Bill begann, sich Sorgen zu machen: „Gewöhn sie nicht zu sehr an uns Menschen, sagte er. „Wir wollen sie bald wieder auswildern! Susanne wagte gar nicht an den Tag zu denken. Doch er kam eines nachts war Daisy gegangen. Die hatte den Ruf der Wildnis gehört. Es dauerte ein ganzes Jahr, bis sie wieder auftauchte. Sie kam ins Camp, und bei ihr waren ihre zwei Jungen. Als wollte Daisy stolz vorführen, wozu sie es in der Zwischenzeit gebracht hatte. Als Susanne auf sie zulief, knurrte sie eine leise Warnung: Komm meinen Kindern nicht zu nahe! Und dann begriff Susanne, was sie wollte: Den Gartenschlauch Daisy wollte ihren Kleinen zeigen, wie herrlich es sich mit dem Wasserstrahl spielen lässt! Bill mochte es nicht glauben, aber die drei kommen jetzt regelmäßig. „Daisys Leben gehört der Wildnis, sagt Bill zu Susanne, „aber ihre Liebe gehört für immer dir!

 Love stays for ever – Daisy and her best game

It was exactly one month ago that Susanne had married her big love Bill Fulham. And since only three weeks she was living with him in Africa, when Bill the ranger in the Krüger Nationalpark, brought home the orphaned lion baby closer to death than alive. ILll help her to recover, Susanne decided and was a little bit frightened about herself. Because she was just a greenhorn in Africa and didnLt know anything about wild animals. But Bill trusted her, and her inward voice told her, that her courage will be rewarded.

For three weeks she was fighting for Daisys life that was also the name of her beloved cat, which had to stay back in Germany c.and than she had achieved success: Daisy recovered perfectly and soon Susanna even could go out to the camp. Daisy was always with her. Susanna started to lay out a vegetable garden and when she was watering it Daisy was completelybe side herself with joy.

The water jet out of the pipe was the most funny and untiring playfellow in the whole camp! She snapped at it, chased it and only gave up when her body was completely wet. Bill started to become worried: Don’t let her get to much used to us humans he said. we want to give her back to nature! Susanne didnLt dare to think about that day. But it was coming one night Daisy was gone. She had heard the call of the wilderness.

It took one year before she showed up again. She came to the camp and with her were two youngsters. As if she proudly wanted to present what she did in the meantime. As Susanne wanted to approach her, a little growling was to be heard: don’t come too close to my children! And than Susanne understood what she wanted: The pipe Daisy wanted to show her kids how wonderful it is to play with the garden pipe! Bill didn’t want to believe, but the three are coming now regularly. Daisys life belongs to the wilderness Bill said to Susanne, but her love belongs to you for ever.
