Todos os Capítulos de A Little Empathy Is All We Need: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

Ever since I was a little kid I dreamed of being able to do magic. I longed to be able to conjure up certain things or to be able to change somewhat tricky situations in an instant. And the older I got, the more this desire grew in me. When I was a little girl, envious and admiring, I listened to the fairy tales that my favorite grandmother from Munich always read to me in the evenings. In these stories, witches and wizards performed real exploits and turned everything for good, although these creatures were constantly portrayed only as evil by humans. For as long as I could think clearly, I wondered why people thought witches and wizards were bad. I was also amazed that, despite everything, so many people dreamed of being able to do magic or be a witch. Because supposedly it was "devilish". When, as a little girl, I couldn't fall asleep in the evening, I imagined everything I would change if I had magical powers. The first thing I made up my mind was to free my mother from her ment

When I had recharged enough strength on his shoulder that morning, on which I told my husband my complete life story for the very first time, I reminded him of the May day one and a half years ago when I told him that I was going to have a had found a handicapped accessible apartment with daily 24-hour care. Because Finn had to study at least another year at the University of Frankfurt, but I wanted to be close to my family again as soon as possible, we decided that I would move to Munich alone for the first time. Because we wanted to go back to our old homeland, I was looking for a suitable apartment there. After leaving school, I stayed in Frankfurt because of Finn. It was an advantage that I had not learned a specific profession, but worked in a workshop for disabled people. Because I was able to quit my job in Frankfurt and move to Munich without any major difficulties. " >Nice! And when are you going out? 'You asked shortly on this May day. 

Yes, and your friend also comes from the planet of witches and wizards, just like you. He will always be by your side and get through everything with you.", My father explained to me. Carefully covered me a little higher. “Besides, he loves you as soon as you love him, Zerlina, and will carry you through life on hands. But before this can happen, you have to complete the task assigned to you and solve a corresponding puzzle. And when your parents on the planet of witches and wizards see that you serve the people here on this planet with a lot of zeal and determination, your wedding and Finn's wedding will be held as a reward. And maybe Finn and you later even have the opportunity to travel to your birth families. But I don't know. Because nobody told me anything about this matter. However, I can well imagine that your families will bring you to their home when they see that you take your life's tasks seriously and do it conscientiously. Because Finn has also been assigned a ce

"And what are people so afraid of and what makes them so madly angry at the same time, Papa, that they feel disturbed by the different religions of their fellow men, for example, and kill each other?"I remembered and chatted little thoughtless. Because, as I was able to observe more and more clearly in the last years of my life, the most important thing was the fear and excessive anger towards other people who stood above others and acted as if they knew much more about life and the world Had to take people. And even as a young person I sensed that you could create a large part of peace if you could get these two things out of people.Eternal world peace would not have been brought here straight away, but part of normal peace would have been brought here. Because living beings were simply too obscure and too complicated in their essence. But if you could take away their anger and fear, you'd be a giant step further. And maybe then the lack of insight, the disinterest

I didn't even know that you were a witch who could do magic,‹ I replied timidly after my grandmother had finished with her “lecture”. ›Very funny, Zerlina! I must have heard the irony in your voice. You must have learned that from Wolfram. Because he too could or can be so sarcastic. But who, my friends, do you think gave your birth parents the idea of sending you to this earth, huh? I! Because you just seemed like you were cut out for this task. I thought you could and should stand up for the disabled, sick and old people. Because you were born as a severely disabled witch and you can put yourself in the shoes of these people.This is the only reason you came to this earth. And I hope you will submit to your fate this time and do the job you have been asked to do perfectly! 'Said Emma in a serious tone and skilfully threw her scarf over her shoulder. ›Grandmother, why do creatures that have nothing to

Why are these giants with the hexagonal eyes called the inhabitants of the yellow planet? Is your home planet yellow? 'It suddenly occurred to me. ›And why can't these giants be seen by humans and animals, but only by us witches and wizards?‹ ›Well, why the creatures with the hexagonal eyes, which by the way look as if they are wearing funny glasses, cannot be seen by humans and animals, I cannot tell you exactly. But they too have magical powers with which they obviously manage to remain invisible to the beings that are not magical beings. And they also fly through space and thus reach neighboring worlds. And why they are called the inhabitants of the yellow planet is easy to explain. Because your little earth has an ozone layer that shimmers yellow. Just as the earth of humans and animals shimmers bluish when seen from space. But probably not everything on the yellow planet looks yellow. Because not everything looks blue here. Every thing

 "Yes, and you can nibble on these rustic pieces of furniture sooooooo nicely!" Replied my mouse man dryly and snuggled into my lap. At first I missed all my friends from Frankfurt a lot. And so was one of the most beautiful Momo, my very sweet kitten. Momo was given to me by one of my assistants ”, I continued after a while and hugged my little cat lady to me, overjoyed.Suddenly one morning the young woman was standing in the middle of my living room with a basket. She gave me Momo so that I wouldn't feel so lonely. Sweet is not it?! When she opened the basket, a tiny white-gray snub nose greeted me timidly. It was a bit daring from a personal assistant to give me a cat. But if my little cat grew up with a mouse, maybe they could stop her from hunting mice, I thought. With cheeks flushed with joy, I then declared out loud that I wanted to try this at least once. Even if it sounds improbable, giving a cat, and a very young one at that,

A few hours after Finn and I told each other about our experiences, I was attacked for the first time by a giant from the yellow planet. That is, this time I was aware of it. Despite its weight and size, the inhabitant of the yellow planet had slipped quietly through my half-open window in the living room. Because there were particularly hot nights this summer, I couldn't sleep with the window closed. Suddenly this terrifying creature was standing in front of my bed. While I was still asleep, I did not notice how this ugly creature appeared, pulled the pillow from under my head and pressed it to my face with angry violence. When I woke up and felt that I could no longer breathe, I fidgeted and tried to get the pillow off my face. But after a few attempts in which I messed up my whole bed, I had to realize that I had no chance against this strong being that was trying to suffocate me. I was almost resigned to the fact that my very last few seconds had begun as my senses slowly faded

When I was living in Munich for almost two months, Emma, Wolfram's mother, woke me up quite roughly one night, I reported after a short break. This time my grandmother was sitting on my television. Because there was no other seat in my bedroom. Except for my bed, of course; my television was very close to the window. Only in winter did I sleep with the window closed. During this time Emma came floating through the walls. " ›You have to get yourself a sensible and comfortable armchair!‹ Emma growled at me unfriendly and examined my numerous photos of my friends on the walls with interest. Enough light shone into my room from the skyscrapers opposite that my grandmother could see everything pretty clearly. I looked at her with small, sleepy eyes and whispered: 'Oh, Grandma, let me sleep. I'm so tired. ›No, no, Zerlina, now you will have your very first magic lesson,‹ came the harsh voice of my t

'Pah, Grandma, what are you asking of me?' I said in disgust. ›That's disgusting!‹ 'Would you like to learn to do magic or not?' Shouted my father's mother, a little excited, poking my cheek with her pointed finger. ›You have to take on a few things that may not be sooo pleasant. Think about your life's work, your biological family and your Finn. ‹ ›Are you sure that Finn and I really go together?‹ I suddenly exclaimed without thinking. At the same time, I noticed that there was a lot of skepticism in my voice that could hardly be ignored. I quickly bit my lip. But before Emma could be surprised at my thoughtless remark, I quickly asked: 'And anyway, why do I have to be ready to conscientiously help people and protect them from exterminating one another before I can marry Finn Schwelm? Why can't I just become his wife like that? Because we belong together anyway and should get married. I mean, we've
