I grandi e i piccoli

In summer the storm bursts; the cuckoo sings; poppies blossom. In winter, the snow falls; the dormouse sleeps; soup's cooking.

Summer has arrived, and the ice cream cart with it. There's a flea market in the village square.

Spring is coming. Ina and Jonas want to go play ball in the park; Manfred meets Elke and Lenzo, Susanne darts around on her scooter and someone throws a banana peel in the sidewalk.

It’s winter. It’s cold and it’s snowing. The little lake in the park is frozen and you can skate on it. Lisa has missed her bus again.

Autumn has come. People gather together to celebrate at the country fair. An exhibition is going on at the cultural centre to reward the most beautiful pumpkin of all.

On the ground a mushroom grows, a donkey browses, a hare escapes; under the ground a seed sprouts, a mole digs, a frog sleeps...

You can read nature as if it were a tale. Verbs like to blossom, to sprout, to grow, to fruit, to wither, pace the story.

In the sky the cloud runs, the bird flies, the plane goes by… And in the sea?
