Why loyalty makes real friendships indestructible
Spring had finally arrived in the Neflental valley. Flowers were springing to life everywhere. The birds sang their songs. Rosa Periwinkle jumped out of her bed of moss early in the morning and felt full of energy. Today was going to be a special day.
Her friends were already waiting by the stream. They wanted to hike to the starry meadow together. They wooed and laughed, cut branches and followed the path, which was still glistening with dew. Further up lay the Sternenwiese: A lonely high alpine pasture where small, phosphorescent flowers flickered like stars at night. But today was daytime. The tiny buds were still dormant. Rosa Periwinkle was already looking forward to the evening, when the starry meadow would light up.
But first they visited the violet glade. In this hidden meadow, violets and crocuses appeared everywhere, so densely that the ground was a single carpet of violet, sunshine yellow and leafy green. An old statue loomed in the centre, covered in soft, pearl-grey moss. Rays of sunlight shone directly into its sparkling eyes. Pink periwinkle stood on tiptoe and marvelled at the play of light.
Suddenly they heard an excited cry from the forest. It was the Flossian child Fern, running through the bushes in panic. "Help!" cried Fern, "my little brother is trapped in a crevice between the rocks!" Silence fell immediately. Nobody laughed any more. Now they had to stick together.
Rosa Periwinkle didn't think twice. She ran off and her friends followed suit. No matter how steep the path became, they climbed over stones and roots together. The small crevice in the rock showed them from afar. A soft voice wailed below. Without hesitation, Rosa Periwinkle carefully pushed herself into the narrow opening.
From above, her friends held her by the hands so that she didn't slip. At the bottom, she reached the little Flossian. "Don't be afraid," whispered Rosa Periwinkle, "we'll get you out of there." Very carefully, she pushed the boy up. The friends both pulled back into the light.
Relieved, they all fell into each other's arms. Fern smiled and said: "Thank you. You just didn't hesitate. You've kept us safe." Rosa Periwinkle replied: "Friendship means that you always help each other - no matter how difficult it is."
In the evening, they sat down on the grass in the starry meadow. The first phosphorescent flowers opened their blossoms. Soft, flickering light spread out like a starry sky on earth. They looked at each other and smiled. At that moment they knew: loyalty makes their friendship strong. Wherever one of them needs help, they stand together. They trust each other. No one in Neflental can destroy this bond.
The night shone brighter than ever before. Rosa Periwinkle and her friends lay among the glowing flowers and felt invincible - because they knew what loyalty really meant. Their promise was forever: one for all, all for one.
