Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 The life of an aluminium can Coming from: Duale Oberschule Ramstein - Miesenbach, Germany Stefan Bayer, Ramstein - Miesenbach, Dec. 2000 Comenius-Projekt: Das Leben einer Aluminium – Dose – Life of an aluminium can Kapitel 2 – Chapter 2
After a long journey the growling vehicle came finally
to the standstill. Suddenly the can realized that her box was moved. She
was heaved out of the lorry and put into a large room. It was not until later that the can noticed where she
was when a nice salesperson opened the box. The can discovered an inscription
“Storeroom of the supermarket-chain ALDI” at a wall. The salesperson transported the box with a remarkable
two-wheel scooter to a shelf where others of her sort stood. Only now she could
read the inscription of her equals which said “Ravioli”. All of a sudden she
realized which contents she had. The market employee took the can out of the box –visibly
with joy- and put her into the first row together with the other “Ravioli”-cans.
There she spent two long days stressed out by the market`s radio music. One day an elegant lady appeared in front of the can.
After some consideration she reached out for her and put her into the shopping
trolley between yoghurt, candy and detergents. After that the customer pushed the trolley to the cash
register, placed the articles and the can onto the conveyor belt. Suddenly the
belt started to move and the can approached a funny instrument which was fixed
behind the belt. Then a man sitting behind the cash register seized the can and
pulled her unscrupously over that instrument. The price was a total of DM 11,95
a noticable proud sum for a can. Then she landed in a bag and after the lady had paid
she carried the can home to her house. It was a very big house equipped with everything. Once
entered the house the can was put onto a shelf
next to the window in the
kitchen by the elegant lady. A man stepped into the kitchen and both began a
conversation. The woman called the man who was obviously her husband
“Dieter” and he called her “Carola”. From this conversation the can
learned that Dieter was working as a policeman. He had recently arrested the
accomplice of a gang leader during an assault on a factory. The gang leader wanted to take revenge on Dieter and
had him get a death threat. While he was talking to his wife, who was preparing
dinner, he put himself at the window to avoid being in her way. Suddenly a black limousine turned with squeaking tyres
into the street and finally stopped in front of their big house. Slowly somebody
turned the tinted window pane down and a long tube was directed at the window
where Dieter was standing. The can recognized immediately the emerging situation
and rolled herself without long hesitation from the shelf and landed on
Dieter’s foot. He jerked screamingly because of the pain and the gunshot which
was discharged meanwhile by the person in the limousine. It missed his head by a
hair’s breadth and hit the kitchen clock. Rocovering from that fright the well-trained policeman
took up the chase after the limousine. Because of speeding the driver of the limousine crashed
into a parking car. The police arrived at the right moment at the accident’s
scene. As the door of the car leaped open and the perpetrator wanted to escape
Dieter put his leg in his way and the perpetrator fell down. Thus he could
arrest him. The policeman owed his life to the can which had acted
in the right moment. She had of course a light dent from the impact on
Dieter’s foot (floor) but she was happy about her heroic deed. Dieter put her
into his display case together with his collection of police cups’ awards.
