| German | English | |
| Storch: | Hallo. | Hello. |
| Frosch: | Hallo. | Hello. |
| Storch: | Ich suche Breitmaulfrösche. | I am looking for wide-mouthed frogs. |
| Kannst du mir sagen, wo ich welche finde? | Can you tell me where I can find some? | |
| Frosch: | Warum suchst du denn ausgerechnet Breitmaulfrösche? | Why are you looking for wide-mouthed frogs of all frogs? |
| Storch: | Ich bin ein Storch und fresse Breitmaulfrösche. | I am a stork and eat wide-mouthed frogs. |
| Frosch: | Och, die gibt's hier aber nicht. | Oh, but there aren't any here. |
| Hab' ich hier noch nie gesehen... eh... | Have never seen any here... eh... | |
| Da brat mir doch einer 'nen Storch*... hähä... oh... | Someone fry me a stork... hehe... oh... | |
| * | This German idiom is actually a cry of astonishment | |
| whenever we experience something which is incredibly | ||
| new for us. However, in this context the wide-mouthed | ||
| frog means it literally. | ||
