There is a seventeen-year-old girl living in our town. I think
she is the most beautiful girl in Germany. She's got long blonde
hair and bright blue eyes. Her name is Grauben, and we are
in love. vVe want to get married. That's why I didn't want tci
go with my uncle on his mysterious trip. But he coulclr1t
understand that.
"Are you in love with Grauben ?"
"Yes."
"And you want to marry her?"
"Yes."
The professor was silent. He was a good man, but he could
not understand love because his only interest was science. He
forgot what I said and b~gan to talk about our journey.
"Today is the 26th of May. We have one month to get to
Sneffdls. We're going to take the train to Denmark, and then
we'll take a boat to Iceland. The whole trip is going to take
twelve clays, then we have to walk to the volcano."
I could not listen to him anymore. My heart felt heavy. The
professor needed an assistant and he did not want anyone else
to know about this secret.. But how could I leave my Grauben?
I went for a walk through the beautiful city of Hamburg. 1
walked along the Elbe river thinking of C:rauben. I stopped
for a moment to look at a fishing boat sailing on the calm water.
Then I turned and, like magic, she was there. C:rauben, my
C:rauben, stood twenty feet away, looking at the river.
"Grauben!"
She looked like an angel.
\J\Ie ran into each other's arms and kissed.
"Oh, Axe)! I'm so excited!"
She sounded very happy, but I couldn't understand why.
"Excited? Why are you excited, my love?"
"I was at your house. I heard about your journey. Isn't it
wonderful?"
For a moment, I felt sad. So, Grauben wanted me to go away
from her!
"But, Grauben , we want to get married . I don't know when
I'm coming back."
She looked at me lovingly and held my hand.
"It doesn't matter. I'll still wait for you. Don't you understand?
This is the kind ofjourney all great tncn tnust tn<tkc. When
you come back, you're going to be r;tlll()ll.~ lik e your uncle.
Then, our life will be perfect together."
"Do you really mean that?"
She touched my f~1ce and Sllliled.
"Of cou.rse I do."
"Oh, Grauben , you are the most: wonderli.d girl in the world!"
Back at my uncle's house, 1 felt excited. Then, I thought of
something. Maybe this adventure was too dangerous. Maybe
we wouldn't come back. I ran into the library where my uncle
was. "Uncle, is it possible that we won't come back fi·om this
journey?" His answer didn't make me feel any better.
"There's only one way to find out, Axe! ... "
