Funny winter story about a shop in the woods.
I was sitting in my room by the warm fireplace. Outside it was cold. All of a sudden I heard how someone tiny was knocking on my window. I quickly opened it, delighted to see my guest. It was my old friend, the sparrow Ashycap from the neighboring street. He was all frost-bitten.
“It’s icy cold out there,” he chirped, “but here it’s quite cozy. Allow me to warm up a little!”
“Make yourself at home,” I said and threw one more log into the fire.
“And now tell me a bit about what’s happening in town. You sparrows always find out the latest news.”
“Oh, haven’t you heard that the magpie opened a shop?” Sparrow asked while still trembling slightly.
“Old lady magpie?” I exclaimed, surprised, “You don’t say! Where is that shop?”
“I am heading there right now,” The sparrow said excitedly, “and I stopped by along the way. But, if you want, we can go together. I heard that they sell all kinds of goods.”
