Hey, that’s really cool! What a beautiful, giant boat!” Ilvie cries enthusiastically. “And that was your great-grandmother’s ­little boat?”

Leonie meets her two new friends by the swing right after lunch and leads them to the old boathouse.

“Yes, the Anastasia truly is a very beautiful boat. It’s too bad that she’s been out of the water for so long,” replies Leonie.

“Imagine how fantastic it would be to go to sea on her and find the ­treasure!” says Ilvie, already imagining the adventure. “We would sail across the sea for days and days, sail around wonderful islands, get to know all kinds of ­people, and fulfill your great-grandmother’s mission which she couldn’t fulfill herself. Imagine if we could find the treasure, Leonie!”

Ilvie is very excited.

Theo quickly hides behind a box that is lying around next to the old boat. He can’t believe it—that is typical Ilvie. If it were up to her, all three of them would already be sitting on that dumb boat and sailing through the history of the world. How much work all of this is! Adventures! Pooh! Why couldn’t they just lie around in the meadow with the sun shining on their bellies as they ate a few cupcakes? Why did Ilvie always have to have adventures?
