Janick is taking part in an exchange programme in Australia.
Janick wartete am Flughafen auf seine Austauschfamilie. Er dachte,
„Ich warte schon eine Stunde lang, vielleicht kommen sie nie?“
Tausende Kilometer weit weg von Deutschland saß er da und wartete.
Sein schwerer Koffer war vollgepackt mit Geschenken und kurzen Hosen.
Er war sehr müde und mit jeder Minute wurde er trauriger.
Dann sah er die Familie kommen. Alle in Flipflops. Sein
Austauschpartner Neil hatte ein kleines Schild in der Hand mit
Janicks Namen. Er war genauso alt wie Janick, aber viel größer.
Hinter Neil waren seine Eltern und jüngere Schwester.
