    Colin Hann and Pedro Páramo are friends and partners in the LingoLibros adventure. LingoLibros is a young and developing company. Our aim is to produce quality bilingual books with an easy to follow parallel text, at an affordable price. We believe that they will be of particular benefit to parents with bilingual children who hope to develop their child's understanding of their native tongues. Our books are, so far, short stories with amusing illustrations suitable for reading aloud to young children in a single language or in a combination of two languages. Older children can enjoy reading these stories by themselves to learn and practice their second language. Students with a basic or intermediate knowledge of a foreign language will find these books very helpful in developing their vocabulary and understanding of the second language. We hope you benefit from and enjoy reading these bilingual tales.

      Introduction

      Can you imagine what it is like to live in a flowerpot and confuse one animal with another? Our chatty little plants Basil, Rosemary and the sisters think they know some stuff, but when it comes to animals they know nothing. One wild idea leads to another and gets them into big trouble. This story is for children and others wanting to read a dual language text in English and German with illustrations. Reading this fun bilingual story will help you learn German.

      Reading a bilingual book for just ten minutes each day is a very efficient use of your time for improving your language skills.

      This dual language book is for bilingual children and German language students with a basic - intermediate knowledge, who want to revise a dual language text in English and German. The book is in two sections. In the first part, for ease of understanding the two languages are displayed together mostly one or two sentences at a time. Showing the languages together helps compare words and common expressions easily. The second part, the German only version allows intermediate students to test their understanding. We hope you enjoy the stories.

      Life of Basil — Das Leben von Basilikum

      The first thing in his life that Basil remembered was cold air. A little girl put Basil's pot down on the front door step.

      Das Erste, woran sich Basilikum in seinem Leben erinnerte, war die kalte Luft. Ein kleines Mädchen stellte Basilikums Topf auf die Stufe vor der Haustür.

      Next to the front door he saw a big flowerpot. It was bright blue and on it was painted a picture of an orange cat.

      What a scary animal! thought Basil.

      Neben der Haustür sah er einen großen Blumentopf. Der Blumentopf war leuchtend blau und darauf war ein Bild von einer orangefarbenen Katze gemalt.

      „Was für ein unheimliches Tier!", dachte Basilikum.

      This is your new home little basil plant, said the girl.

      She gave Basil some water. Then she took a wooden lollypop stick out of her pocket and loosened the soil.

      „Das ist dein neues Zuhause, kleine Basilikumpflanze", sagte das Mädchen.

      Sie gab Basilikum etwas Wasser. Dann nahm sie einen hölzernen Lutscherstiel aus ihrer Tasche und lockerte die Erde.

      Help! thought Basil. What's happening?

      The soil below Basil was moving. Then something warm squashed his top leaves.

      „Hilfe!, dachte Basilikum. „Was passiert da?

      Die Erde unter Basilikum bewegte sich. Dann drückte etwas Warmes seine oberen Blätter zusammen.

      Help! Help! shouted Basil loudly.

      The little girl heard nothing. Suddenly Basil was lifted out of his pot and lowered, root first, into a new hole.

      „Hilfe! Hilfe!", schrie Basilikum laut.

      Das kleine Mädchen hörte nichts. Plötzlich wurde Basilikum aus dem Topf gehoben und mit seinen Wurzeln voran in ein neues Loch gesetzt.

      She pushed new soil round Basil's roots and gave him some more water. Then she went inside and closed the front door behind her.

      Sie schob neue Erde um Basilikums Wurzeln und gab ihm etwas mehr Wasser. Dann ging sie hinein und schloss die Haustür hinter sich.

      Basil was cold. He bent over feeling scared and alone.

      Hey! Seedling! shouted two voices. What's your name?

      Basil looked up and saw two plants with bright blue and yellow flowers.

      Basilikum fror. Er krümmte sich und fühlte sich ängstlich und einsam.

      „Hey! Setzling!, riefen zwei Stimmen. „Wie heißt du?

      Basilikum schaute hoch und sah zwei Pflanzen mit strahlend blauen und gelben Blüten.

      Who are you? asked Basil shyly.

      We're the Pansy Sisters, said the Pansy Sisters
