Textauszug

SYLVIA

“Course two-three-zero!” Amelie announces, looking up from the sea chart. If the wind stays as it is now, they will easily reach their destination, the islands of the Akosua, in two days.

“Anchor’s aweigh!” Ilvie replies after turning the wheel and sailing the Anastasia on the course indicated.

“Oh, this sea is just fantastic - how it shines and glitters!” raves Leonie.

Carlos snores in agreement. The girls put him in the shade on the deck on a few cushions, and even many, many hours after he ate the sleeping potion cake, he is snoring loudly and distinctly.

‘Phew, I sure wish our cook would wake up again!’ Theo twinkles, cradling his little belly. ‘I am soo hungry, can you hear my stomach growling?’

‘Then go get a piece of cake – or see what else is in the galley!’ Ilvie twinkles. ‘But let Carlos sleep in peace!’

‘Aaah, a wonderful idea!’ Theo twinkles and jumps up. Shyly, he looks over at Sammy, who has made himself comfortable next to Carlos and is waiting patiently for his friend to wake up. ‘Should I bring you something, you super little rescue dog?’ the little monkey twinkles.

Sammy looks at Theo startled. The little dog has to get used to their new friendship first – normally he doesn’t make friends that quickly. ‘Umm …‘ twinkles Sammy with embarrassment. ‘Ummm... no, thank you!‘ and he curls up a little closer to Carlos.

‘Grrmpfchrr …!’ says Carlos finally, opening his eyes slowly and sleepily.

‘Hhhrrr! He’s awake! I believe our cook is awake!’ Theo twinkles with excitement, hopping closer to Carlos to see if the boy really is opening his eyes. ‘Ilvie! Ilvie! Carlos is awake! Maybe there will be something to eat very soon!‘

Completely confused, Carlos sits up and rubs his eyes. Yawning, he looks around.

“Welcome back, dear Carlos!” – “Aaah, the snoring is over!” the girls shout, hugging the very surprised Carlos.

“What’s going on here?” the boy mutters, rubbing his eyes again. Sammy licks his friend’s hand tenderly.

The girls tell Carlos everything about the descendants of the Sicarius pirate couple, the sleeping potion cake, and their liberation.

“Phew, that was really close!” Carlos says sheepishly when the girls have finished. “Thank you for the rescue, girls!” He jumps up and hugs each of his friends in turn.

‘And how about me? After all, I was locked up in that stupid chest – don’t I get a hug?’ Theo complains, looking disgusted. Ilvie translates, although she can hardly resist laughing, and finally Carlos also hugs Theo lovingly.

Then he strokes the head of his beloved dog Sammy. “Thank you, my loyal superdog!” he says quietly. ‘Of course...’ twinkles Sammy with embarrassment. ‘It’s fine. I had no choice!‘

“Wow, my stomach is growling!” says Carlos soon afterwards. “Sleep makes you hungry! I’m going to make us something to eat now …”

‘Yayyyy!’ twinkles Theo happily. ‘I’m really glad that our cook has had his beauty sleep!’

While Carlos is clattering around in the galley, the crew is spreading out the picnic blanket. A short while later, the cook appears on deck with a huge tray and proudly announces: “OK, friends! To celebrate the day, we’re going to have a bandit-conquerer banquet!”

“Yayyyy, food!” Leonie cheers. “Such a trip without our Carlos is only half as fine!” she adds.

The friends sit down on the picnic blanket and enjoy the delicacies.

“By the way, we have to fill up our drinking water,” Carlos says between two bites. “Our tanks are almost empty; I just noticed that.”

“OK – then right after we’re done eating, I’ll look at the map to see where the next island where we can get drinking water might be!” says Amelie cheerfully.

‘Ohmygoodness‘ Theo twinkles, almost choking on a bite of the bandit-conquerer feast. ‘We don’t have any water? That’s terrible! Really terrible! What will we do if we can’t find an island that has drinking water? - Ilvie! We will all die of thirst on this sea!’

Ilvie grins lovingly at her little friend. ‘Have you forgotten how good Amelie is?’ she twinkles back. ‘Even if there is only one island with a single drop of drinking water in this whole great sea: Amelie will find it!‘

‘Hopefully, hopefully‘ twinkles the little monkey shaking his head. ‘This adventure is really quite exhausting. First the storm, then the bandits – and now we we’re dying of thirst!‘

But Amelie has already brought the sea chart on deck and is bending over it with concentration. “The Bay of Cheery …,” murmurs the navigator with concentration. “We can get there easily, it’s not far away. There’s a marine research station, I’m sure we can safely fill our tanks there.”

