Who does not love the little dragon Griswald, who would so like to be a fireman. A friendly little guy who plays the ambiguous tendency of his predetermined existence time and again a trick.
around the world is the little cartoon character as a mascot for the fire service, which I gave up until now always puzzles But these days I found out. This must be differentiated but light, what about the social position of the fireman in the respective society. In the U.S., for example, the 'Fire Fighter' a particularly strong, heroic stained reputation, culminating, among other things, that calendar bear with firefighters in their birthday suit, like Grisu only a helmet and a drop of sulfur perfume, cut, how to sell bread. In Germany there is such a calendar as I know not whether the onus will be on the social position of said profession or just the poor body condition of the protagonists, I can not judge.
Who does not remember it as the time in West Berlin, was marching out when the fire department to extinguish intervene. They could never drive trucks and have apparently not learned over the years. Was the remainder of the lane on the way to the fire area at least four feet wide, are not there been run, and if they do, all car mirrors are shaved.

In Brandenburg, hardly a week goes by in which is not known that a member of a volunteer fire department has once again put a shed on fire in order to give his social position pyromaniac boost. And this is where we find the unconscious ambivalence, the fire departments around the world Grisu drives.
The little dragon is doomed because of its origin, to start fires, a role in his father again and again constrained. Grisu would like to delete really admired and seen as the hero, but it just happens that it all over again what to preserve (and perhaps will) put on fire, and thus achieves an opposite effect. Sure the reader recognizes as slowly in the truest sense of the word 'fabulous' profundity of this animated parable that would have demanded an Aesop admiration. Actually, the little hero is a sad, which one should take the hand to him to say honestly that this can be anything - sometimes so be it .....
The popular format 'Wikipedia', the glorification of the unverified half knowledge provides us with about a meaningful inclusion of an example the sometimes even for veneration of saints derailed Grisukults, close to the I
