Im Land der Dämmerung (German)

"I will never forget the first time Mr. Lilienstängel came to pick me up. There was a knock at the window. A very small gentleman in a checked suit and a high black hat on his head came through the closed window. "My name is Lilienstängel," said he."Walk past the windows a bit all over town. Want to see if there are any kids wanting to go to the Land of Twilight. Do you want to?" And if I wanted to!