“OK, by the grass-green, one-legged Amphiprion - let’s head for the Bay of Cheery!” Leonie cries. “And a little break in a beautiful bay won’t hurt us either!”

And just a short while later, the Anastasia sails into a small bay with beautiful, crystal clear water. “Ah, look, there’s the research station right over there!” Amelie calls cheerfully, pointing to a small cottage on land.

“Good, we’ll anchor as close to the station as possible,” Leonie says. “Clear to anchor?” calls the captain, taking the helm from Ilvie. “Aye, aye!” replies the crew happily.

‘It’s unbelievable here!’ thinks Ilvie happily while waiting on the bow for Leonie’s next anchor command. She looks at the water in amazement. ‘I have never seen such clear water … and the many colorful fish! There are always more surprising wonders on the earth!’

“Drop anchor!” the captain shouts the expected order. “Aye, aye!” Ilvie replies, sliding the anchor into the water slowly and carefully. “Anchor holding!” she reports loudly shortly after that. “The water in this bay is so incredibly clear that you can see from here where and how exactly the anchor is lying on the bottom!”

Happily, she crosses the deck back to her friends, all of whom are looking into the water with amazement.

“This is really a very special place here, by the grass-green one-legged Amphiprion!”, curses Leonie looking at her friend mischievously. “And there are

quite a few of those down there!” she adds, grinning.

But what does Ilvie mean by that? ‘Aaaah!‘ Theo twinkles and steps back, startled. ‘What’s down there? – a monster? – Amphi … monster? Ohmygoodness, ohmygoodness… not that too.‘

Ilvie snorts with laughter. ‘They’re clownfish, Theo – that’s all: Clownfish. Look at how sweet they are!‘ she twinkles. ‘Clownfish?!...’ twinkles the little monkey in disbelief. ‘This terrible word, the one I can’t even say, simply means – clownfish?’ The little monkey shakes his head in disgust. ‘And how do you know that? To me, that sounds like the scariest monster the world has ever seen!‘

‘Quite simply because I asked Leonie once what she was saying when she was cursing,’ Ilvie twinkled, stroking her little friend’s head. ‘That always helps: Ask questions if you don’t know something.‘

‘Amphiprion is the scientific name for clownfish,’ Ilvie continues. ‘People around the world speak so many different languages, Theo. And Leonie told me that at some point the researchers decided that animals and plants need uniform names. So that there are no misunderstandings and they can be sure that they are talking about exactly the same plant or animal. They have agreed to use Latin. And so now every human being around the world knows exactly which animal is meant.’

The little monkey looks at his friend in disbelief. ‘Any person who speaks this Lafein or Ladein, at least,’ he twinkles with a shake of his head. ‘That’s too difficult for me … but if you think that there are really only clownfish in the water – and no monsters’ – then I can dare to take a look into the water …‘ carefully Theo bends over the rail.

‘Hm-hm …,’ the little monkey twinkles and looks questioningly at the surface of the water. ‘I have to admit … it’s not so bad … and there are really a lot of colorful fish in the water.‘ Ilvie grins. ‘And no monsters, you see, Theo?,’ she twinkles and strokes his fluffy hair.

‘I’ll check the other side – just to be safe!’ Theo twinkles and jumps cheerfully to the other side of the Anastasia. ‘It’s just like over there!‘ the little monkey reports a moment later. ‘Colorful fish, colorful fish, and more colorful fish – and otherwise I don’t … see anything … colorful fish, colorful fish – and nothing else...WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!’ Startled, the little monkey jumps off the railing and hides quickly under the bench. ‘Aaaaahhh, Ilvie, there are monsters after all! I’ve seen them! A monster! A black shadow! A terrible, huge, black shadow monster!’ the little monkey twinkles, whimpering. ‘Brrrr! And it makes air bubbles! And it’s eating up our whole ship! We’re lost!’

‘What did you see, Theo?‘ Ilvie twinkles with amazement, trying to suppress her grin. ‘An air monster?‘

‘Brrr!...’ twinkles the little monkey, whimpering.

Curiously, Ilvie looks over the railing and snorts loudly. ‘That’s not a monster, Theo – that’s a person!‘ she twinkles, giggling. ‘A person in diving equipment!’

‘A person?’ Theo twinkles anxiously. ‘A person under water making air bubbles? What’s that all about!? I don’t believe you, I think you’re just trying to comfort me...
