\"Struwwelpeter<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s read together: Struwwelpeter<\/strong> by Heinrich Hoffmann<\/h2>\n

In the translation of Mark Twain<\/em><\/p>\n

See this frowsy “cratur”
\nPah! it’s Struwwelpeter
\nOn his fingers rusty,
\nOn his two-head musty,
\nScissors seldom come;
\nLets his talons grow a year
\nDo any loathe him? Some!
\nThey hail him “Modern satyr –
\nDisgusting Struwwelpeter.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other translation “Shock headed Peter”
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Just look at him! there he stands,
\nWith his nasty hair and hands.
\nSee! his nails are never cut;
\nThey are grimed as black as soot;
\nAnd the sloven, I declare,
\nNever once has combed his hair;
\nAnything to me is sweeter
\nThan to see Shock-headed Peter.<\/p>\n
