Schreiber, Eßlingen und München [Illustration] Der König der Tiere will Hochzeit machen, Drum bringen die allerappetitlichsten Sachen Die Scharen der Tiere zum Feste herbei, Indem sie streiten mit großem Geschrei Wer wohl am besten von allen könnt kochen – Denn der wilde Löwe hat ihnen versprochen, Wer ihm brächte den leckersten Hochzeitsschmaus, Den rief er zu seinem Hofmarschall aus! [Illustration] Als erster voll Würde der Klapperstorch naht, Der Froschpastete bereitet hat. Einen Kessel mit Leipziger Allerlei Bringt ihm das Schweinchen grunzend herbei. [Illustration] Den feinsten Distelsalat Bereitet der Esel auf kunstvolle Art. Meister Petz nahm wilden Honig aus Und backte Honigkuchen draus. [Illustration] Meerwasser bringt der muntere Fisch Als Limonade für des Königs Tisch. Der Seehund naht und schwingt seine Flosse, Im Maul hat er Hecht mit Meerrettichsauce. [Illustration] Rote Grütze konnte (ihr müßt nicht lachen) Aus gestohlenen Kirschen das Spätzchen machen. Der Hund zeigt, wie man aus alten Knochen Eine vorzügliche Brühe kann kochen. [Illustration] Eine große Pfanne voll Spiegelei Bringt gackernd die weiße Henne herbei. Die Kuh will sich auch als Köchin versuchen, Drum fertigt sie Schlagrahm und Käsekuchen. [Illustration] Der Has' überreicht – wer rät es wohl? – Eine Schüssel »famosen Jägerkohl«. Der Fuchs, der schlaue Geselle, Bringt eine gebratene Gans zur Stelle. [Illustration] Seht da, unsern Igel, den Rittersmann, Er bringt Leberwürste aus Schnecken an. Aus grünem Klee und roten Rübchen Kaninchen macht Gemüsesüppchen. [Illustration] Eine Käferspeise, die ihm trefflich geglückt, Hat der Maulwurf appetitlich mit Raupen geschmückt. Eine süße Bowle aus Blütensaft Der bunte Schmetterling zur Stelle schafft. [Illustration] Und so ziehen die Tiere denn alle heran, Und jedes zeigt stolz was es kochen kann; Nur der grimmige Wolf war zum Kochen zu faul, Doch trägt ein geraubtes Schaf er im Maul, Das er soeben der Herde entrissen, Und legt es dem Löwen dreist zu Füßen.

King Lion is getting married! To celebrate, he decides to throw a magnificent wedding feast for all the animals in his kingdom. He sends out elegant invitations, and everyone is thrilled. But here's the twist: each guest, wanting to honor the king in the most fitting way, decides to bring the very same dish—a plump, juicy hare. When the big day arrives, the royal table isn't piled with a glorious variety of foods. Instead, it's stacked high with identical hare after identical hare. King Lion is faced with a mountain of the same gift and a room full of confused and slightly embarrassed animal friends.

Why You Should Read It

This story is a tiny gem. On the surface, it's a simple, funny situation. But it really makes you think about how we try to impress others, and how our good intentions can sometimes lead to comical results. The animals aren't being rude; they're all trying their absolute best! The illustrations (if you get an edition with them) are full of personality, showing the animals' pride as they arrive and their dawning realization of the mix-up. It's a story about community, miscommunication, and the fact that even kings can't control everything.

Final Verdict

This is a book for anyone who loves a clever, timeless fable. It's fantastic for reading aloud to kids—they'll giggle at the pile of hares. But adults will appreciate its quiet wisdom about social blunders and the pressure of tradition. If you enjoy classic children's literature with a touch of gentle humor and a beautiful, old-world feel, you'll find a lot to love in this short tale. It's a little window into a different time, with a message that still rings true today.
