There are many different people with different passions. The one collects clocks, the other porcelain piglets and one of others in turn books. Seldom enough gives people to collecting and cultivating bonsai trees who indulge in a special passion.
So also Pierre Malue. He had as every different one begun with a tree. He had found the joy and also the love for these trees through this and he cultivated them from there. New to him and also special trees turned out well again and again. One of his friends suggested one day, though, to set up a shop in which one would extol his trees. He would earn a lot of money certainly anyway.
Said and worked. His shop boomed. It would never have so much money with one always thought like it been able to to dream - - so simple to earn thing. Its breedings exceeded any taste in many a regard. But it did not care. But it did not care.
He recorded a special success one day. The trees which he cultivated were easy-care of a singular beauty and special. No Was necessary pour orspray no daily. Simply putting down and
becoming conscious of this beauty. It was trees which did not meet every taste, though. Well but this one of a special group of people. People who did not seek the general beauty but the unusual one. And for these people it had created these trees.
Pierre Malue had been able to create only seven of these trees, though. Every further test failed. It often tried it, too, an eighth tree could not be created so. Always if it thought it had made it, the tree withered now. Its despair increased with the failures. It obeyed its destiny more but to be not able to create these seven trees.
Pierre Malue put these seven trees quite in front into the shopwindow to get rid as fast as possible of them. You showed his limits and he could not accept this.
He adjusted the prices for these seven trees to the other prices. But through this they were not interesting for the buyers. The singular beauty does not justify the price, so the customers. Through this Pierre was forced to reduce the prices for these trees. And buyers were found now.
Otherwise for it means bought trees at it, that is people with the necessary small change but people who otherwise could never afford such a tree, because they on the one hand do not force these, these not the spending group had, and on the other hand because they were not expert at the care of the trees. But the signpost changed their mind in the shopwindow which pointed out how easy-care these trees were.
But these buyers were something else than the common people again somehow in a certain way, too. Pierre did not know what was so different at them. Was it the type as they looked or as they spoke? He knew only one exactly, they were different. But he was glad to get rid of these trees in a fast way.
This one was interested in these trees and one also bought, was an older professor retired the first. His name, Pierre always made a note of the names and the necessary data of the buyers, Robert Bleideppel, for Pierre was more than unusual. He had never heard such a strange name. It shall, he imagined and made a note of the name and the data but what.
A teacher, Gabriele Maurer, was this one the next buyer, judges, century was from the eighteenth one from the appearance. Furthermore he sold the remaining trees: Peter Siegler, a master builder, Jutta Pfister, prospective lawyer and Sabine Schuster, factory worker.
For the time being, two of the trees still stopped. But they were not in the shopwindow for a long time either. He sold them at Rudi Kellner, an unemployed electrician and at Vera Kastner, four days later which eked out their existence as a housewife. He removed the note signposts from the shopwindow and cultivated new trees again all trees to be overjoyedly loose finally.
For Pierre was the thing settles with that, meant at least he that way. But he should be mistaken. One can have trees which one has sold returned very fast again.
The people who had this tree enjoyed it greatly. The trees grew and thrived, it was a pleasure of watching their activities in it. You were poured, cut, cherished and cared. Every owner enjoyed it, such a valuable tree be own to call.
Coming in but it seemed such a valuable tree be own to call. No-one could explain himself why it did not grow any more but threw off all leaves and let hang the branches sadly. But everybody held on to the instructions which one found in the appropriate literature on the care of such trees.
No-one knew a piece of advice and therefore all of them the row marched after to seek a piece of advice to Pierre around himself.
Rudi Kellner who was still unemployed reached Pierre Malue in the morning and asked for a note. Pierre had a look at the tree exactly and twitched helplessly with the shoulders. He did not have any explanation for it either.
Mrs Kastner who also had problems with her tree was entering the shop at this moment. She put it next to that one of Mr Kellner. Both looked at themselves and shook the head unsuspectingly.
„There really must be a possibility of feeding these trees up again. They really do not know any advice Mrs Kastner was nearly close to the tears?“. The dying of the little Baum to the kidneys went you.
