Lindas Glücklicher Tag

von Linda Maendel & Sonia Maendel

Linda wohnt auf einer Hutterer Kolonie. Sie ist meistens so wie andere Kinder in ihrem Alter. Sie hat eine liebe Familie und eine Menge nette Freundinnen, mit denen sie gern spielt. Zur Zeit hat Linda nur noch einen Wunsch – sie möchte so gern ihren eigenen Schlitten. Wie wird ihr dieser Wunsch wohl erfüllt werden?
(Text is written in German, with dialog in Hutterite dialect.)
