Am Freitag hatten wir unsere letzte Deutschstunde. Aber wir hatten keinen Deutsch-Unterricht mehr, sondern ein Mittags-Picnic-Treffen. Es war wirklich toll. Das ist das erste mal dass ich einen kurs so genossen habe. Jeder ist nicht nur meine mit-student... wir haben einander ein bisschen kennen gelernt, und das ist wahnsinnig sch?n.
Ich glaube, dass ich jetzt mehr Deutsch kann und verstehe als ich in T?bingen war. ? ja ein bisschen ironisch! Nat?rlich gibts es mehr das man lernen kann .... das ist immer so.
Aber.... schau!
Hier, ich habe eine kleine Geschichte im Kurs geschrieben.... das h?tte ich vorher nicht gekonnt!
Es war sehr dunkel bevor jemand die Sonne gefunden hatte. Wir haben sie einmal verloren. Aber wie, ist eine Frage die niemand wirklich wei?. Aber egal. Was wichtig ist, sie kommt jetzt jeden Tag und die interessante Frage ist, wer sie gefunden hatte und wie.
Dieser Jemand ist eigentlich die kleine Ente vom Silbersee. Einmal schwamm sie in der Dunkelheit ganz weit weg von zu Hause und sie f?hlte sich etwas hei? im Wasser. Wenn sie ihren Kopf ins Wasser tauchte, sah sie etwas gro?es und graues und es weinte. Die kleine Ente fragte ihn, was passiert war, wer es war.... Es war unsere Sonne! Sie war neugierig gewessen und wollte ins Wasser schwimmen gehen, aber fiel runter und kam nie wieder zur?ck.
Dann sprach die kleine Ente mit dem kalten Wasser und bat es zu helfen. Zum Gl?ck hatte das ganze Wasser sich versammelt und sie brachten die Sonne zur?ck in den Himmel. Jetzt haben wir unsere Sonne jeden Tag!
if you want to know what i have written here's a translation...
we had our last German class together on Friday. but we didn't learn more German grammar. instead, we had an indoor lunchtime picnic (because the weather was much too cold and ambivalent)... it was truly lovely. this is actually the first time that i have enjoyed a class so much... everyone isn't just my classmate, we actually got to know abit about each other during our course.... which is really remarkable.
i believe that i know and understand a little more German than i did when i was in T?bingen; yes a little ironic. naturally, there's more that one could learn.... that's often the case.
but... look!!!
here is a wee story i wrote in my course.... i couldn't have done it before.
it was truly dark and dim before someone had found the Sun. we had lost her once. but how, is a question to which no body really knows nor have an answer. but nevermind. what is important is, she now appears every day and the interesting question is, who had found her, and how. (in German, the Sun is considered to be Feminine)
this someone is actually the little duckie from Silver lake. once, in the darkness, she swam really far out and away from home and she felt something hot in the water. when she dived her head into the water, she saw something huge, greyish which appeared to be sobbing. the wee duckie asked the something what had happened and who it might be.... it turned out to be our Sun! she had been extremely curious and wanted to go swimming in the water, but when she did try to get in, she fell right in and couldn't get out again.
wee little duckie felt she had to do something. she then talked to the cold water and persuaded it to help. with some luck, the water, collected itself from all other sources and brought the Sun back into the sky. and so, we have our sun every day!
yes... it is rather silly... my first attempt in fictional kiddy nonsense.... perhaps i'll tell it to my kid(s) one day at bed time.
