Wasserpuppenfigur Clown
In addition to the general, the figure of a clown entertains the audience with often instructive statements between the individual episodes of the traditional water puppet theater. For example, he announces a scene from rural life:
Heaven gave birth to VietnamVietnam in peaceThe farmer loves working in the fieldsAs it says in the book of saintsThe last winter harvest was goodNow the rain is refreshingIt's time to take the seedlings to the fields
