Loyalty: Why true friends stick together!

True friendship in Neflental

In the heart of the Neflental lies a special area: the Tauglanzhain. Spring has just sprung. Pale pink apple blossoms scent the warm air. Pastel-coloured butterflies flutter lightly between yellow dandelions and white daisies. The sky is light blue and a silvery stream meanders through emerald green grass. Birds sing among the trees as life begins anew.

A plan for a picnic at the Löwenmaullichtung

Rosa Periwinkle wakes up early and looks outside. She sees flowers dancing everywhere. The day is perfect for an adventure with her friends from Neflental. So she packs a big picnic and sets off. She invites everyone: the Buchians, the Flossians, a little mountain stone and even the white elves. They want to celebrate at the Lion's Mouth Glade. Golden yellow flowers bloom there, their buds looking like little animal heads. It's a funny sight!

Community in the sunny clearing

Everyone quickly meets up in the clearing. The meadow feels as soft as butter. Snapdragon flowers shine everywhere in the sunlight. The group is happy to be together. They share delicious berries, crusty bread and warm tea. The Flossians roll through the flowers with exuberance. The Buchians tell jokes. An elf makes colourful wreaths from daisies.

A sudden storm

But suddenly a cloud darkens the sky. The wind begins to blow. The little periwinkles' favourite kite gets tangled up in the highest branch of the old cherry tree! The little ones look anxiously at the others. Who will help? Some immediately think: "It's going to be too dangerous! The branch is thin and the wind is whistling wildly!"

However, Rosa Periwinkle sees the worry in her friends' eyes. She makes a decision.

Friends are strong together

The group discusses things. Sometimes friends are scared because something seems difficult. But real friends don't give up! Rosa Periwinkle asks the Flossians if they can climb up the stream and find firm roots to hold on to. The Buchians suggest making a robber's ladder together. The mountain stone holds the branch so that it doesn't break. And the elves flutter excitedly around the dragon to carefully release it from the branches.

So everyone helps out. Rosa Periwinkle bravely reaches for the dragon. Slowly but surely, they bring the toy back together. It takes time because everyone has to join in, but they manage it! There is great joy when the colourful dragon dances gently across the lion's mouth clearing again.

Loyalty holds friendship together

After their adventure, they all sit close together around the soft picnic cloth. They smile at each other. They feel: because they stuck together, they made it! Loyalty is important in Neflental. People help each other, no matter how difficult something seems at the time. This is how true friendship is formed. No one is alone as long as friends remain loyal.

And while the sun makes the golden yellow flowers in the Löwenmaull clearing shine even brighter, everyone knows that a loyal heart brings light even on dull days. So the promise of friendship remains alive in Neflental.

What do we learn from this?

Loyalty means standing by your friends, even when the going gets tough. Together you are braver and stronger. If you stick together, you can do anything. Loyal friends bring joy and security into your life because they never let you down. Friendship shines brighter than any sun in the lion's mouth glade in Neflental.
