Oh - you bad one! You certainly know that this was a bug! Here the 
correct version:

SCHUTZMANN: Warum haben sie die schweren Steine an ihr Rad gebunden?
VALENTIN: Damit ich bei Gegenwind leichter fahre ...
SCHUTZMANN: Wie heißen Sie denn?
VALENTIN: Wrdlbrmpfd
SCHUTZMANN: Wie?
VALENTIN: Wrdlbrmpfd
SCHUTZMANN: Wadlstrumpf?
VALENTIN: Wr - dl - brmpfd

What a mess! I'll have to correct a big bunch of code ...

By the way, this is well known not only in Germany:

For me that doesn't matter, as I thought it out for kids who
already are experienced turtle-users. And - as I tried to point out - there
is the advantage of really seeing the objects at work.

Have a nice day
