9 aAnd learning how to give and take orders,
10 And a bunch of other important things too,
11 Like making life miserable for the bAustrians,
12 Who were so weak and foolish that they almost made the Prussians embarrassed to be Krauts,
13 But not quite.
CHAPTER 191 Way back when, there was a Prussian king named cFrederick the Great,
2 Who made a specialty out of worrying the Austrians,
3 And got so great at it that the ruling family of Austria became permanently worried,
4 And kept pulling on their lower lip,
5 From one generation to the next,
6 Which made them look pretty silly,
7 From one generation to the next.
CHAPTER 201 Later on, the Prussians also helped defeat Napoleon,
2 Showing up late at Waterloo,
3 dAnd doing something or other on a sunken road,
4 Which completely ruined the day for the eFrench emperor.
CHAPTER 211 And then there was fBismarck,
2 gWho decided that the Prussians had had enough practice,
3 And should start taking everything over as soon as possible,
4 Including Austria,
5 hWhich didn't actually disappear but suddenly became one of Prussia's closest allies,

6 iAnd also including all the Krauts who had been too busy eating pork and beer to get organized as a nation,
7 And all the Krauts who had always been too preoccupied with culture to care about the destiny of the Fatherland,
8 jNot to mention certain parts of France,
9 kWhich Bismarck added to the Fatherland by winning the Franco-Prussian war,
10 Which was especially humiliating to the Frogs,
11 lWho had somehow gotten the idea that no one would bother them now that they had another emperor named Napoleon,
12 Which turned out not to be true,
13 And proved that the Krauts were now a large, powerful, unified nation,
14 In fact, a mChosen Nation,
15 Called Germany.
CHAPTER 221 The more they thought about it, the more the Krauts realized that they'd been Chosen all along,
2 Because look at how good they were at everything.
3 Compared to everyone else,
4 nThe Krauts had bigger buildings,
5 oAnd louder symphonies,
6 pAnd longer operas,
7 qAnd bigger words,
8 rAnd taller soldiers,
9 sAnd more munitions factories,
10 And so forth,
11 And so on,
