*The Project Gutenberg Etext of Hans Huckebein by Wilhelm Busch*
******This file should be named 2322-8.txt or 2322-8.zip******


This etext was prepared by Michael Pullen, globaltraveler5565@yahoo.com.

Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
copyright notice is included.  Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.


We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.

Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.  To be sure you have an
up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
in the first week of the next month.  Since our ftp program has
a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
new copy has at least one byte more or less.


Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-six text
files per month, or 432 more Etexts in 1999 for a total of 2000+
If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the
total should reach over 200 billion Etexts given away this year.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only ~5% of the present number of computer users.

At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we
manage to get some real funding; currently our funding is mostly
from Michael Hart's salary at Carnegie-Mellon University, and an
assortment of sporadic gifts; this salary is only good for a few
more years, so we are looking for something to replace it, as we
don't want Project Gutenberg to be so dependent on one person.

We need your donations more than ever!


All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/CMU": and are
tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.  (CMU = Carnegie-
Mellon University).

your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement

you can distribute copies of this etext if you want to.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-
tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor
Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at
Carnegie-Mellon University (the "Project").  Among other
things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.

To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE

If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
time to the person you received it from.  If you received it

copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may

          author, and additional characters may be used to
          indicate hypertext links; OR

     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent

Inhalt

Hans Huckebein, der Unglücksrabe.
Das Pusterohr.
Das Bad am Samstag Abend.





Hans Huckebein, der Unglücksrabe.


Hier sieht man Fritz, den muntern Knaben,
Nebst Huckebein, dem jungen Raben.

Und dieser Fritz, wie alle Knaben,
Will einen Raben gerne haben.

Schon rutscht er auf dem Ast daher,
Der Vogel, der mißtraut ihm sehr.

Schlapp! macht der Fritz von seiner Kappe
Mit Listen eine VogelKlappe.

Beinahe hätt' er ihn!  Doch ach!
Der Ast zerbricht mit einem Krach.

In schwarzen Beeren sitzt der Fritze,
Der schwarze Vogel in der Mütze.

Der Knabe Fritz ist schwarz betupft;
Der Rabe ist in Angst und hupft.

Der schwarze Vogel ist gefangen,
Er bleibt im Unterfutter hangen.

"Jetzt hab' ich dich, Hans Huckebein!
Wie wird sich Tante Lotte freun!"

Die Tante kommt aus ihrer Tür;
"Ei!" spricht sie, "welch ein gutes Tier!"

Kaum ist das Wort dem Mund entflohn,
Schnapp! hat er ihren Finger schon.

"Ach!" ruft sie, "er ist doch nicht gut!
Weil er mir was zuleide tut!!"

Hier lauert in des Topfes Höhle
Hans Huckebein, die schwarze Seele.

Den Knochen, den er Spitz gestohlen,
Will dieser jetzt sich wieder holen.

So ziehn mit Knurren und Gekrächz
Der eine links, der andre rechts.

Schon denkt der Spitz, daß er gewinnt,
Da zwickt der Rabe ihn von hint'.

O weh!  Er sprint auf Spitzens Nacken,
Am ihm die Haare auszuzwacken.

Der Spitz, der ärgert sich bereits,
Und rupft den Raben seinerseits.

Derweil springt mit dem Schinkenbein
Der Kater in den Topf hinein.

Da sitzen sie und schaun und schaun.--
Dem Kater ist nicht sehr zu traun.

Der Kater hackt den Spitz, der schreit,
Der Rabe ist voll Freudigkeit.

Schnell feßt er, weil der Topf nicht ganz,
Mit schlauer List den Katerschwanz.

Es rollt der Topf.  Es krümmt voll Quale
Des Katers Schweif sich zur Spirale.

Und Spitz und Kater fliehn im Lauf.--
Der größte Lump bleibt obenauf!!--

Nichts Schönres gab's für Tante Lotte
Als schwarze Heidelbeerkompotte.

Dock Huckebein verschleudert nur
Die schöne Gabe der Natur.

Die Tante naht voll Zorn und Schrecken;
Hans Huckebein verläßt das Becken.

Und schnell betritt er, angstbeflügelt,
Die Wäsche, welche frisch gebügelt.

O weh!  Er kommt ins Tellerbord;
Die Teller rollen rasselnd fort.

Auch fällt der Korb, worin die Eier--
O jemine!--und send so teuer!

