Re: [Cz-L] herunterrutschen and Ein Hund

Gary,
 " Ein Hund "well known German children revolving never ending song:

1.
Ein Hund kam in die Küche und stahl dem Koch ein Ei,
da nahm der Koch den Löffel und schlug den Hund zu Brei.

2.
Da kamen viele Hunde und gruben ihm ein Grab
und setzten ihm ein' Grabstein, auf dem geschrieben stand:

3.
Ein Hund kam in die Küche und stahl dem Koch ein Ei,
da nahm der Koch den Löffel und schlug den Hund zu Brei.

Translation:
  Dog comes into kitchen, steals an egg from cook,
  Cook takes a laddle and beats the dog to mash,
  And there came many dogs , and digged a grave for dog,
    And put on top a gravestone on which was written so:
  From the beginning
   Hardy
