Pirate Friends

Kuro jumped into the swift river.  The water was freezing.   B-r-r-r!  The river was wide, so it took a long time to swim across it.

Tom gave his scarf to the T-Rex, to help pull Kuro to shore.  The Tyrannosaurus saved Kuro just in time! Phew!

Kuro landed in the middle of a stormy sea.  The raft drifted off over the waves.  The wind blew wildly and the stormy sea roared! Whoo-hoo-hoo…

When he got to the sleeping room, it was really dark inside.  The stars watched over him as he decided to take a nap. Z-z-z-z.

“There you are!” wagging his tail. “We knew you would find us!” they said. Together they played and ran and danced and told each other stories…. …and they had a big leaf fight.

Kuro went outside and looked all over the playground for his friends. He could not find them, so he sat down on the soft cool grass.  A-h-h-h.

Kuro woke up and rushed outside….There he found autumn leaves…He collected many leaves and ran to the park….

He dreamt of all the times he went to the forest with his friends.  During one adventure in the woods, they were stuck in the bushes.  Luckily, André was there to save them from the prickly thorns…Ouch!

Kuro saw stairs that looked like a high mountain.  He decided to go up the steep stairs.  It was hard work but finally he got to the top, and then…Plunk!

Based on the story from Eric Carle „Friends“

After Kuro looked everywhere for his friends, he felt exhausted. He looked up at the clouds and fell asleep. He dreamt that he was floating on one of the clouds. M-m-m…

But one day, Kuro was all alone. His friends were gone. “I miss them,“ he howled. “I must find them“ he barked. “Wherever they are, I must find them!“ he thought.

He ate a snack and drank some water. Then he counted to ten...

Once there was a kindergarten where all the pirate friends came together.

Here we are with all our pirate friends in the “Rheinpiraten” kindergarten in Hitdorf, Leverkusen. Here you have spent many days playing and making new friends for life. Our friends Marlon and Henning took this picture.

The picture was taken on the 19th November 2021.
