Thank you ARTY... smack. Thank you ^Thiefoworld.
/edit

tbh I just got lazy with coloring. TEXTURES~*~*

Apparently in Germany, and Germans feel free to correct me on this because obviously I do not know for certain, they have little... Poems they MIGHT say before eating, sort of like grace. Differs from family to family and region to region ANYWAY THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

The direct translation that does not rhyme is:
Peep, peep, little mouse
Come out of your little house
If you eat my sandwich
The cat will come and bite you dead
Peep peep peep
Enjoy your meal.

idk I guess the death of a little animal is appetizing.
TAUGHT TO KIDS IN KINDERGARTEN (American preschool), which is surprising for a country with such weird censorship laws.

Okay, just going to put this out there. I've only been through one year of learning German so informing me, as helpful as it is, thank you, that the poem is grammatically incorrect is not going to change anything. I honestly cannot remember anything that I learned and we never even got to using adjectives.

Tischspruche by *aquote The suggester said: 'This illustrates a little German mealtime rhyme in an adorable eastern-European style. The overall style and panel layout is very sweet and I'm especially fond of the hand-rendered german type face that serve as captions to the panels.'

Tiny fuzzy mouse! I particularly like the extra-long tail and the cat's ginormahuge eyes.

There's a Korean fable about a frog that does everything backwards. The moral is basically do what your mom tells you, or she will die and her grave with wash away and it will be all your fault.
