The story
Goblick loves every crumb of food but has awful table manners, gobbling loudly and licking plates clean. He goes hunting for magic wishing star cookies with Pickyeata, and gulps down a whole Mozart cake in two bites.
Suddenly he is staring into the eyes of a fish at a grand palace banquet in Vienna, where Mozart is playing piano, a fancy baroness is glaring, and only a talking fork and knife can help him.
The real place: Vienna
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
