Puppet Theater "Here Comes a Flying Moose"

Once upon a time, there was a moose. He was great at flying, which is quite special for a moose. Lately, though, he kept running into trouble. He kept landing in other people's soup pots — by accident, of course. Probably the controls were stuck, but after all, a moose isn’t a mechanic, so he kept falling.

Do you know where he crashed? He landed right in people's soup pots! That wasn’t much of a problem for him because the area was known for its good vegetable soups. Each time, he hurried to slurp the pot empty. One day, though, when he landed in the royal wedding soup pot, the real trouble began. The royal chef complained to the king himself about the cheeky soup slurper. Only the king didn’t believe a word. A moose flying into the soup? Where would you ever see such a thing?

So the chef had to go to jail for making nonsense claims, and later, so did Gretel because the moose had landed in her soup, too. The king wouldn’t believe that either. With all the trouble caused, wise Queen Hanne knew what to do. She managed to have the chef and Gretel released and showed the king what it really means to love someone. Whether the moose got fixed, though, we won’t reveal yet.
