Das Kind und das Ding

The thing stands there and does nothing. All of a sudden it whistles and shakes, smokes and snorts and if you listen closely, it sings and talks. For the adults, it is just tin and belongs on the rubbish heap, but for the child it becomes more and more the centre of his world because it is the best thing to play, dream and laugh with. The story of a friendship between man and machine becomes a playground and testing ground for machine and human sounds.
