Rolf-Bernhard Essig Regina Kehn

I’ll wait here with my beard in the mailbox!. And in Palestine: It’s a goat, even if it flies.

Only if you know the stories, you’ll understand these sayings. And by understanding them, you’ll learn more about the countries and cultures in which they occur. Maybe you’ll realize that many cultures share similar wisdoms. Are you ready for this journey to over 40 countries?
