Hello friends of the History of the Germans. I am afraid there will not be an episode this week. I would have preferred to say that I have caught a bug or something, but the truth is, I just could not put something together that lives up to your and my standards. Sorry, this does not happen very often, but it does. The muse was busy somewhere else or missed the entry point for my humble attic. So, rather than wasting your time with something sub-par, I decided to call it off for this week. I will go back to the drawing board and make sure something sensible shows up in your feed next week.If however you need your weekly fix of German history content, you can go to the History Rage Podcast where Paul Bavil allowed me to go on for far too long about my pet hate, which is people endlessly repeating Voltaire's quip that the Holy Roman empire was neither Holy, nor Roman nor an empire. Not only is that joke 200 years old, it isn't even accurate. https://pod.fo/e/3330ceAnd if you are of a gentler disposition and cannot bear me losing my rag, you can always prepare yourself for next week's episode by listening back to some older episodes where we have discussed the mid-15th century in the Hanseatic League, Prussia, Bohemia and Germany. For instance episode 122, where we heard how right around this time the Hanseatic League's stranglehold over the Baltic led to a collapse of the once sprawling herring fair in Scania and the rise of the Dutch herring industry based in Amsterdam. In episode 136 we covered the 13-year long war between the Teutonic Knights and the cities and major aristocrats of Prussia, that started in 1454 and ended up with the loss of Gdansk and Western Prussia. The Mainzer Stiftsfehde and the Furstenkrieg that also fall into this period is so complex, we had to break it down into multiple podcasts. Episode 186 about Mainz and Hessen, 189 about the Count Palatine on the Rhine and his conflict with Friedrich III, 191/192 where we look at the involvement of Baden and Wurttemberg, and 196 and 197 about the internecine warfare in Bavaria that linked into it. Or just think of a number, any number between zero and 209, and listen to that episode. Either that or listen to any of the thousands ad thousands of other great episodes talented podcasters put out every week.See you next week.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you...

On 10 October 1961, a volcanic eruption threatened the population of Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, and all 264 islanders were evacuated to the UK. Two years later, the majority voted to return. In an interview she gave to the BBC in 1961, Mary Swain describes what it was like to survive the preceding earthquake and landside and be relocated to the other side of the world.This programme was produced and presented by Rachel Naylor, in collaboration with BBC Archives. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GAZA PLAN.. 1950 RAMALLAH 10-6-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas. Hamas disarmament is a crucial Israeli war aim. The central challenge is the future role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Berkowitz argues is corrupt, incompetent, weak, and lacks democratic legitimacy, having not held elections since 2005. International recognition of a Palestinian state is viewed as counterproductive, as it rewards proponents of armed struggle. The plan anticipates a pathway toward a Palestinian state only after substantial and comprehensive PA reform, including ceasing terror incitement and abandoning the goal of Israel's destruction. Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future. 915-930 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas.

Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future. 930-945 Houthi Attacks, Sanctions, and the Implications of a Gaza Ceasefire Guest: Bridget Toumey Bridget Toumey reports that the Houthis, who are well-organized and disciplined, attacked a Dutch ship in the Gulf of Aden and continued launching at least one missile and one drone at Israel, a slower pace than the nearly daily attacks seen in September. The Houthis also sanctioned 13 US oil and energy companies and their CEOs, citing the war in Gaza and US support for Israel. This announcement mirrored US sanctions and may be a precursor to resuming attacks against US-connected vessels. Israel's counter-Houthi air strikes have hit targets but have failed to deter the group, which also exploits connections with other terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). If the Gaza conflict ends, the Houthis might need a new casus belli to justify attacks, but they are willing to invent excuses if Iran wishes to continue stirring chaos. 945-1000 Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah. Iran consistently seeks to arm its proxies, but Hezbollah is currently on its back foot, having lost leadership, money, and the Syria corridor due to Israeli attacks and the new regime in Syria. A peace deal in Gaza would significantly weaken Iran, as stability does not favor the Islamic Republic, which thrives by exploiting regional instability. The morale of the Islamic Republic has crumbled due to external defeats and internal incompetence (failing infrastructure, high inflation). Furthermore, Iran relies heavily on China to purchase oil, utilizing a money-laundering network to evade US sanctions, securing an economic lifeline for the regime in return for natural resources and infrastructure projects. 1015-1030 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah.

Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners. 1045-1100 Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Europe Responds to Russian Harassment Without US Lead Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel analyzes the European emergency summit in Copenhagen, convened due to alarming mysterious drone activity over European airports, likely instigated by Russia. This harassment, which includes potential risks like hitting a passenger jet, aims to create confusion and test the resolve of the continent. The outcome, focusing on a "drone wall," suggests that the EU is starting to take more responsibility for its own defense, a long-term goal of US presidents. Kissel notes that the US absence from the prominent conversation does not signal the end of NATO. She also highlights that politicians like Starmer and Meloni are moving toward stronger defense measures, realizing that their voting bases are unhappy with current economic and security outcomes 1115-1130 Syria's Search for Stability: Security Deals, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Impact Guests: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Syrian President al-Sharaa's focus on stability and his pursuit of a security agreement with Israel. Negotiating away the Golan Heights is considered a non-starter for al-Sharaa's survival, as his father, Hafez Assad, is often seen as the man who lost the territory, and al-Sharaa would be domestically labeled a traitor by all segments of the Syrian population, including hardliners. A full peace agreement is out of the question, but a limited security agreement might be possible, allowing Israel to maintain its presence in the Golan Heights while potentially withdrawing from areas entered after the fall of the Assad regime. The end of the war in Gaza is expected to expedite negotiations between Syria and Israel toward a security deal, as it affects the optics of al-Sharaa making such a move in the Arab world. Al-Sharaa's main priority is removing Israeli presence and stopping Israeli air strikes inside southern Syria 1130-1145 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio John Hardie discusses Russia's expanding conflict, which includes drones over European airports like Munich and Berlin, viewed by Denmark as Russian "gray zone" activity aimed at testing Western response. NATO has been slow to adopt cost-effective counter-drone measures, unlike Ukraine's use of mobile fire groups. Russia is also engaging in anti-satellite activity, with Russian satellites reportedly stalking UK military satellites in low Earth orbit. Russia continues to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure with massive barrages as winter approaches. The US is reportedly considering supplying longer-range Tomahawk missiles to allies for transfer to Ukraine. These missiles could strike deep into Russian military-industrial sites, which, coupled with economic pressure, might convince Putin to pause the war. 1145-1200 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio J FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman Joe Truzman details the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which center on the release of the remaining 48 hostages (living and deceased) within 72 hours, potentially in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. The central obstacle to peace is Hamas's refusal to disarm, viewing it as tantamount to surrendering their identity. Fighting has lessened, with Israel toning down air strikes, possibly to show goodwill to President Trump. Truzman emphasizes that if Hamas retains its arms, another conflict is inevitable. He also notes the rise in reported Hamas plots in Europe, something uncommon historically, indicating the organization may be branching out its operations and feeling emboldened, as seen in the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 1215-1230 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman . 1230-1245 Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Piña Esclusá reports that Nicolás Maduro's chief negotiator, Jorge Rodríguez, falsely claimed a third party plans to assault the US embassy in Caracas, but Esclusá warns that Maduro himself ordered the operation. The regime is allegedly interested in the embassy because they believe opposition leader María Corina Machado is hidden there. The regime, which stole the election, is now persecuting and imprisoning more opposition members than ever to infuse terror into the population. Ernesto Araújo views an attack on the embassy—an action against the "only thing that's sacred in international relations"—as very serious, suggesting Maduro is desperate for a bargaining chip with the US. Brazil's Lula da Silva is reportedly worried about the seriousness of the US attitude toward Maduro and may be softening his stance with Trump, fearing what information might emerge regarding the Foro de São Paulo organization if the Maduro regime falls. 1245-100AM Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo

Houthi Attacks, Sanctions, and the Implications of a Gaza Ceasefire Guest: Bridget Toumey Bridget Toumey reports that the Houthis, who are well-organized and disciplined, attacked a Dutch ship in the Gulf of Aden and continued launching at least one missile and one drone at Israel, a slower pace than the nearly daily attacks seen in September.

It's easy to be inspired by success, but the real lessons often lie in what it took to get there. After all, true strength isn't just physical; it's found in how we face change, challenge and the unknown. In this episode of my Feel Better, Live More podcast, I sit down with one of the most extraordinary athletes of our time, Sifan Hassan. Sifan is a Dutch middle- and long-distance runner, celebrated for her versatility and achievements in athletics. Born in Ethiopia and raised in the Netherlands as a refugee, she is known for competing at the highest level in a wide range of distances, including the 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, and the marathon. She is a two-time World Champion, an Olympic medallist, and holds multiple European Championship titles. Her journey from refugee to Olympic and World Champion has captivated the world, not just for what she's achieved, but for how she approaches life. Sifan's story is one of courage, faith, and relentless curiosity. In this wonderful conversation, we explore: How growing up in Ethiopia and later seeking asylum in the Netherlands shaped Sifan's inner strength, perspective and deep appreciation for opportunity The role running played in navigating life in a new country, and how it offered focus, purpose and belonging Why failure, fear and self-doubt have been central to her journey, and how she's learned to embrace them as essential parts of growth and performance How Sifan continues to find joy in running, despite the pressures of elite sport, and why staying curious matters more to her than winning What her training now looks like behind the scenes - including the shifts she's made to prioritise recovery, longevity and mental balance Why she sees rest, sleep and routine as forms of discipline, and how simplicity keeps her grounded What she's come to understand about identity, letting go of perfection, and finding peace with who she is, beyond the medals You don't need to be an athlete to connect with Sifan's story; it speaks to something deeply human in all of us. In a world that often celebrates outcomes, this conversation invites us to embrace the process of becoming, adapting, and learning. Sifan's perspective is a beautiful example of what it means to stay rooted in who we are, even when life takes us far from where we began. I hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/422Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Diamond dust, tapioca snow, and sugar icebergs -- a 1955 glossary of arctic and subarctic terms describes the environment in ways that sound poetic.

