Christmas is coming. This side want you to give some information about a typical german christmas decoration - the nutcracker!
The nutcracker is found in a lot of little Christmas stories and histories. He plays the most famous leading part in the story of the nutcrackers and the mouse's king from E. T. A. Hoffmann.
Alexandre Dumas' Version of the story was set to music later by Pjotr Iljitsch Tschaikowski and became one of the most popular ballets, which is specified around Christmas. It addresses to children and to adults equally, and it is specified in a lot of theaters regularly.
For the first time in connection with Christmas the nutcracker was mentioned in the 1851 by Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann written picture book " king nutcracker and the poor pure-sweet ".
The history plays to the Christmas. She tells from a poor, ill boy who is led by the nutcracker in the dream by a toys world. When he wakes up in the morning, he finds the toys under the Christmas tree on which he becomes again healthy.
Another laying around the birth of the nutcracker is this:
Two boys had picked hazelnuts in the forest, sat under the shrubs and the same wanted to eat; but nobody had his little knife with itself, and with the teeth they could not bite open them. There they cried very much and said: " Nevertheless, Oh only somebody would come who wanted to crack our nuts to us! "
Hardly said, so a small little man came by the forest walked along. But how did the little man look? A long, rigid plait had a big, big head, in that it till the heels herabhing, a gold hat, a red dress and yellow little pants. While it came, muttered it the song:
" Hot, hot, bite, bite;
Go ' gladly to the green forest
If the nut of the shrub falls;
Copy it the funny squirrel, crack ' and gnaw ' the whole day! "
The boys wanted to laugh to themselves almost to deaths at the small funny fellow which they held(regarded) as a little forest dwarf. They called to him: " If you want to crack nuts, come ' and crack to us this, so that we can eat them! " There the little man hummed in its long, white beard:
Little Hans my name
nuts I eat;
If I have ' however, myself zealous, to you a dozen bitten into,
give to me to the wage a few of it! "
Yes! " shouted the boys, " you are can eat, cracks only diligently. " The little man placed himself to them, because in the seat it hindered his plait, and spoke:
" If the nut lifts on the long plait,
Pushing in my mouth,
presses down, one, two, three!
Every nut is quick in two. "
So they acted, and did not stop the laughter if they had to take from the little ones always with the plait and after every competent crack the nut from the mouth jumped. All nuts were soon bitten open, and the little man murrmured:
" Hot, hot - bite, bite;
want my wage now also of it!
Now one of the boys wanted to donate to the little man the promised wage, the other, however, a bad jack, hindered him in it, while he spoke: Why want you to give to the little fellow of our nuts? We only want to eat them. Go only away now, Cracker of the nuts, and search for you your nuts themselves! There the Nutcracker was angered immensely and hummed:
"you do not give me a nut,
then you make annoyance for me;
I take you with the tuft and bite
to you starting from the head!"
There the bad boy laughed and said: "you me the head abbeissen? Rather make that you away-come, otherwise let I you my Haselnussstaudengertlein feel!" It threatened at the same time with its Stoecklein. The nussknacker became completely red before anger, main header with a Haendchen the zopf up, snatched themselves then like a fish in the water, and crack! the head was away.
That is the history of the first nussknacker. Have probably eight, children that you the heads or at least the finger flax will not abgebissen; because how, then also the grandchildren and great-grandchild of the nut breaker sex with bad children do not make their Urahnherr much feather/spring reading!
