Lena und ihre beste Freundin Sarah spielten im Garten, als Lena sich plötzlich an etwas erinnerte: “Oh nein! Ich habe vergessen, meinen Hamster Max in seinen Käfig zu legen, bevor wir rausgegangen sind!”
“Was ist passiert?”, fragte Sarah besorgt.
“Als ich zurück in mein Zimmer kam, war der Käfig leer. Ich habe überall gesucht, aber ich kann ihn nicht finden. Ich mache mir Sorgen, dass er draußen sein könnte”, antwortete Lena mit Tränen in den Augen.
“Wir müssen ihn finden. Lass uns zusammen suchen”, schlug Sarah vor.
Die beiden Mädchen begannen im Garten zu suchen. Sarah rief: “Max! Max!”, während Lena in der Nähe des Hauses nach ihm suchte. Aber es gab keine Spur von dem kleinen Hamster.
Plötzlich hörten sie ein leises Quietschen aus dem Haus. “Das kommt aus meinem Zimmer!”, rief Lena und rannte hinein.
Sarah folgte ihr und fragte: “Was ist los?”
Lena öffnete ihren Kleiderschrank und rief: “Max, bist du da drin?“
Zu ihrer Erleichterung saß Max in einem Schuh auf einem der Regale im Kleiderschrank.
“Du bist sicher und kuschelig in meinem Schuh versteckt! Ich bin so froh, dass wir dich gefunden haben”, sagte Lena erleichtert.
Von diesem Tag an sorgte Lena dafür, dass Max immer sicher in seinem Käfig war, bevor sie das Haus verließ.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The Lost Pet
Lena and her best friend Sarah were playing in the garden when Lena suddenly remembered something. “Oh no! I forgot to put my hamster Max in his cage before we went outside!“
“What happened?” asked Sarah, worried.
“When I went back to my room, the cage was empty. I searched everywhere but I can’t find him. I’m worried he might be outside,” Lena answered with tears in her eyes.
“We have to find him. Let’s search together,” Sarah suggested.
The two girls started searching in the garden. Sarah called out, “Max! Max!” while Lena looked around the house. But there was no sign of the little hamster.
Suddenly, they heard a faint squeaking from inside the house. “That’s coming from my room!” Lena exclaimed and ran inside.
Sarah followed her and asked, “What’s going on?“
Lena opened her closet and called out, “Max, are you in there?“
To her relief, Max was sitting in a shoe on one of the shelves in the closet.
“You’ve been hiding safe and snug in my shoe! I’m so glad we found you,” Lena said, relieved.
From that day on, Lena made sure Max was always safe in his cage before she left the house
