Geese are clever, they are loyal, and if no cooking pot comes between them, they can live surprisingly long. The goose from the Kreuzbauer is a true specimen, and the story of the two is one of a very special lifelong friendship. The Kreuzbauer meets his goose when they can barely walk. He protects her from the butcher's axe and shares his secrets with her. He takes her to school and later on vacation. She sits with him at the regulars' table and on the garden bench in the sun. The goose thanks her Kreuzbauer with a clever look and occasionally with a loving "Naaah." Dirk Eckert tells the story of a unique friendship that spans from diapers to a cloud in paradise—and even then, it is far from over. It is about true friendship and loyalty, life and death, farewell and comfort.
