Nice Surprises contains poems and short stories. Please do not confuse nice with mice. Mice play no part in this book, sorry, unless you mean cute little things, then yes! In my country, it is customary to call a nice girl a mouse. The main characters in these stories are all German. Yes, there is a German language course in this work, and you can learn words that you will never hear in a normal course. German proverbs are translated literally, like this example. »I know where the frog's curls are.« What does that mean? You say this when you demonstrate your own superiority, strength, and self-confidence.