What if you were doing everything right? Tracking your macros, lifting weights, eating clean and your body still felt inflamed, puffy, and broken?  That was Annie Kundis's reality. A former bodybuilder and competitive powerlifter turned mom and influencer, Annie spent over a decade following every fitness rule in the book only to watch her energy crash, her digestion spiral, and her confidence disappear. In this episode, Annie shares how DUTCH and GI-MAP testing completely changed her life after years of feeling dismissed by traditional doctors who told her to “just eat less and exercise more.” For the first time, real data revealed what was actually happening: low hormones, flipped cortisol, gut infections, and nutrient malabsorption. With that clarity, Annie finally had a roadmap for healing, not more restriction. She opens up about pressing pause on hard training, cutting caffeine, and learning to rest without guilt, plus the simple protocols that led to her first regular digestion in over a decade. We also dive into the emotional side: body dysmorphia, burnout, and rebuilding self-trust after years of fighting her body. Annie's story is raw, hopeful, and deeply relatable, showing that healing isn't about perfection, it's about understanding your body and giving it what it truly needs. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or unseen by the medical system, this episode will hit home. Tune in to hear how Annie went from survival mode to thriving and why she says today, “I don't feel sick anymore. I finally feel free.” Time Stamps: (3:22) Annie's Health Journey Before Vital Spark(9:37) Navigating Depression(12:52) GI Map and DUTCH Test Results(16:22) Learning To Slow Down(21:12) Trusting The Process(32:59) Where To Find Annie---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Thank Goodness! A leak has sprung at Bridgerton House and we couldn't be happier. To celebrate the unmasking of the Season 4 release dates, we'll be tipping our gloves to the Dutch, hiking with the ducks and grabbing our baskets for a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt.* After drinking that brown liquor with a Bridgerton father figure, we'll also be stopping by Romney Hall to scatter a few seeds with the Collector and search for a Lady in Silver standing amongst the roses. And if we happen to have a little Spare time on our hands? Well, perhaps we'll borrow a Baronet's tools to do a spot of raking around. With 7 reasons to love Benedict Bridgerton and only 116 days until we love Sophie Baek, the gloves are off and the countdown is on. Unmask true love? Don't mind if we do.

glimlachte, deels uit liefde voor haar vriend, deels omdat ze wist dat dit weer zo'n dag zou worden.En: Lotte smiled, partly out of love for her friend, and partly because she knew it was going to be one of those days again.Nl: Ze liepen over de kronkelige paden tussen de bloembedden.En: They walked along the winding paths between the flower beds.Nl: De frisse lucht rook naar vochtige aarde en afgevallen bladeren.En: The fresh air smelled of damp earth and fallen leaves.Nl: Maarten hield zijn verouderde kaart stevig vast terwijl hij de route volgde die hij eerder zorgvuldig had uitgezocht.En: Maarten held his aged map firmly as he followed the route he had carefully planned earlier.Nl: "We hadden beter om hulp kunnen vragen, Maarten.En: "We should have asked for help,

replied cheerfully.Nl: De tuin leek eindeloos en elk hoekje bood een nieuw, prachtig spektakel aan bloemen.En: The garden seemed endless, and each corner offered a new, stunning spectacle of flowers.Nl: Toch wilde Maarten niets liever dan die ene tulp vinden.En: Still, Maarten wanted nothing more than to find that one tulip.Nl: De lucht werd grijs en donkere wolken begonnen zich samen te pakken boven hun hoofd.En: The sky turned gray, and dark clouds started gathering above their heads.Nl: "Maarten, het gaat regenen, misschien kunnen we beter naar het café gaan," stelde Lotte voor.En: "Maarten, it's going to rain, maybe we should head to the café," Lotte suggested.Nl: Maar Maarten, vastberaden als altijd, schudde zijn hoofd.En: But Maarten, determined as always, shook his head.Nl: "Nog even zoeken, Lotte, we zijn vast dichtbij.En: "Just a little more searching, Lotte, we must be close."Nl: "Plots zagen ze tussen de oranje en gele kleuren van de herfst een glimp van iets bijzonders.En: Suddenly, amidst the orange and yellow colors of autumn, they caught a glimpse of something special.Nl: Daar stond de legendarische tulp, stralend en alleen, omringd door een klein hek.En: There stood the legendary tulip, shining and alone, surrounded by a small fence.Nl: Net op dat moment begon de regen te vallen, harder dan ze hadden verwacht.En: Just then, the rain began to fall, harder than they had expected.Nl: Lotte probeerde snel een foto te maken en haastte zich overmodig naar het bloembed.En: Lotte quickly tried to take a picture and hurriedly approached the flower bed.Nl: Ze gleed uit op de modder en viel tegen het hek aan.En: She slipped on the mud and fell against the fence.Nl: Het hek stortte in en leek de tulp bijna te verpletteren.En: The fence collapsed

