THE LITTLE RED DEER

Das kleine Rotwild-Kind

On the fourth moon on the fourth year the eagle from the fourth corners came down to the fourth canons on the swan lake. And as he was flying he saw a little red deer that had no father and no mother. And the eagle talked to the little red deer and said to him: I see that you are very sad. And he asked the little red deer, why he was so sad. And the little red deer told the red eagle that he was so sad because he had no father and no mother. The red eagle told the little red deer that he could take him to a far away place where the red sun sat by the four canons. And the little red dear told him: I want to go far far away to have a father and a mother. And the eagle told the little red dear: Clime on my back and I will take you to your mother and father. And the eagle flew for four days and nights. And as he arrived there one night quietly and gently he left him with his new mama and papa dear. And next morning mama and papa were very happy because they had little red dear with them. And they were so happy they went and tell everybody dear in every village and town about their new red baby deer. And baby deer was so happy he get up early in the morning to play with the other baby deers. They would go and play by the lake they would go and play by the cornfields. They were so happy they were always playing and running. Then of the fourth year of the fourth moon little red deer got very sick for a long time. And he would look sadly out of his window as other little red deer were playing in the snow. He was very sad because he was so sick and wick. And he would cry to mama and papa: Why I’m so sick? And mama and papa would not say anything. And for a long time for many months little red dear would lay on bed so sad and wick. Then one night when he was so sad and so wick he prayed the red eagle prayer. He prayed to the red eagle to come to him, to come for him and to take him away from all pain. And then the red eagle talked to the little red deer: Are you sure little red deer that you want to came back? And the little red deer said to him: I’m so sad and wick. It is time for me to fly high to the sky to leave the earth. And then red eagle said to little red deer: On the fourth moon of the fourth hour I promise to you that I will come to you. Then on the fourth moon on the fourth hour the little red deer told all his friends and his parents, that he will leave. That they should not cry or feel sad, because he was leaving. So exactly  on the fourth moon on the fourth hour little red deer was very sick and wick. He cried very loud.  Red eagle, red eagle, he cried for four times. He was very much in pain. It is time for you to come for me. And red eagle came from the red sun with his great wings and he came into where little red deer was lying in his bed so sad and so sick. He told little red deer to claim on his back and little red deer claimed on red eagles back. And as he was flying back he could see his parents and all his friends crying. And he said to them: Don’t cry for me. I have to leave with the red eagle to the fourth canons by the swan lake. And little red deer flew very high on the back of the big red eagle. And he flew high and higher and  he could see the little small earth. And then little red deer said: Good by, good by mama and papa. And red eagle flew little red deer toward to the stars of the universe.
