Beethoven
It was unusually quiet in the hen yard and Cecily Fischer, the baker’s sister, looked around suspiciously. Then the hens began to squawk in fear. Quickly, she strode across the yard and flung open the door of the hen house. “Ludwig! Well! Now I know who has been stealing my eggs!” “No! No! Miss Fischer,” lied the little boy, “Kaspar threw my handkerchief in here and I came in to get it!” Ludwig van Beethoven lived with his father and mother and his two brothers, Kaspar and Nikola, in the baker’s house at No. 934 Rheingasse in Bonn, Germany. In 1774, he was a scruffy little four-year-old, with untidy hair and dirty fingernails.
