Flauschi’s Berry Sparkle
Flauschi makes a pink berry drink with plenty of water. Puschel counts the strawberries, but one goes into his mouth first.
The little story
A Berry for the Berry Counter
Flauschi set a bowl of washed strawberries on the table. Flauschi“Our drink break is turning pink today.” Puschel offered to count the berries.
Puschel“One, two, three…” Then one berry disappeared into his mouth. Flauschi“Counting or tasting?” asked Flauschi. Puschel“Checking that they are delicious!” he replied.
Flauschi gently crushed the remaining berries. They stirred in plenty of water. The drink turned pale pink, with tiny fruit flecks dancing in the jug.
Puschel tried a sip. Puschel“Now I know why it is called Berry Sparkle!” Flauschi smiled. Flauschi“And it needs no syrup or extra sugar.” They shared the next berry.
