About this episode

Talk about the weather, hobbies and technology & personal pronouns in the dative: ihr, uns.

Paul and Grandpa play chess together. Tim hears from a friend that Fritz is probably kitesurfing because his BMW can't carry a large windsurfing board. Tim wants to share a video of the best kitesurfing spots with Paul. Paul feels down because he keeps getting rejected after applying for jobs. Grandpa surprises Paul by revealing he's good with technology and has a smartphone. Paul sees Grandpa's note on his fridge reminding him about the book, but he takes it down to hide the fact that he lost it. Grandpa sees that, and Paul admits his lie. He finally got caught up in his web of lies and Grandpa almost falls to the floor. He's is so shocked because there's a story behind the book. That's what he was trying to tell Paul all along. What's the story behind the book? Why is the book so very important to Grandpa?
