Look, what I found! "Calls Hannibal the globetrotting mouse. With a large set, he hops onto the blanket and runs so fast it goes to Finn's face.
In his hand he holds a piece of rope made of thick, solid wire. He proudly holds it up Finn's eyes.
Finn rubs his eyes, because actually he was just asleep. Still a bit 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 is not on it.
"A wire rope, of course," shouts Hannibal and Finn pressed the piece of rope in his hand.
Finn has barely touched it, he hears even a loud crackling. 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 everywhere birdsong is heard and a large beetle crawling on the floor.
"Come quickly," calls Hannibal, the tugs impatiently at Finn's leg. "We must hurry, school starts soon."
Finn looks at his little friend in disbelief: "What school are you?"
Hannibal points down into the valley. Finn noticed only now 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.
"Since we have to go down?" He asks rather anxiously. "And how do we do that?"
Hannibal smiles and shows his friend a role of iron. Thus, a role he's ever seen on an adventure playground. Then he could hang on a rope and swing from one pole to another. This had made him 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?" He asks.
"Well, we do it like everybody else," replied Hannibal, pointing to three Colombian children who are on a thick pole. From there, a strong cable results in the opposite mountains. Now Finn also notes on the other mountains more ropes. These hang high above the valley, it would fit 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. For that is quite difficult and very dangerous. "
Finn and Hannibal watch the three children at her expectantly. All have some kind of belt with an elongated strap. So they make themselves fast to the role and at the wire. 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 pushes vigorously off the ground and glides 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 can not believe his eyes and nods. The rope from the opposite mountain is a cow. He stares incredulously at Hannibal.
"The rope transported not only humans but also animals, and if need be, then a piece of furniture," said Hannibal, who is now sitting 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.
Finn and drops as the length of rope in his hand to the ground, he hears the loud crackling and colorful floats on the clouds, which quickly carry him home to his soft warm bed. He has become tired and snuggles 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, one.
