《不来梅的城市乐手》收在格林兄弟编的《儿童与家庭童话集》里，是第27篇。它并不在1812年的第一版中，而是到1819年第二版才加进去的。研究者认为，格林兄弟是根据德国帕德博恩一带流传的两个民间故事整理成这一篇的。不来梅是德国北部威悉河边的一座古城，今天，它和港口城市不来梅港一起，组成了德国的一个州。

The Bremen Town Musicians is tale number 27 in the Grimm brothers' Children's and Household Tales. It was not in the first edition of 1812; it was added in the second edition of 1819. Scholars believe the Grimms shaped it from two folk tales told around Paderborn in Germany. Bremen is an old city on the Weser River in northern Germany. Today, together with the port city of Bremerhaven, it forms one of Germany's states.

故事的德语名字是 Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten。Stadt 是"城市"，Musikant 是"乐手"。在过去的德国，不少城市会请专门的乐手，在节日、婚礼和各种典礼上演奏，这份工作就叫"城市乐手"。还有一件有趣的事：德语里的动物叫声和中文很不一样，驴子叫 I-A，狗叫 Wau wau，猫叫 Miau，公鸡叫 Kikeriki。

The German title is Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten. Stadt means city and Musikant means musician. In the past, many German towns hired their own musicians to play at festivals, weddings and ceremonies, and that job was called town musician. Here is another fun fact: animal sounds in German are quite different from Chinese. A donkey says I-A, a dog says Wau wau, a cat says Miau, and a rooster says Kikeriki.
