Das war der Hirbel

Hirbel is different from others, because something was done wrong at his birth. He is sick, often has headaches and also stomach ache from the pills he has to take all the time. Sometimes he screams and does things that make others laugh. Hirbel's mother gave him away, and since then he has wandered back and forth between foster parents and homes. Still, Hirbel is not a sad child. With the psychologists he plays their games, the tests he already knows. He has a wonderful singing voice, and singing gives him pleasure as long as he is allowed to follow his own rules. And Hirbel can hit hooks like a rabbit if you want to catch him. Once he runs away from the shelter, he sleeps among the sheep, but he thinks it is only lions that keep him warm at night. Again and again Hirbel runs away because nobody really understands him and because he is in a hurry.
