Gegen halb Vier am Nachmittag badeten die Bäume im Fluss. Sie taten dies schon seit Tagen. Es war wieder so ein Winter, der mit ergiebigen Regenfällen dafür Sorge trug, dass es zum Fußbad für die Bäume kam. Es war kühl und eigentlich zu nass, aber trotzdem nahmen die Bäume mit, was sie nehmen konnten. Schließlich hatten sie alle die letzten Jahre erlebt, als es halbjährig und länger kaum nennenswerte Niederschläge gab. Es ist licht geworden, rund um das Flussufer. Einige Bäume kamen mit diesen neuen Trockenphasen nicht zurecht. Sie wurden gestutzt, gefällt, brachen einfach ab oder fielen bei einem kräftigeren Luftzug um. Und die, die jetzt noch standen, sie spürten, es würde nicht mehr besser werden. Sie nahmen ihr Fußbad und machten weiter. Irgendwie. Was sonst blieb ihnen übrig...

Around three thirty in the afternoon the trees were bathing in the river. They've been doing this for days. It was another winter that, with heavy rainfall, ensured that the trees were given a footbath. It was cool and actually too wet, but the trees still took what they could take. After all, they had all experienced the last few years, when there was hardly any rainfall worth mentioning for six months or longer. It has become light around the river bank. Some trees could not cope with these new droughts. They were clipped, felled, simply broke off or fell over when there was a strong draft. And those who were still standing, they felt it wasn't going to get any better. They took their footbath and went on. Somehow. What else should they do...
