Et ass Samschdeg Moien. D'Sonn schéngt duerch d'Fënster an d'Anne gëtt gutt gelaunt wakereg. Si wunnt an engem gemittlechen Appartement an der Stad Lëtzebuerg. Hir éischt Iddi ass einfach: frëscht Brout fir de Kaffi. Si mécht sech prett, deet hir Jackett un an hëlt hir Posch. Si freet sech schonn op de Geroch vun der Bäckerei.

D'Bäckerei ass net wäit ewech, just um Eck. Si geet zu Fouss. D'Stroosse si nach roueg, well et ass nach fréi. An der Bäckerei richt et wonnerbar. Et richt no frëschem Brout, Croissanten a waarme Kaffi. D'Anne kuckt op déi vill lecker Saachen an der Vitrinn. Et gëtt souvill Wiel, vun Taarten bis Kichelcher. Alles gesäit perfekt aus.

Eng frëndlech Bäckerin steet hannert dem Comptoir. "Moien," seet d'Anne mat engem Laachen. "Moien, wat däerf et sinn?" freet d'Bäckerin. "Ech hätt gär ee Croissant an eng Schockelasrull, wann ech gelift," äntwert d'Anne. "Soss nach eppes?" freet d'Bäckerin. "Nee, merci, dat ass alles." D'Bäckerin packt alles an eng Tut.

Mat der Tut an der Hand geet d'Anne nees heem. Doheem mécht si sech e waarme Kaffi. Si setzt sech bei d'Fënster a kuckt op d'Strooss. Si genéisst hire Kaffi. De Croissant ass knuspreg a lecker. De Schockela an der Schockelasrull ass nach e bësse waarm. E gudde Start an de Weekend ass wichteg. Dëse klenge Moment mécht si glécklech.

English Translation

A Morning at the Bakery

It is Saturday morning. The sun is shining through the window and Anne wakes up in a good mood. She lives in a cozy apartment in Luxembourg City. Her first thought is simple: fresh bread for breakfast. She gets ready, puts on her jacket, and takes her bag. She is already looking forward to the smell of the bakery.

The bakery is not far away, just around the corner. She goes on foot. The streets are still quiet because it is still early. In the bakery, it smells wonderful. It smells of fresh bread, croissants, and warm coffee. Anne looks at the many delicious things in the display case. There is so much choice, from tarts to cookies. Everything looks perfect.

A friendly baker stands behind the counter. "Morning," says Anne with a smile. "Morning, what can I get for you?" asks the baker. "I would like one croissant and one chocolate roll, please," Anne replies. "Anything else?" asks the baker. "No, thank you, that's all." The baker packs everything into a bag.

With the bag in her hand, Anne goes home again. At home, she makes herself a warm coffee. She sits by the window and looks out at the street. She enjoys her coffee. The croissant is crispy and delicious. The chocolate in the chocolate roll is still a bit warm. A good start to the weekend is important. This little moment makes her happy.
