COPENHAGEN

The traveller has been home for a long time and been struck by melancoly. This becomes deeper and deeper, and finally results in him completely loosing his apetite. And would he eat, most often results in the food coming right back up again. This does not lessen the melancoly. A long planned trip to Prais worries the traveller. How can he, in his present melnacoly state and without an apetite, possibly appreciate a stay in Paris? His kind doctor gives him a letter of recommendation to a collaege at a larger hospital in Paris, if things should become worse.

The traveller meets his travel companion at the railway station, bound for Copenhagen. A young lady gives them boiled eggs for the train. The traveller bravely smiles in spite of a heightening nausea.

But when they disembark at Hovedbangaarden in Copenhagen, something has happened to the traveller. He is light-hearted. And not only that. He is hungry. First they check the small cinema at the station for any Gök&Gokke (Laurel&Hardy) films, and when there are none, they cross the street to a fast-food restuarant. The traveller thoroughly enjoys the large weiner schnitzel served with a lot of peas and sallad and potatoes and a fair amount of beer. It tastes heavenly. He has not been able to eat this much in months. And it stays down. The traveller is no longer melancolic.

Such is the city of Copenhagen.
