PUPPENTHEATER - Die Gänsemagd

In the organizer's words:

In Mrs. Doll Doctor Liesl Strick's workshop, toys are repaired when they are broken. She carves wooden horses' legs, mends dolls' clothes and sews new ears onto a teddy bear. Then the teddy remembers that there used to be a fairy tale about a horse called Falada. Mrs. Strick has enough dolls in her workshop to tell him this story:

The princess Katharina is supposed to ride with her servant to the neighboring kingdom to marry the prince there. But the servant treacherously tricks the princess, steals her clothes and pretends to be the princess herself. Katharina is now her maid. Instead of marrying the prince, she now has to look after the geese in this kingdom. Only her faithful horse Falada knows the truth and how wickedly the real princess has been betrayed. Catherine can only talk to him in secret: "O Falada, you who hang..."

Must Katharina now remain a goose-maid all her life? Or can she marry the prince after all?

With this fairy tale, Ms. Strick tells us that you won't be happy if you want to be someone else and aren't satisfied with what you have. Only if you face life's challenges and accept them can you develop and find happiness and fulfillment.
