Hadubrand Blass pushed letters, catalogs and pipe accessories on his living room table aside to make room for the phone. The coffee mug he set off as a precaution on the windowsill.
"No, Samantha, child," he whispered it into the phone, "you do not disturb me. Quite the contrary. I am always when a call from both of you. "
" However, I have just time anyway. In the garden before Christmas would make even some winter ready, but to me, the weather is too disgusting.'s "
" No, it's nothing. Since only one catalog is dropped. "
What was there for a silvery thing on the catalog page? Looked like a thermos bottle. That would perhaps ... The award with two shot down! Still affordable, but would have something decent.
"But, of course I listen to you. But an old man is not always the case with quickly. "
" Yes, my coffee time, but now that's of absolutely no role. "
" No, no, no, not really. Oh, you know, now I wait anyway until the Italian opens in the pedestrian zone. "
"In any case, not even German filter coffee today."
"I do not now. There's: "And when he get word for word from his memory, he read the black print from the catalog in front, stood over the silvery thing" ;. espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato, even creamy chocolate "
" Makkjato does that mean? Not Matschiato? So! "
" No, I have not tried, ... uh, the only way yet. "
"With little sister after shopping, or to the Italians sit together? The one must still make it! "
" do you also never? You are still young. "
" Everything would be one after a bit much. "
" Of course, Munich is more expensive than here. "
" Yes, I have heard. When you ring's, well, see you soon! "
, Mr. Blass on the phone and raised his arm with a Boris Becker-winner fist.
"Did I got you, my sweet? Well, in war and in love everything is permitted. And to love one too sometimes the right gift! "
Christmas dinner the table was cleared in the living room of Mr. Blass clean. In the light of a multi-armed candelabra, he reverently opened the Christmas package to his daughter Samantha. On top was a nice card.
Mr. Blass long regarded the picture, then turned the card over and read:
"Dear Daddy,

Now you do not need to trudge through each horrible weather, if you want to drink even espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato or creamy chocolate. To try out, I like so I bought a thing. Manu and sister also one gets for Christmas. "
