The blister plaster

To the next lesson

The next word: tirita para ampollas, the blister plaster.

You are holding a packet showing a tiger next to a giant fir tree – “Tiger”, “riesig”, “Tanne” (tirita). In the background a paraglider is landing (para). The tiger has evidently bitten him, because he has a plaster on his bottom – “Po” in German (ampo) – and as he walks off he dances a little, as if he were listening to jazz (llas).