Patsch! fällt der Krug.  Das gute Bier
Ergeißt sich in die Stiefel hier.

Und auf der Tante linken Fuß
Stürzt sich des Eimer Wasserguß.

Sie hält die Gabel in der Hand,
Und auch der Fritz kommt angerannt.

Perdums! da liegen sie.--Dem Fritze
Dringt durch das Ohr die Gabelspitze.

Dies wird des Raben Ends sein--
So denkt man wohl--doch leider nein!

Denn--schnupp!--Der Tante Nase feßt er;
Und nochmals triumphiert das Laster!

Jetzt aber naht sich das Malör,
Denn dies Getränke ist Likör.

Es duftet füß.--Hans Huckebein
Taucht seinen Schnabel froh hinein.

Und läßt mit stillvergnügtem Sinnen
Den ersten Schluck hinunterrinnen.

Nicht übel!--Und er taucht schon wieder
Den Schnabel in die Tiefe nieder.

Er hebt das Glas und schlürft den Rest,
Weil er nicht gern was übrig läßt.

Ei, ei!  Ihm wird so wunderlich,
So leicht und doch absunderlich.

Er krächzt mit freudigem Getön
Und muß auf einem Beine stehn.

Der Vogel, welcher sonsten fleucht,
Wird hier zu einem Tier, was kreucht.

Und Übermut kommt zum Beschluß,
Der alles ruinieren muß.

Er zerrt voll roher Lust und Tücke
Der Tante künstliches Gestricke.

Der Tisch ist glatt--der Böse taumelt--
Das Ende naht,--sieh da! er baumelt!

"Die Bosheit war sein Hauptpläsier,
Drum", spricht die Tante, "hängt er hier!"





Das Pusterohr.



Hier sitzt Herr Bartelmann im Frein
Und taucht sich eine Brezel ein.

Der Franz mit seinem Pusterohr
Schießt Bartelmann ans linke Ohr.

Ei, Zapperment--so denkt sich der--
Das kam ja wohl von unten her!

Doch nein--denkt er--es kann nicht sein!
Und taucht die Brezel wieder ein.

Und--witsch--getroffen ist die Bretzen,
Herrn Bartelmann erfaßt Entsetzen.

Und--witsch--jetzt trifft die Kugel gar
Das Aug', das sehr empfindlich war.

So daß dem braven Bartelmann
Die Träne aus dem Auge rann.

Ei, Zapperment--so denkt sich der--
Das kommt ja wohl von oben her!--

Aujau! er fällt--denn mit Geblase
Schießt Franz den Pfeil ihm in die Nase.

Da denkt Herr Bartelmann: Aha!
Dies spitze Ding, das kenn' ich ja!

Und freudig kommt ihm der Gedanke:
Der Franz steht hinter dieser Planke!

Und--klapp! schlägt er mit seinem Topf
Das Pufterohr tief in den Kopf!

Drum schieß mit deinem Püftericht
Auf keine alten Leute nicht!





Das Bad am Samstag Abend.



Hier sieht man Bruder Franz und Fritzen
Zu zweit in einer Wanne sitzen.

Die alte Lene geht;--und gleich
Da treibt man lauter dummes Zeug.

Denn Reinlichkeit ist für die zwei
Am Ende doch mur Spielerei.--

Jetzt will der Fritz beim Untertauchen
Nur seinen einen Finger brauchen.

Natürlich läuft ihm was in Ohr,
Dem Franz kommt dieses lustig vor.

Das ärgert aber Bruder Fritzen,
Drum fängt er an den Franz zu spritzen.

Doch der mit seiner großen Zehe
Tut Fritzen an der Nase wehe;

Dafür taucht Fritz den Kopf ihm nieder,
Was so im Wasser sehr zuwider.

Franz aber zieht an Fritzens Bein;
Der zappelt sehr und kann nicht schrein.

In Mund und Auge, zornentbrannt,
Greift jetzt die rachbegier'ge Hand.

Die Wanne wird zu enge
Für dieses Kampfgedränge.

Perdatsch!!--die alte, brave Lene
Kommt leider grad zu dieser Szene.

Sie spricht voll Würde und voll Schmerz:
"Die Reinlichkeit ist nicht zum Scherz!!"

Und die Moral von der Geschicht':
Bad zwei in einer Wanne nicht!
