Look, what I found! "Cries Hannibal the globetrotting mouse. With a large set, he hops onto the blanket and running as fast as it goes to Finn's face.
In his hand he holds a piece of rope made of thick, solid wire. He proudly holds it in front of Finn's eyes.
Finn rubs his eyes, because actually he was just asleep. A little tired, he sits up and sees his little friend Hannibal curiously.
"What's that?" Asks Finn and looks at the silver part in Hannibal's hands a little more closely.
"Well, what it," Hannibal says impatiently. But Finn can not work it.
"A wire rope, of course," shouts Hannibal and Finn pressed the piece of rope in his hand.
Finn has barely touched it, he heard a loud crackling sound already. He feels like he was floating on colorful clouds. But the next moment he plops onto the floor. Is he about fell out of bed?
No, because the ground around him is strong, green grass, it feels very different from the plush blue carpet in his bedroom. His journey began in his pajamas. But where he and Hannibal have landed, he must first find out more.
Finn gets up and looks down at himself. A few green leaves stuck to his pajama pants. Around him are all plants, with huge green leaves and colorful flowers that smell sweet. From every bird song is heard and a large beetle crawling on the floor.
"Come quickly," cried Hannibal, who tugs impatiently at Finn's leg. "We must hurry, school starts soon."
Finn looks at his little friend in disbelief: "What kind of school, then?"
Hannibal points down into the valley. Only now noticed Finn that they are on a high mountain. And the two around Finn can only see mountains. One after another, and all are covered with big green trees.
As Finn once again look into the valley, it is very uncomfortable.
"We have to come down?" He asks a little anxious. "And what shall we do that?"
Hannibal smiles and shows his friend a role in iron. Thus, a role he has ever seen on an adventure playground. Then he could hang on a rope and swing from one pole to another. That he had been fun and he had felt like Tarzan in the jungle. But what such a role with the school had to do in the Valley?
"What shall we do with it?" He asks.
"Well, we do it like everybody else," replied Hannibal and displays on three Colombian children who are at a big boom. From there a strong wire rope leads to one of the opposite mountains. Now Finn also notes on the other mountains more Ropes. These are suspended high above the valley, it would fit even a skyscraper under it. The wide and wild river in the valley you can barely see.
"I do not think so! You're still a joke, Hannibal. Or, "asks his friend Finn.
Hannibal laughs and replies, "No, let's look at just that. This is actually very difficult and very dangerous. "
Finn and Hannibal watch the three children at her expectantly. All have some kind of belt with an extended belt. So they make themselves fast to the role and the rope. The children show Finn a wooden fork.
"If they want to slow down, push the fork against the rope," said Hannibal.
Finn turns to the children. One thing has been hung on the rope, bump into vigorously off the ground and glide like a trapeze artist in the opposite direction of the mountain.
"Why is it here because no roads and no bridges?" Finn asked pensively. "That would be much safer."
Hannibal nodded. "That's true," he replies. "But roads and bridges are very expensive and the people here in Colombia are very poor." Finn does not believe his eyes and nods. The rope from the opposite mountain is a cow. Incredulous, he stares at Hannibal.
"The cable does not only transport people but also animals, and if need be, then a piece of furniture," said Hannibal, who now sits on Finn's shoulder and pulls impatiently at his ear.
"Come, we must go. It's getting late, "he whispers in his ear.
"What? Already? "Asks Finn. "I wanted to see even a flying carpet or a flying unit," Finn says, disappointed.
"Next time, maybe," replied Hannibal.
And as Finn drops the piece of rope in his hand to the ground, he hears the loud crackling and colorful floats on the clouds, which quickly carry him home in his soft warm bed. He has become tired and snuggles up with Hannibal deep into his duvet. "Am I glad that we have roads and sidewalks, where can I go to school," he thinks and goes to sleep, totally exhausted from the journey, a.
