English Translation (Freely translated by the author) 

One lovely winter's day you were lying on your tummy, reading a book. 

Suddenly the phone rang. 

You stretched out your hand and answered the phone. 

"Hallo?" you said. 

"You must come immediately," said the voice on the phone. 

"There are big trouble in the Knysna Woods." 

"And how do you expect me to get to the Knysna Woods?" you asked.

"Did you read page 2?" asked the voice. 

"Yes," you replied. "I am now reading page 3." 

"Very well then," the voice said angrily. "Turn over the page." 

"Allright," you said and you put down the phone and turned to page 4.
