In a big house in Germany lived a lady who twisted her tongue. Robert understood only that he was her Grandson. Questions to answer made Robert  escape from the supper table. Sauerkraut or  red cabbage was a taste Robert would hate.  A piece of bread spread butter and honey upon his plate. A chocolate surprise egg  followed for a treat to reward Robert for something healthier to eat.


Robert entered the kitchen for a mouthful  of his Grandmothers bite, but she had a long slice of  fish against Robert´s wish when the tongue twister  said ´Esse´, Robert would vanish speechless.

Whereabouts in Germany does, or did, your grandmother live, Robert?
The only places I've visited there are Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich.

Also, in der Nähe von Böblingen, nicht sehr weit von Stuttgart.
[= Near Böblingen then, not very far from Stuttgart.]
