The woodland orchestra is going to Germany to give a jolly concert there. The cases are loaded and the train is ready to leave.
Hurry up Billy or you will be left behind
I‘m coming!
Send me a post card!
The long journey

It‘s nice to travel to get to see places you‘ve never seen before and to make new friends.
I can hardly wait to arrive in
Germany!
Yippee, we‘re off!
Our concert will be
magnificent!
The long journey

Have a crisp roll!
It‘s time for a snack. Shall we have something
to eat ?
Good idea!
Thanks, it looks delicious
The journey takes a long time, and after a short time Milly and Billy start to get hungry.
The long journey

Fine … everything‘s fine!
How beautiful! Look ...
Yes, the Indians … the cowboys …
They are really great!
During the journey Billy falls asleep and dreams about America.
The long journey
![Page 6: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hey look, we‘ve arrived in America!
Er no …, we are in Germany!
There‘s a cowboy … and the other one is
an Indian!
What are you talking about …? Can‘t you see?
They are two circus artists?
The train has reached its destination and it‘s time to get out.
The long journey
![Page 7: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Welcome! This evening we are having a big party in honour of our friends from
the American circus, who are going back to America.
Then we can play for them.
Even the city‘s mayor has come to welcome the woodland orchestra.
The long journey
![Page 8: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
That‘s great! The circus brings thousands of surprises.
Look, down there, that must be Polly, the little acrobat!
Well done!
The long journey