harder werd.En: They quickly took a picture as the rain grew heavier.Nl: Nat en koud renden ze naar het café.En: Wet and cold, they ran to the café.Nl: Binnen was het warm en de geur van verse koffie

hot tea and hot chocolate.Nl: "Maarten, je had gelijk.En: "Maarten, you were right.Nl: Het was een avontuur," gaf Lotte toe.En: It was an adventure," Lotte admitted.Nl: "Ik moet zeggen, het zoeken is net zo leuk als het vinden," zo bekende Maarten met een knipoog.En: "I have to say, searching is just as fun as finding," Maarten confessed with a wink.Nl: Ze keken uit het raam, waar de regen zachtjes op het glas tikte.En: They looked out the window, where the rain gently tapped against the glass.Nl: Ondanks de regen had hun zoektocht hen iets bijzonders gebracht.En: Despite the rain, their quest had brought them something special.Nl: Het was niet alleen een foto van een zeldzame tulp, maar ook een gedeelde herinnering aan een dag vol avontuur en plezier in de schoonheid van de herfsttuin.En: It was not just a photo of a rare tulip, but also a shared memory of a day full of adventure and fun in the beauty of the autumn garden.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: The Secret of the Attic: Unveiling Amsterdam's Hidden Tales Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-10-02-22-34-02-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Het was een koude herfstmiddag in Amsterdam.En: It was a cold autumn afternoon in Amsterdam.Nl: Het oude weeshuis, een gebouw dat eeuwen geleden was gebouwd, was omgeven door een tuin vol gouden en rode bladeren.En: The old orphanage, a building built centuries ago, was surrounded by a garden full of golden and red leaves.Nl: Lars stond aan een groot raam en keek naar de andere kinderen die zich verzamelden voor een excursie.En: Lars stood at a large window, watching the other children gather for an excursion.Nl: Lars was echter niet geïnteresseerd in de wandeling door de stad.En: However, Lars was not interested in the walk through the city.Nl: Zijn nieuwsgierigheid lag elders, daarboven in de verboden zolder van het weeshuis.En: His curiosity lay elsewhere, up there in the forbidden attic of the orphanage.Nl: De verhalen die Lars had gehoord over de geschiedenis van het weeshuis prikkelden zijn gedachten.En: The stories that Lars had heard about the history of the orphanage stimulated his thoughts.Nl: Hij had gehoord van een verborgen stuk geschiedenis, misschien zelfs een uitzonderlijke schat, die wachtte om ontdekt te worden.En: He had heard of a hidden piece of history, possibly even an extraordinary treasure, waiting to be discovered.Nl: Zijn ogen glinsterden van spanning.En: His eyes sparkled with excitement.Nl: Elsa en Pim, zijn vrienden, riepen hem van beneden.En: Elsa and Pim, his friends, called to him from below.Nl: "Lars, kom mee!En: "Lars, come with us!Nl: Ze gaan zo vertrekken!"En: They're leaving soon!"Nl: Maar Lars had iets anders in gedachten.En: But Lars had something else in mind.Nl: Hij moest zijn nieuwsgierigheid stillen.En: He had to satisfy his curiosity.Nl: Als hij erin zou slagen om de zolder te bereiken, wellicht zou hij vinden waarnaar hij zocht.En: If he managed to reach the attic, perhaps he would find what he was looking for.Nl: De verzorger, een strenge man, hield de sleutels goed in de gaten.En: The caretaker, a strict man, kept a close eye on the keys.Nl: Maar Lars, verstandiger dan je zou denken voor zijn leeftijd, had opgemerkt dat de verzorger altijd een korte pauze nam na de lunch.En: But Lars, wiser than you might think for his age, had noticed that the caretaker always took a short break after lunch.Nl: Dit was zijn kans.En: This was his chance.Nl: Stilletjes sloop Lars naar het kantoor van de verzorger.En: Quietly, Lars sneaked to the caretaker's office.Nl: Daar hing de sleutelbos aan een haak.En: There hung the keyring on a hook.Nl: Met een snelle, maar rustige
