Bremen town musicians

Mari brought home a DVD version of a puppet show telling of "Bremen Town Musicians" the other day.
It's a story I remember well from my own childhood. And though I didn't know the title of the video that Kenny was watching, I began to suspect when I a dejected mule met a down-on-his-luck dog and they began to sing.
It's interesting how the tale has followed my family from country to country. It originates close to my father's area of Germany and I listened to a vinyl version in English in Canada. Now it's a DVD in Japanese for my son.
