Die Seilbahn

Ein alter Mann besteigt eine Bergseilbahn und genehmigt sich eine Portion Schnupftabak. Et voilà! Mit jeder Niesattacke löst sich die Kabine weiter in ihre Bestandteile auf, während sie in immer bodenlosere Höhen schwebt. Doch der Alte beugt sich keineswegs passiv seinem Schicksal.

Le téléphérique

Un vieil homme monte dans un téléphérique et s'offre une ration de tabac à priser. Et voilà!
A chaque éternuement, la cabine part un peu plus en pièces, tout en continuant à prendre de l'altitude. Le vieillard est pourtant loin d'accepter son destin...

The Cable Car

While travelling by cable car to a place somewhere in the mountains, an old man treats himself to some snuff. Et voilà! With every sneeze the cable car cabin is falling more and more apart. The man, however, is far from accepting his fate just like that.
