How it begins

GermanEnglish

Ich heiße Max und bin zwölf Jahre alt. Mein Bruder Leo ist neun. Letzten Sommer wollten wir unbedingt im Wald zelten, ganz allein, wie richtige Abenteurer.

My name is Max and I'm twelve years old. My brother Leo is nine. Last summer we really wanted to camp in the forest, all on our own, like real adventurers.

„Im Wald? Allein? Nein“, hat Mama gesagt. „Aber im Garten dürft ihr zelten. Eine Nacht.“

"In the forest? On your own? No," Mum said. "But you can camp in the garden. One night."
