When the child was a child, it lived
on apples and bread, that was enough.
:35:30
And it is still that way.
:35:35
When the child was a child, berries fell
only like berries into its hand.
:35:42
And they still do now.
:35:47
Fresh walnuts made its tongue raw,
and they still do now.

Atop each mountain
it was longing for a higher mountain.
:36:00
And in each city
it was longing for a bigger city.
:36:06
And it still does.
:36:13
Reached in the treetop
for the cherries...
:36:16
as excitedly as it still does today.
:36:23
Was shy in front of strangers,
and it still is.
:36:31
Waited for the first snow,
and still waits that way.
:36:44
When the child was a child, it threw
a stick like a lance into a tree.
:36:52
And it"s still quivering there today.
