Beschreibung

"Xanuxa, hey!" That's what the Goat said the first moment he saw her and he's been greeting this pond frog like this ever since. Although spontaneously born, this friendship rapidly becomes interesting and enriching, where both animals are eager to learn more from one another. But it's also an unusual one, that will be put to the test by intolerance and envy. Will their differences bring them together or apart?

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Xanuxa, hey!" That's what he said the first moment he saw her and he's been greeting this pond frog like this ever since. There was never a "Good morning!" or a "Hello, how are you?", nor did he ever ask what her name was. As soon as he looked at the face of that brown-eyed frog, terrified but curious, it immediately came out of his mouth without thinking, "Xanuxa, hey!" Later he thought that the reason for that name lies in the repetition of the letter "x", but he wasn't sure. He only knew that he had spoken spontaneously, just like humans do. He had never been able to pronounce a single word until that day, until that moment.

When he approached the pond, the other frogs were quick to sound the alarm and plunged into the water with a loud thud. All of them quickly looked for a leaf, a rock or some dense mud to hide in. But not this frog! She remained motionless. Her curiosity was stronger than her fear and she felt her legs were stuck to the water lily leaf. She didn't want to hide in the murky depths of the pond. No, she had to stay there to satisfy her curiosity. It was the first time she had seen him and for the first time she felt compelled to stay.

All that could be heard in the pond now was the buzzing sound of the mosquitoes and dragonflies. Alone and tense the frog slowly gained courage, filled its lungs with air and replied: "mééééé!"
