I dont really get the joke
German fairy tales were often about morality and what happens if you don't behave properly. The Suppenkasper has starved to death, Hans Guck in die Luft has drowned, the fingers of the Struppelpeter have been cut off, etc. I recommend the Wilhelm Busch house book.
Hans guck in die Luft was saved before drowning.
