On the roof of the last house in a little village was a stork's nest. The mother stork sat in it with her four young ones, who stuck out their heads with their little black beaks. (You see, their beaks had not yet turned red as they would in time.) And a little way off, all alone on the ridge of the roof, stood Father Stork, very upright and stiff. He was really a sentry on guard but, so that he would not be entirely idle, he had drawn up one leg. My, how grand he looked, standing there on one leg! So still you might have thought he was carved from wood!

"One of you will be hanged, the second imprisoned, the third burned and the fourth turned upside down." This is how the children mocked the family of storks that lived on the roof. This frightened the chicks and, to reassure them, their mother spoke of the long journey they would soon take. And, who knows, perhaps one day they would have their revenge on the little tyrants who mocked them in their nest. - Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist.

This is a story from the Thumbelina and Other Fairy Tales collection.

"Das Land am Ende der Welt" - so bezeichnen die Bretonen ihre Heimat. Hier haben es Fremde nicht leicht, auch wenn sie wie Morgane eine bretonische Mutter und neuerdings ein überschuldetes Häuschen an der Küste haben - schrullige alte Mitbewohnerin inklusive. Doch Morgane spürt ganz deutlich: Mit ihrem halben bretonischen Herz gehört sie hierher ins Finistère.
