But the wren called everything that flies in the air; Not only the birds big and small, but also the mosquitoes, hornets, bees and flies had to come.
