Note to recorder:

Please, speak slowly.

Have you ever heard about a country in which the chickens fly into your mouth and candy grows on trees? And no one can say where the country exactly is.
This beautiful country is called the Land of Milk and Honey. Houses are covered with pancakes, there are doors made of gingerbread and walls made of roast pork. Each house has a fence that is made of sausages. From all wells sweet juice is flowing, orange juice or apple juice. Everybody who wants to drink just needs to keep his mouth under the well pipe and can drink as much as he wants.
On the trees there grow freshly baked rolls, and under the trees there are streams of milk and hot chocolate. Fish swim on the water. They are baked or boiled, and swim very close to the shore. But if you are too lazy to take them you call "Bst! Bst! "- and the fish come out of the water walking into your hand so that you only have to eat the fish.
Believe it or not - the geese, ducks and chickens, turkeys and pigeons are flying around in the air and they´re fried. And if you don´t want to reach out after one, it flies straight into your mouth.
Cheese is lying around like stones, large and small. The stones themselves are all burgers, fishburgers, hamburgers or cheeseburgers. It doesn´t rain water drops – no, it rains honey. You can lick and lick, it's a pleasure. And when it snows, it snows icing sugar, and when it hails, it hails sugar cubes, mixed with figs, raisins and almonds. There are also large forests. On the trees there grow beautiful blouses, T-shirts, skirts, coats, jeans and pants in all colours, black, green, yellow, blue and red. Everybody who needs new clothes, goes into the forest and throws them down with a stone.
On the grass grow beautiful ladies dresses of velvet and silk, the blades of grass are colourful ribbons.
On some bushes there are gold brooches and necklaces, and the berries are not black, but real pearls. On the fir trees hang wristwatches. On the oaks grow boots and shoes, summer and winter hats and all kinds of caps.
Every hour of sleep brings up a piece of silver there and yawning every time a piece of gold. But when you don´t sleep, you eat, drink, dance and play. Now you know how life is in the Land of Milk and Honey. There is a high wall around this country and if you want to go in or out you must eat yourself through this sweet and delicious wall.
