Snails are horribly violent in when making love. So how are they connected to the image of romance?

SNAILS: Romantic, or Dangerous Beasts?

Learn German with Stories is something absolutely new in podcasting:

1) we pick you up at your level, with a constant, low ammount of new words per episode, starting from zero
2) we lead you to your goal in small steps, (we split the grammar into 100 pieces and slowly spoonfeed it to you)
3) we have a full-blown, continuous story, played by over 30 professional voice actors, designed to always make you hungry for more!

The story will have 100 episodes in total, and they will stay free forever. It's suitable for ages 12 and up. We cover the most useful and important German, which is 
all the words and grammar of the first level, A1. But also advanced learners benefit from it, because it goes much deeper than the standard A1 level. German Stories 
is one and a half years in the making, and it’s the most ambitious and unconventional German learning podcast yet. We hope you enjoy our show!

TRAILER (level A1++)

Всем привет! В прошлом выпуске мы говорили о суевериях и традициях, о том, что делают русские перед тем, как выйти из дома. Сегодня вы узнаете продолжение истории о детективе Иване и преступнике Саше, и мы с вами поговорим о деминутивах в русском языке.
Иван и Саша стояли вместе в подъезде. Только сейчас Саша заметил, что всё это время рядом с ним находился незнакомый человек.
- Ты кто ещё такой? – злобно посмотрел на детектива Саша. Вдруг у него зазвонил телефон. – Минуточку! – сказал парень и ответил на звонок.
Детектив услышал женский голос в трубке:
- Солнышко моё, мой сладенький. Я жду тебя уже два часа, ты где?
- Бегу, моя конфетка, бегу.
- Паспорта взял?
- Да, они у меня. Вечером самолёт. Поедем заграницу – и все проблемки решатся.
- Проблемки… Да у тебя не проблемки, а огромные проблемы! Мне из полиции сегодня 4 раза звонили, тебя искали.
- Знаю, знаю, котёночек. Не волнуйся, собирай вещички пока, скоро перезвоню. Целую тебя, зайка.
- И я тебя, зайчик. Пока.
Саша положил телефон обратно в карман.
- Дааа уж, миленький разговорчик, - засмеялся детектив.
Тут Саша понял, что этот незнакомый мужчина был у него в квартире, видел его ненастоящий паспорт и полностью слышал разговор про поездку заграницу. Ему стало страшно.
- Так Вы расскажете, кто Вы?
А что было дальше, вы узнаете в следующем выпуске подкаста! Подписывайтесь, чтобы не пропустить!

Hi and welcome back to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien.
Illustrations by Justin Todd. Read by me, Teacher Alyse.

📖 Chapter 14: The Marketplace

Before I begin reading, here’s a quick summary of the chapter:

Mrs. Frisby is shocked to learn that her late husband, Jonathan, was part of the rats’ secret past. Nicodemus explains that Jonathan had a good reason for keeping the truth from her, but he never had the chance to share it before he passed. As they talk, Nicodemus suggests moving to a quieter location so he can tell her the full story of the rats’ origins.
He leads Mrs. Frisby to his office, a comfortable and well-furnished space, where she notices a radio playing music. This sparks a memory of something Jonathan once mentioned, and she is fascinated by the sound. Nicodemus then begins to recount the history of the rats, starting at a marketplace near a big city where he and many other rats once lived.
The marketplace provided plenty of food, making life easy for the rats. Nicodemus and his friends, including his intelligent companion Jenner, often explored the area, gathering food and playing. One evening, while searching for food, Nicodemus and the other rats were suddenly caught in a trap. Bright lights flashed, and men in white uniforms appeared, capturing many of them with nets. Nicodemus himself was ensnared, signaling the beginning of a life-changing event for the captured rats.
