Wusel Forest Freshness
After hopping, the two take a break with cucumber and lemon water from their picnic basket.
The little story
The Hopping Engine Takes a Break
Puschel and Flauschi had tried a little hopping trail on the meadow. Puschel added one extra hop, then sat contentedly on a low stump. Puschel“My hopping engine needs a break.”
Flauschi had brought cucumber and lemon water. She poured it into two small cups. Flauschi“Our paws can rest too.”
Puschel studied a cucumber slice. Puschel“It looks like a tiny wheel!” Flauschi“We do not need wheels for drinking,” said Flauschi with a smile.
They drank quietly and listened to the leaves. Then they walked on at an easy pace. Not every forest adventure had to be a hopping race.
