Speaker 3 (0:04) Hi, I'm Patricia and before the Kakadu listening game starts, I have a tip. Listen to our current Kakadu question podcast. In the last episode, Lule and I dealt with a real wonder, the eel. So crazy what the eel has experienced in his life. Don't miss the Kakadu eel podcast with Alfred. Speaker 1 (1:12) Ein Fellknäuel namens Heimweh von Hartmut Elkodi Speaker 1 (1:25) Lilly, are you coming down? There's snowman cake. Lilly sat in the guest room of her aunt Paula on the bed and mumbled with her feet. On the lap she had her unpacked backpack. It was her old kindergarten backpack. It was very colorful and on top of the sling was a letter, Lilly, stamped. She would never have taken it to school. It would have been too embarrassing. Baby stuff. But now, for her replacement vacation. war ja genau das Richtige. Sie fühlte sich damit sicherer. Hm, wenigstens ein bisschen. Ich komme gleich, rief Lilly. Mach hin, der Tee wird kalt. Ihre Tante machte immer ein bisschen auf ruppig, aber war eigentlich ganz okay. Sie hatte sogar extra Schneewittchenkuchen gebacken. Lilly liebte Schneewittchenkuchen. Unten Biskuitteig, dann Kirschen, Schlagsahne und obendrauf Butterkekse mit einem Schokoguss. But Lilly wasn't quite sure if she really wanted her favorite cake at the moment. She hoped that she would get at least one piece down. She was so mulled. Actually, she was sure happy when her mother told her she could go to Hannover for two weeks in the summer holidays. Paula has taken her leave and if the weather is nice, she will definitely go to the free bath with her every day. Jeden Tag ins Freibad klang gut. Auch ansonsten freute sich Lilly auf Hannover. Da gab es einen tollen Zoo, man konnte Ausflüge machen, zum Beispiel ans Steinhuder Meer, das zwar kein echtes Meer war, sondern nur ein großer See, aber egal. Man konnte Boot fahren, Fischbrötchen essen und Steine ins Wasser schmeißen. Wie an einem richtigen Meer. Trotzdem wäre Lilly lieber mit ihrer Familie in den Urlaub gefahren. Aber das ging nicht. Sie waren erst vor kurzem umgezogen. And the move and the renovation of the new apartment had cost so much money that they couldn't afford a family vacation this year. And then the washing machine was also broken. I have no idea how we should pay that again, said Lilly's mother. I don't either, thought Lilly. Then Hannover. And at the same moment she got scared. Speaker 1 (3:41) Lilly looked around. Aunt Paula's guest room was okay. Maybe a little too big and too empty. At home, Lilly shared her room with her little brother Anton, which wasn't always easy. Anton could go pretty far. But somehow it was also calming to hear him breathing at night, when you had to wake up or go to the toilet. Whatever, I'll make it. I'll hold it through for two weeks, said Lilly and went downstairs. Sie drückte sich zweieinhalb Stücke Schneewittchenkuchen rein. Lilly versuchte, ihre Angst wegzuessen. Speaker 2 (4:19) Na, Speaker 1 (4:20) dann können wir uns das Abendbrot wohl heut sparen, sagte Tante Paula. Das glaube ich auch, antwortete Lilly und rülpste laut. Entschuldigung, nuschelte sie von sich selbst überrascht. Wenn man beim Rülpswettbewerb in der Pause mal so einen Rekordrülpser brauchte, dann kriegte man ihn nie hin. Und hier rutschte er ja einfach aus Versehen raus. Was für eine Verschwendung. Aunt Paula smiled. Good. The main thing is that the cake stays in. It stayed in, fortunately. Lily should have had enough problems that night. In the evening Aunt Paula and she played a round of volleyball in the yard, then watched a movie, and now it was time. Now Lily should sleep. Aunt Paula brought her to bed, covered her and said, Tomorrow we go swimming, but before ten I don't want to be woken up. I also have vacation. So, now sleep well. And then they went out. Okay, thought Lilly. No panic. Everything is fine. I'm fine. I'm with my aunt. She's nice to me. I have two and a half pieces of snowman cake in my stomach. Still no stomachache. And I have my cuddly animal with me. What should happen to me? Of course she knew exactly what could happen to her. Because it happened to her again and again. It was just a matter of time. Speaker 1 (5:49) Lilly turned off the light. Through the window a street lantern appeared into the room. She looked at the shadows on
