Which bar serves good tapas?

To the next lesson

The next sentence: ¿En qué bar pueden comerse buenas tapas?

You ask a duck standing outside a bar with a notch on the front of its beak (en qué – from the German “Ente”, “duck”, and “Kerbe”, “notch”); the duck with the notch stands in front of the bar (bar). You have your noble poodle with you, and because it is cold outside, this time it is wearing an artificial mink – so not puede but pueden (pueden – “Nerz” is German for “mink”).

The duck points to a house: down there is a bar that looks a little odd, there is always some earth lying on the floor, and it sits by a lake (comerse – from the German “komisch”, “Erde” and “See”: “odd”, “earth” and “lake”). On the counter there is always a book full of pictures of wet ducks (buenas – the German “Buch” means “book”, “nass” means “wet”), and they love eating tapas (tapas).
