The fable of Filemon Faltenreich or the soccer world championship of flies

Some animals are very large. Elephants, for example. Filemon is such an elephant. He is big and gray and loves to think long and slowly about individual words that sound nice.

Other animals are very small. Flies, for example. There are lots of different flies. They may be small, but they are all the more self-confident. Because they are many and have six legs where other animals only have four. It makes sense that they are the best soccer players in the world - since they have so many more legs than other kickers. Now all they need is a suitable opponent to play in the World Cup. And that's where the big gray trunked animal comes in handy.

With lots of humor and music, Wilfried Hiller has composed a fable based on Michael Ende's text, in which the little ones make it big.
