Swish, swish! Marek moves his toothbrush back and forth, making little bubbles that tickle his lips. He spits into the sink, then puts his brush in its cup. Tonight, he has a big trip to make, all the way to bed. He pats the towel against his mouth and gives a little bounce. Then he marches out of the bathroom, lifting each foot high.

At the bedroom door, Marek stops with one foot in the air. Blocks and a little truck cover the floor, right where he needs to walk. His bed is on the other side, but there is no clear path. He puts his foot back down and grips the door frame. “Move, toys!” he says, stamping once on the smooth, cool patch beneath his feet.

Marek nudges a block with his foot, trying to make a path. It bumps another block, and both slide against the truck with a clack. Now the truck rolls sideways, closing the little gap he made. Marek pulls his foot back and sits down with a thump. He presses his hands against his knees and looks at the toys spread out before him.

Marek reaches for his truck and rolls it once beside his knee. He wants another turn, but he stops it with his hand. “Night-night, truck,” he says, and puts it in the toy basket. Then he picks up the blocks, one after another, with little wooden clicks. He takes the last one to the basket, leaving a clear path where the toys had been.

Marek walks along his clear path, taking slow steps all the way to bed. He climbs in and pulls the blanket up with a happy little wiggle. The sheet feels cool where he tucks his feet beneath it. “Made it,” he whispers, patting the space beside his pillow. Then he settles down, with his toys put away and room to rest at last.

Adam and the Thunder Ride

English · Page 5 of 5

By sunset, the rain had stopped. Water drained away from the playground, leaving shiny mud beneath the swings. The climbing bars still stood ready for another day.

Dad made the gate safe with a sturdy stone brace. Then he and Adam climbed to a grassy picnic knoll, where the air smelled of wet leaves.

Dad peeled an orange and passed Adam half. Adam ate a slice, then reached into his empty pocket.

“I’ll miss my rocket,” he said.

Dad rested a hand on his shoulder. “You gave up something you loved to save something you loved.”

Adam leaned against him. Below them, sunset glowed in the last small puddles.

Tomorrow, they could make another rocket. Tonight, Adam raised an orange slice toward Dad, and they tapped their slices together.

Hilda und der Sofakollaps

Deutsch · Page 4 of 5

Hilda schob den Mopp weit weg. Dann kniete sie vor dem Turm nieder, an dem sie den halben Vormittag gebaut hatte. Sie legte beide Hände auf das oberste Polster, nahm sie wieder herunter und trommelte kurz auf ihre Knie.

Der Turm war der beste Teil gewesen. Hoch, völlig unnötig und deshalb großartig.

Aber unter einem großartigen Turm konnte man offenbar nicht gemütlich sitzen.

„Du wirst jetzt ein Erdgeschoss“, sagte Hilda.

Sie nahm das oberste Polster ab. Dann das nächste. Bei jedem wurde der Turm kleiner und der Platz neben ihr voller. Schließlich lag auch das letzte Polster unten. Hilda musste kurz schlucken, bevor sie weitermachte.

In der Essecke löste sie die schwere Überdecke von einer Stuhllehne. Der raue Stoff schabte über ihre Finger. Statt ihn wieder hochzuziehen, faltete sie ihn zusammen und legte ihn beiseite.

Mit den ehemaligen Turmpolstern baute sie niedrige Seitenwände. Darüber spannte sie nur das leichte Betttuch. Sie rückte alles so lange zurecht, bis sie im Inneren sitzen konnte, ohne das Dach mit dem Kopf anzuheben.

Keine Zinnen mehr. Kein hoher Aussichtspunkt. Dafür blieb der Eingang offen.

Hilda kroch hinein, drehte sich um und kroch wieder hinaus. Einfach so. Sie grinste dem freien Durchgang entgegen.
