In uno zoo, un ragazzo si sofferma affascinato davanti alla gabbia di un lupo e, siccome l'animale ha soltanto un occhio, anche il ragazzo, con estrema sensibilità, tiene chiuso uno dei suoi.

Grauer Flug steht unter Schock. Er hat immer fest daran geglaubt, dass Wald- und Moorkatzen in Frieden zusammenleben können.
