Ich frage: Wo ist deine Mutter?
Sie ist in den Zoo gegangen.
Ist sie allein gegangen?
Nein, sie ist mit Susan und Jane gegangen.
Warum sind sie in den Zoo gegangen?
Die Mädchen finden Pandas süß.
Ich finde, Pandas sind interessante Tiere.
Das finde ich auch.
Pandas kommen aus China.
Pandas fressen nur Bambus.
Pandas führen ein interessantes Leben.
Sie fressen und schlafen.
Aber die Pandas im Zoo in Wien sind nicht echt.
Was sind sie dann?
Sie sind Plüschtiere.
Chinesische Plüschtiere?
Das glaube ich dir nicht.
Schau das nächste Mal genau hin.
Die Pandas haben Knöpfe, keine Augen.
Du kannst sie sehen, aber sie können dich nicht sehen.
Es ist ein langweiliges Leben, ein Panda zu sein.
I say, where is your mother? She's gone to the zoo. Has she gone on her own? No, she's gone with Susan and Jane. Why have they gone to the zoo? The girls think pandas are sweet. I think pandas are interesting animals. I think so, too. Pandas come from China. Pandas only eat bamboo. Pandas lead interesting lives. Eating and sleeping. But, the pandas in the zoo in Vienna are not real. What are they? They are stuffed toys. Chinese stuffed toys? I don't believe you. Look closely next time time. The pandas have buttons, not eyes. You can see them, but they can't see you. It's a boring life being a panda

And, now to our story, The Farm at Lane's End, chapter 37
I say, Claire, what can I give my mum for her birthday? what can one give someone who's already got everything they need?
That's a very good question, Dave. I wish I knew. There must be something your mum needs.
Needing and wanting are two different things, Claire.
OK, so let's concentrate on something your mum would like, not on something she needs.
How about a new frying pan, Dave?
Definately not a good idea, Claire. Last year, Dad gave mum a frying pan. She nearly killed him with it.
I can fully understand her, Dave.
Claire, What did you get your mum last year?
Let me think for a second or two, Dave. I know, I can remember. Last year, my dad and I gave mum a present between us. It wasn't so expensive, but, it's the thought that counts.
Was she happy with it, Claire?
She was over the moon! I couldn't belive it.
So, what did you get your mum?
If I tell you Dave, promise to keep it a secret. Mum's the word!
I promise, Claire. Come on, spill the beans.
OK, You promise not tell?
I promise!
We gave mum a jar of marmalade. And, it wasn't even expensive. Dad bought it at the Church Christmas bazaar.
A great idea, Claire. I'll get my mum a jar of marmalade as well.
And, Dave you don't even need to buy one. I have a jar in my cupboard. You csn take it with you when you go.
Thanks, Claire.
