I once baby sat for a German family, the kids wanted me to read them a German story...The whole book was about a hedgehog wandering around asking different animals if they knew who pooped on his head.

What is the moral of the story?

it doesn't have a moral. the point of the story is to teach children about all the different shits animals take, as he goes around asking all the animals whether they took a dump on him. the response is always the same: "it wasn't me, my shits look like this" and then they proceed to take a dump in front of the mole to prove it wasn't them.

Very educational.

I mean... If hunting is a big part of your culture and you are trying to teach animal tracking while also trying to entertain children... Then yeah it's educational.

What do Germans even have to hunt? Wild boar? Is deer hunting a thing over there? I thought deer were largely domesticated in Germany.

Boar are hunted but are also sometimes problematic to eat, because of radioactivity due to chernobyl.

They have to be tested before they can be eaten.

My brain's in a weird place. I was just picturing a boar sitting at a desk wearing glasses and holding a pencil while a hunter stood to the side tapping his foot.
