Lese-Probe zu „Zebra Forest “
We called it the Zebra Forest because it looked like a zebra. Its trees were a mix of white birch and chocolate oak, and if you stood a little ways from it, like at our house looking across the back field that was our yard, you saw stripes, black and white, that went up into green. Gran never went out there except near dusk, when the shadows gathered. She didn t like to be out in full sunlight usually, and told me once she didn t like the lines the trees made. Gran was always saying stuff like that. Perfectly beautiful things like a clean blue sky over the Zebra made tears come to her eyes, and if I tried to get her to come outside with me, she d duck her head and hurry upstairs to bed. But then it would be storming, lightning sizzling the tops of the trees, and she d run round the house, cheerful, making us hot cocoa and frying up pancakes and warming us with old quilts. We had few rules in our house, but keeping out of the Zebra Forest in a storm was one of them.
