Anton’s head is bursting with thoughts. The gardener is seething with anger: who has trampled her flower beds?
In the park Anton is looking for someone to play chess with. For someone who plays a better game than his dachshund. The gardner is looking for a mysterious vandal who has lost a yellow boot. But perhaps they are both looking for the same?
Anton platzt fast der Kopf vor lauter Denken. Der Gärtnerin platzt fast der Kragen vor lauter Ärger. Im Park sucht Anton jemanden zum Schachspielen. Jemanden, der besser spielt als sein Dackel. Die Gärtnerin sucht einen rätselhaften Vandalen, dem ein gelber Stiefel fehlt. Aber vielleicht suchen ja beide das Gleiche?
