Opa Karl, Melanie, and Robert come up to a wooden booth. Melanie stands on her tip toes and sees a grill. There’s a fire underneath it and sausages cooking on top of it. Opa Karl orders each of them a “bratwurst in a bun.” The vendor picks up a sausage from the grill and puts it in a bun. Then he adds sauerkraut and mustard to it.
“Sauerkraut in a hot dog bun?” says Opa Karl. “That’s new for me! In Germany we eat a lot of bratwurst and sauerkraut, but we don’t put them together in a bun. What a great idea!”
The sausage and sauerkraut smell really good. Robert bites into one end of his sausage and Melanie bites into one end of hers. “Yummy!” they both say.
Opa Karl takes a big bite of his. When he lifts his head, Melanie and Robert laugh: Opa Karl has sauerkraut hanging over his big mustache!
