i want to get out of here, please, said the little hamster. he did not know, where he was, but he hoped, somebody would hear him. it was dark and he was lost. he also did not know, how he got there. one time he went into, he did not even know why. there has to be an exit, he thought. can anybody hear me? he called very softly. is somebody there? he stood still and listened. yes, he could hear something from very far away. maybe the exit was there. now the litte hamster took heart again. he wanted to reach the voices shortly, because he did not like to stay alone. it was a bad feeling being lonely and not knowing where. i should not have gone into, he thought, but now it is too late. now i am lost. hello, he shouted loudly, where are you? he went faster and faster, but suddenly he stopped. the voices did not come nearer. was he wrong? maybe there were no voices. he stood silently and listened carefully. yes, there they were again. but maybe he went in the wrong direction. did not the voices become lower? he did not know. hello, you! he shouted again, as loud as he could. i think it is better to return, the hamster said to encourage himself. i would rather go back before it gets too late. so he turned around and went his way back. now he felt that the voices became louder. he shouted with his full strength: hello, voices! can you hear me? he stood still to listen again. there they were. fine, the hamster said to himself, i knew i was right. and he quickly went further. he was full of hope again. the voices would come nearer, that gave him new power. also the darkness was not so bad anymore. he hurried up. he concentrated on the voices carefully, so he did not even realize, that he got more and more tired. in the next morning god took the dead hamster out of his wheel.
