A children’s illustrated story in verse, which tells of the mischievous adventures of Max and Moritz who play pranks on several of the local residents.
This video shows the first two ‘tricks’ they play on Widow Tibbets and her chickens (three hens and a cockerel).
“To most people who have leisure
Raising poultry gives great pleasure:
First, because the eggs they lay us
For the care we take repay us;
Secondly, that now and then
We can dine on roasted hen;
Thirdly, of the hen’s and goose’s
Feathers men make various uses.
Some folks like to rest their heads
In the night on feather beds…”
The full tale, which includes their ultimate demise, can be found here:
