Deers, salamanders and a gold fish

I told you that Germany is green. And that one day I would take out my hiking boots and that I would walk. Hiking even. In the green.

So, that's what I did. My own German and me. Hiking in the German green.

First stop with my own German guide. Ants. Thousands. They live in an enormous hill. And they itch. Very. Very. Very. Itchy.

Second stop. A mouse. Well, I am not afraid of mouses and this one clearly is not afraid of me. I sit down and watch it's activities. Without being itchy.

Third stop. A black and yellow fire salamander. Now, this is interesting. I have never seen a black and yellow striped shiny salamander before. We just don't have them in my home town.

The hike stops with my own German promising we go searching for deers next time. I like deers. I don't have them in my home town. And they are not itchy.

So, I am into green now. And into animals. For days I am asking my own German for my own German animal.

It's decided. I get... a gold fish.
At least they are not itchy.
