Cry in Cologne

Once upon a time, in the city of Cologne, there was a young girl named Anna. Anna loved to explore the streets of the city, especially the beautiful cathedral that stood tall in the center.

One day, as Anna was walking by the river, she noticed a man crying on the bridge. She approached him and asked, “Why are you crying?”

The man sniffled and replied, “I lost my wallet. It had all my money and important documents in it. How will I ever get home now?”

Anna felt sorry for the man and decided to help him. She had heard of a secret code that people in Cologne used to communicate with each other in times of distress. It was called the ‘Cologne Cry‘ or ‘ACH‘ in the local language.

She asked the man to repeat these words after her, “Ach, wo ist meine Brieftasche?” which translated to, “Oh, where is my wallet?” The man hesitated at first but eventually repeated the words with Anna.

To their surprise, a passerby overheard their conversation and came to their aid. The passerby knew the ‘Cologne Cry’ and knew exactly what to do. Within a few minutes, the man had recovered his wallet and was on his way home.

From that day onward, Anna never forgot the ‘Cologne Cry’ and vowed to spread the word to others in need. So, if you ever find yourself lost or distressed in Cologne, remember to cry out ‘ACH‘ and help will come your way.
