~ Brunnensaft gibt wenig Kraft ~ | |
This is a cute little rhyme, but the bottom line really says it all on this light relief glazed pottery stein ca. 1900. | |
Brunnensaft gibt wenig Kraft, drum sag' ich dir, trink gutes Bier. |
Fountain juice (water) gives little strength, therefore I say to you, drink good beer. |
This verse also appears on this stein, ca. 1900: | |
