The rainbow never sets

"All this belongs to us," I said, pointing to the horizon. "It's really big," Helmut said, "As far as the eye can see, hey?" "These buildings which you can see over there under the trees also belong to us. That is called 'Antonin'. Opa bought it, because some excellent land came with it. We are now using it as an out station, and the sheds are used for some more young cattle. The worker responsible for this, lives in the farm house."

"Well, you sure have plenty of land." When we arrived back home, it was time to pack our bags. Supper was served, and after a walk with the whole family through the park, we went to bed.

Next morning Vater got us up at 5. He was already dressed and ready to start his day. We said good-bye to him, had a quick breakfast, a drink from a thermos, and there was Franz already waiting with the six-seater coach. Günter went straight to the front seat next to Franz, and we settled in the back.

No one spoke much. It was too early. Helmut was deep in thought.

"It's been really a prima weekend," he said, "Thanks for inviting me." "You must come again."

"That's for sure." The train was on time. A new week awaited us in Posen.