Milly‘s dance, dance tra-la-la stand on one foot
and turn around.
Pim pim pum, piri piri pum!Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!
The long journey
![Page 10: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The party is over and after a beautiful night, the circus returns to America. Everyone has gone, only Ezekiel is still there.
Do you know where my Polly is? I cannot leave without her!
Last night I saw her with a dog.
Shall we go and look
for her!
The long journey
![Page 11: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There‘s Fido!
Hello, have you seen Polly? Her grand-dad
is looking for her
I have just taken her to the
flea market.
Shall we go there!
The long journey
![Page 12: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But these hats are so nice!
I would like to have one of them!
It is so beautiful! But come now, your grand-dad
is waiting for you to take you home.
Do you like my new dress?
Milly finds Polly at the flea market.
The long journey
![Page 13: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Wait a minute, I want a pretzel.
Me too! Mmmmh, these pretzels
taste good!
Let me taste one too?
Of course, take one …
Shall we go now!
The long journey
![Page 14: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Quick, quick, let‘s go … Grand-dad,
wait for me!
You‘re here at last! Jump in, the others have already gone.
Us?
Are you coming along too?
The long journey
![Page 15: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Come on Milly, let‘s go with them …
Yes, come with us .., I need help with the
hot-air balloon. But it is a very long journey…
You‘ll see, we‘ll love it! I live in a beautiful park,
full of streams, ponds and waterfalls.
Agreed. Let‘s go.
America, wait for me! I‘m coming!
The long journey
![Page 16: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Good-bye!We‘ll wait for you at home!
Have a good journey!
Bye bye!
The friends from the orchestra would also like to go to America, but there‘s no room left in the hot-air balloon.
The long journey
![Page 17: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Land in sight! Wake up, friends… look, Ezekiel!
The long journey
![Page 18: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What bad luck! We‘ve arrived in New York and the hot-air balloon has got caught up in the Statue of Liberty.
Now you must pull hard!
Don‘t let go, Billy!
The long journey
![Page 19: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Thank you, dear friend, thank you,
what‘s your name? I am Loris, the condor. Hold on tight, I‘ll take you
to a nice spot!
Yes, can you pull us down from here?
Do you need help?
The long journey
![Page 20: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Into a nest, which I built in the top of a tree that got hit
by lightning.
Then come with us…zzz, we‘re going…zzz…to the
Yellowstone National Park… zzz
I would love to live in the mountains,
but there aren‘t any here…
They land in Central Park, the park in the centre of New York.
Awayyyy!
You have a nice house here in
the park!
Where shall we go now, Loris?
The long journey
![Page 21: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hello!
Wait for us, we‘re coming!
… and I would rather eat what I brought on the journey, perhaps
a Meranetto!
It is so beautiful to open my eyes and be among friends. But let‘s go and explore Central Park now.
We‘ve brought you something sweet
for breakfast…
Thanks, but Milly suffers
from coeliac disease and…
Look Loris, he‘s down there!
The long journey
![Page 22: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Thank you for everything, but we
have to go now.
Yes, perhaps I will find the mountain of my
dreams in the park …
And you Loris, what are you doing?
Are you coming with us?
This ring cake is for you, Milly…
Thank you, we‘ll eat it together.
The days have passed and the moment has come to begin the return journey. The circus friends are waiting for Polly and Ezekiel in Yellowstone Park.
It‘s gluten-free!
The long journey
![Page 23: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
America is a big country and it takes a long time to cross it. Luckily, our friends are in good company and won‘t get bored.
Look, this forest, it‘s huge!
Down there is a waterfall!
Look, the Grand Canyon …, down there between the rocks
lives a friend I‘ve not seen for a long time.
The long journey
![Page 24: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Many animals live in the Grand Canyon. Condy is an old vulture, which has lost most of its feathers.
How beautiful!
Those are all my…, I will gradually lose them all,
but I‘m putting them on my head!
The long journey
![Page 25: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And back on the journey. Polly and Ezekiel are waiting eagerly to embrace their circus friends, who live on the banks of Yellowstone Lake.
The long journey
![Page 26: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Here is Yellowstone National Park!
The mountains!
Not quite, but they are similar!
Look down there!
Are they what you have been
dreaming about?
The long journey
![Page 27: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Yellowstone is a large national park with many watercourses, which form small lakes and waterfalls.
The long journey
![Page 28: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Well… and how were your
mountains?
…but they are not the ones you were looking for!
No, that‘s only warm steam!
Careful Billy, that‘s dangerous!
But other geysers send up
boiling water.
Beautiful, but…
There are mountains and valleys, which are covered by forests and meadows, and you keep coming across geysers, which spout hot water.
The long journey
![Page 29: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Our mountains are wonderful…
That is right, but I dream about living on a
rocky, very high summit…
You can find one like that in Europe,
in the Alps… That‘s right, in the Dolomites!
The long journey
![Page 30: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We‘ve prepared gluten-free food
for everyone.
Yippee!
The journey will take a long time. First we will cross America by train, then
the ocean by boat. Once we‘ve arrived in Spain, we will take
the train again …
For Billy and Milly, it‘s time to go home.
If you explain the route to the Dolomites,
I will take you there!
But they are long way away…
Ready for the off!
The long journey
![Page 31: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The return journey has just begun. It will certainly take a long time and be full of adventures – just like the journey here.
Clap your hands and run down there,
fly around among the flowers and ...
Pim pim pum, piri piri pum!Pim pim pum, piri piri pa!
Milly‘s dance, dance tra-la-la stand on one foot
and turn around.
The long journey
![Page 32: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Oh…, look at those caterpillars!
After leaving the American coast, we‘ve finally made it to the ocean. But what‘s happened over there? Two castaways!
Throw them the rope, Billy!
Careful,take it!
The long journey
![Page 33: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Poor caterpillars…, boat is now lying at the bottom of the sea.
What do you think, Loris, shall we go over thereand have a rest?
Poor things..., were there lots
of them?Look…,
can you see it?
Yes, the others managed to escape
onto a big ship…
A fire broke outon their boat and
it sank very quickly.
The long journey
![Page 34: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We‘ll be comfortable
there!
A cruise liner can be enormous, almost like a little city sailing across the ocean.
There‘s a nice corner to rest in on deck!
The long journey
![Page 35: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Just a minute,I‘m coming…
What a fright!Where‘s Billy?
Whaaaa!
Billy…,where are you?The ship‘s horn wakes our friends up.
The long journey
![Page 36: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Milly and Billy go looking for the machine room, where the big engines are that make the boat sail across the sea.
The long journey
![Page 37: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The store room is a very important place. Everything that‘s needed for the journey gets stowed here, and food too.
Billy… come here!We needyour help!
Huh…Look out!
The long journey
![Page 38: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
People work better together.
I‘ll havesome rice…
Mmmm…that‘s nice!
Thanks, we‘ve nearly finished!
I don‘t eat wheat, but the rice and the
corn are great!… and I‘ll have some corn!
The long journey
![Page 39: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The ship is big and there are still a lot of places to discover.
Of course, starters,main meals, desserts…,
they‘re all niceand tasty!
Look,the kitchen!
Do you cook gluten-freefood too?
Mmmm…that‘s nice!
The long journey
![Page 40: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Now it‘s dinner time and all the tables in the dining room are full. A woman is dancing the flamenco to the tune of a little Spanish orchestra.
Bravo!
Bravo!
The long journey
![Page 41: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Look at all thosenice things…,
It‘s a shame Lorisisn‘t here. I‘ll go and
get him!
Here we are!
Trythis!
Mmmm…,that‘s nice!
The long journey
![Page 42: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
I‘d love to, Carmen!
I‘m going home by train,… are you coming with me?
Yes, it‘s my country, Spain!
Maybe it‘s themainland…
Look over there,what‘s thatdark stripe?
The long journey
![Page 43: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The ship has come to a stop and is moored in the harbour. Our friends have already disembarked, but their journey isn‘t over yet: now they need to travel across Spain.
Heave ho!
Come on…,run!
Hurry up, the train won‘t wait for us!
The long journey
![Page 44: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
There‘s a festival in the town, how wonderful!Spain is a big country,and Milly would love to see all of it.
Here we are!
Thanks,but I‘ve got my
Cerealito!
Would you like a piece of
potato tortilla?It‘s gluten-free…
They‘re dancing…,wow!
The long journey
![Page 45: The long journey](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042609/568c38a61a28ab02359fa0a0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

The time has come to leave Spain and return home.
Bye guys!
Good-byeCarmen!
Yes, of course,there are all
the mountains you could ever want!And are there
the mountains I‘ve been dreaming
about?
