Reliability: This is how you become a real hero for everyone!

Reliability in the Neflental: adventures in the heyday of splendour

The glorious high season begins in Neflental. The sun shines brightly and makes everything glow in shades of gold and amber. Rivers and small lakes glisten like dancing sparks of fire. The air is warm and cheerful laughter rings out from everywhere. Colourful lanterns float in the sky while people and gnomes celebrate on the shore. And in the middle of the summer festival, an adventure about reliability begins for Rosa Periwinkle.

A promise at the crystal lake

In the morning, a message arrives in Wiesendorf. The Flossians are inviting everyone to the water lily bay. They want to celebrate the big summer light festival, and of course everyone is invited! Everyone quickly packs their things. The children jump excitedly through the grass. But one worry creeps in: Who will bring the festival drum to Water Lily Bay? The party can't start without it.

Rosa Periwinkle jumps up. "I can take over. I'll take the festival drum safely to Water Lily Bay!" The others are delighted. They know how important reliability is for the Neflental. Because if you can rely on others, you feel safe and secure.

The path through the golden age

The path to the bay of water lilies is not easy. The sun shines warmly over the golden fern meadows. Dragonflies hover over the water and colourful fish glide under the large leaves of the water lilies. Friends are waiting at the edge of the path to have a quick chat. Pink periwinkle waves in a friendly manner, but always stays on the path.

A few Buchians call out: "Come and sit by the campfire, it's so cosy!" And the lanterns above the shore glow enticingly. But reliability means doing what you promised first. Rosa Periwinkle smiles and says: "I'll join you later - first I have to keep my promise." Then she walks on.

Challenges on the way to the bay of water lilies

A sudden gust of wind blows up. The drum almost rolls into the river. But Rosa Periwinkle holds on to it and takes a diversion through the soft moss. This gets her safely to the bay. The wide lake with its large water lily pads, shimmering dragonflies and colourful fish awaits her at her destination. Everything glitters in emerald green and sapphire blue. The Flossians greet them cheerfully.

Reliability is what makes a real hero

Rosa Immergrün hands over the festival drum. Now the festival of light can begin! Everyone sings and dances. Lanterns are reflected in the water. Friends come and pat her on the back. They say: "Just because you're reliable, everyone can celebrate today!"

Acting reliably means keeping a promise - even if it is sometimes difficult. Others rely on you to do what you say. This is how trust grows in Neflental. And everyone realises: reliable friends make life colourful and beautiful!

What do we learn from this?

If you are reliable, you can be a real hero to others. No matter how big the task is - keep your promise! Friends and family will be happy and can count on you. And you can be proud of yourself because you show responsibility. In Neflental, reliability is always rewarded: with joy, colourful celebrations and lots of solidarity.
