The chicken and the Kümmelfritz are the best of friends and a great team. When the Kümmelfritz runs out of silly ideas, you can be sure that the chicken will come up with something. It has a big mouth, and before it gets into trouble, it makes sure to think of its own advantage. This sometimes leads it into uncomfortable situations, and it has to paddle quite a bit to get back out. However, the Kümmelfritz, the Woniafka grandma, and Maya are very nice and love the chicken. That's why they often help it out of a jam. And the chicken is so incredibly generous that it allows itself to be helped.
