Herman van Veen ran over a duck with his car. A couple of days later a guy called him and asked if he could write a fairytale for children. Herman saw a duck in his garden and he started thinking about the "widow" of the killed duck. The guy at the other end of the line asked what he was thinking about. When Herman answered he was thinking about a duck, the guy thought he was talking about the fairytale and said: Ok, so you're gonna write a fairytale about a duck.
The performance of the tale was a big success. Profits went to UNICEF. It was performed in lots of countries.
The show was made into a record, with drawings by Annet Kossen. Then there was a book. Harald Siepermann made a comic book, a cartoon was made. Alfred became world famous.
Why? Maybe because he's so real. With everything he does he wonders: Why? And: Is it right?
He'll stay alive till there's nothing left to give.
wat geweldig om dit een keer te zien! ik heb in mijn jeugd ongelofelijk veel naar alfred j. kwak gekeken, en toen ik laatst weer keek kwamen alle herinneringen weer boven! veel herinnerde ik me nog exact... en hoe eng ik het vroeger vond!
waarom wordt dit nou niet meer uitgezonden?
zulke series maken ze tegenwoordig niet meer... werkelijk waar fantastisch herman!
dankjewel voor de beste kinderafleveringen ooit. beter dan nu.

how? i would need the original video to make a subtitle file for it, and then they would have to upload it.
if herman van veen could help me with that i would translate it :)

this is actually spoken in german, but the entire video is 10 mins long, unless there is an easy way to upload subs on youtube, I'm not gonna do it
