Quand les poules auront des dents...

French term or phrase: Quand les poules auront des dents... Hallo, vielleicht kennt jemand eine entsprechende deutsche Redensart, in der ebenfalls ein Tier vorkommt. Es geht hier um ein Ratespiel für Kinder auf einem geführten Wanderweg in der Schweiz. (Das Ratespiel steht auf einem Wegweiser.) Die Kinder müssen zuerst die fehlenden Wörter in die Redensarten einsetzen und sie dann ihrer Erklärung zuordnen. Im französischen Original geht es immer um coq / poule und poulet. Das ist natürlich in der Übersetzung nicht machbar, doch zumindest habe ich für jede Redensart bis jetzt eine deutsche Entsprechung gefunden, in der ein Tier vorkommt. Nur hier hatte ich noch keine Idee... Danke im Voraus!	Doris Wolf KudoZ activity Questions: 3061 (11 open) (94 without valid answers) (221 closed without grading) Answers: 222 Germany