„I can, only the special fertilizer I have which used at the trees give them. I only have a small rest, though. You can try it, whether they have success with that.“
Pierre left the shop with that, hurried to his store and, at once, came back to it with a little bottle which looked as if brownish water has been filled into this bottle.
Mrs Kastner could not keep back the remark: „How red wall paint, only not so viscous.“
Mrs Kastner and Mr Kellner left, common the shop.
You still „want“ to drink a cup of coffee in the café with me opposite? Mrs Kastner did not want to be alone just again now. She had to provide a household but she wanted to take her time now nevertheless to slurp a cup of coffee with the kind electrician and to talk shop over this little Baum perhaps a little.
Mr Kellner gratefully consented. He otherwise would have gone home again, would have put himself in his empty flat in front of the television
set and looked into the tube silly. Therefore it was better anyway to drink a cup of coffee with the attractive woman. Mrs Kastner was a beauty in its eyes. A beauty which was neglected and did even not notice it of her husband like a wallflower in the four of its own walls.
Both entered the café, equated themselves to the table at the entrance and ordered themselves the so much longed-for coffee when an older man joined them.
„May I talk with you briefly?“ He spoke in a quiet, neat voice so that they could not differently but to nod. Yes, why should not they talk with this gentleman? Without hesitating for a long time he came his to the central point crux wanted conversation at once. „I also have such a little Baum as they have it here. But unfortunately I have the same problem with that. He gives the impression as if he wanted to come in.“
They „have“ bought it also with the dealer on the other side of the street? Rudi Kellner got poorly soundproofed.
„Yes. He gave it to me particularly favourably because he wanted it to get loose absolutely to be able to buy new goods. And the tree takes a seat there which it could use urgently. And it seems now to die. I do not want it actually, it is the ornament of my little flat because give up. And neighbour, an a little odd teacher, thinks the same problem has, she also has bought such a tree at it.“
„We were, „so Mrs Kastner,“ just with this seller. He did not know any advice and has entrusted a fertilizer to us as the only help which perhaps could help us either. He did not have much of this any more, though. But we would be happy if we could help them with a couple of drops.“
The professor sat down at the table definitely, the operation asked to bring his things of the other table and talked lively with the two. All three got on off-hand with each other. Everybody cherished a certain liking for the other one and therefore they harmonized with each other.
So they sat together for several hours and talked shop about that one and this. The three arranged
to come in the following evening, themselves at the professor again, so that he could check the substance of the fertilizer to perhaps still produce more of this.
Chance showed in the meantime that Mrs Maurer had a problem with a garage. It therefore addressed its lawyer. The office of the lawyer was pure and not shown off as in the case of many lawyers. A simple chest of drawers stood on one side of the room on whose middle a small bonsai tree stood. „I have exactly the same at home. But I see, they also have problems with him. He does not want to prosper also correctly at them.“
And before one was mistaken, the two talked shop more about bonsai trees than around the real problem of Mrs Maurer, she had this one come actually. It was discussed back and forth, they what one could well make wrong at these trees that hers stopped growth. But both did not come to a solution. When Mrs Maurer came home, she met in the corridor the professor who immediately told her about the meeting in the café and of the possible help which they could get. He informed it about the meeting at once, too, to tell about the
lawyer what it with enthusiasm took and but could not do at it on the following day.
"They load these also for tomorrow evening anyway. Perhaps we also can help it." With these words the professor said goodbye Meanwhile, Maurer could not differently when all the same to speak on the phone to the lawyer to transmit the glad message to her woman.
As chance wanted it, the lawyer still knew another two people who had such a little Baum.
So resulted it that seven persons came at the professor in the evening following on this. And everyone had the same problem. Everybody had bought such a tree for himself and this wanted to come in now. One discussed it half the night as one could feed these trees up again and which important care-labels were important, so that such a tree would not die. The harmony of seven was like a marriage. Everybody wanted to give something to the best one and they squelched so at once.
