Here you have el conte dels músics de Bremen, en anglès:
Once upon a time, there was a man who had a donkey
that, after years and years of hard work, was now old and unable to do the same
than years ago. The man decided to get rid of the donkey. The donkey knew that,
and decided to escape going to the city of Bremen.
When the donkey was arriving to Bremen, he knew a dog
that was complaining on the floor. The donkey asked what was happening to him,
and the dog said “As I am old and I can’t hunt, my owner has hit me, and I’ve
escaped from his house”.
The donkey and the dog decided to start travelling
together and set up a music band, and they followed the way to Bremen. They
were walking by the path, when they found a cat. The donkey asked him what was
happening, and the cat said that his owner didn’t want him because he was old
and he didn’t hunt mice.
The cat joined them, and they continued walking about
their band and what would they do in Bremen.
But suddenly... “KIKIRIKIIIIIIIIIII!!”. It was a
cockerel that said “My owner wants to cook me and serve me tomorrow with sauce
and potatoes to her guests!”
The donkey said “Join our music band, and come with us
to Bremen”. The cockerel liked this idea, and the four animals went to Bremen.
The night came, and they decided to sleep in the forest.
But the cockerel jumped to a tree, and he saw a little light that was shining
not very far from where they were. “I see the light of a house”, said the
cockerel.
So all the musician animals decided to go to that
house, which was actually a hide-out of thieves.
When they arrived, the donkey watched trough the
window and saw a table with a great source of food and drink, and three thieves
that were sitting around that table.
The animals started to deliberate the way to make the
thieves left the home, and they found it: first, the donkey would be next to
the window. Then the dog would jump to the back of the donkey. After that, the
cat would climb and go on the back of the dog, and finally the cockerel would
fly to the cat’s head.
Having done this, all of them started to sing, making
a lot of noise. When the thieves heart that, they felt frightened and ran away
through the forest, because they thought that the noise was done by a ghost.
When the thieves had left the home, the four animals
came in, and ate all the food from the table. After having
dinner, the animals went to sleep because they were very tired.
At midnight, the thieves returned to the home to
inspect it and see who had frightened them hours ago.
The thieves went to the kitchen. There, the cat
scratched their faces. The thieves started to run, but they tripped over the
dog, that bit their legs. Finally when they went across the patio, the donkey
kicked them and the cockerel shouted his “song”: KIKIRIKIIIII!!!
Those men thought that inside the home there were a
witch and a monster, and since then they didn’t go to the house nevermore. Meanwhile,
the four Bremen’s musicians felt so comfortable in the house that they never
left it. They were very famous in Bremen, and sang around the world in many
concerts.
Imatges: la primera, m'ha fet un flash a la memòria, recordant-me que de petita vaig veure aquesta sèrie o pel·lícula a la TV. La segona, és la portada de la versió del conte que roda per ca nostra. I la tercera, és d'una escultura dels animals d'aquest conte.
