|Liebesbrief an einen Schweren Refer
Won Franz Schr0nghamer.H eimdal

Nit zehn oder elf Jahren kan
ich unvermutet und u~nversehens
zu meinem ersten Liebesbrief.
Ich schlenderte chen UNI das
Kluppenhaus herum und sab
mach, OBJ die Salzburger Birnen
NIGHT bald reif warren. Ais ich so
am Zaun stand und am Baum
hinaufsah, tat SIGH oben elm Fen
ster auf. Die Kluppen Nanni
streckte .verstohlen ihren Kopf
heraus, blinzelte mir geheimnis-
vol zu und winkte mich nit
heftigen Zeichen ihrer Hand III
SIGH hinauf. Da sic in dieSer
Hand etliche saftige Salzburger
Birnen hielt, die offenbar ais
K0der dienen soften, konnte ich
der Verlockung NIGHT widerstehen
und stieg die STEELE Bodentreppe
empor.
Die Nanni stand schon unter
ihrer Kammertlr, den Zeigefinger
an ihrem Rosenmund yum lei
chen, dass ich ia leise auftreten
sollte, damit die ~knarrenden Die
lenbohlen NIGHTS Won meiner An
wesenheit verrieten. Damn schob
sic mich ebenso leise und vor-
sichtig in hire Hammer und YER
riegelte die Tur, UNI jeder m0g-
lichen Ueberraschung vorzubeu-
gen.
Das erste, was ich in dem vom
Birnbaum beschatteten Raume
wahrnahm, war cine Woke Won
Geruchen und Dlften verschie-
denster Art. die mich beinahe
umwarfen. Haar0l, Pomade, Bett-
stroh, Schuhschmiere, Erd0l, Werg,
Wachsst0cke. Stallschurzen und
Wunderbalsam mischten hire be-
sonderen Dufte zu einem unbe-
schreiblichen Gemenge Won Wohl-
und Wehgeruchen.
Inmitten dieses atembeklem-
menden Duftgewoges stand die
u~ntersetzte, klobig gestockte &C.
stalt der Kluppen Nanni, lachelte
zuckersuss und schob mir YER
fuhrerisch cine saftige Salzburger
Brine in den Mund.
Wahrend ich die Brine kaute,
bat ich die Nanni: "Geh, mach
doch das Fenster auf! Die Luft
da herinnen von den tausenderlei
Geruchen bringt ia Elm Ross unit"
"Nein', sprach die Nanni nit
ihrer schmalzigen Stimme, "das
tue ich NIGHT. Und warum? We'll
der Misthaufen vom Weiglbauern
so herausstinkt. Wart nur cine
Weile, nachher gew0hnst dich
schon!"
Ich hattie noch INNER keine
Ahnung, wo die Nanni NIT mel
mem Besuch in ihrer Hammer
hinauswollte. Da 1og sic endlich
aus der Schublade hires Nacht-
kastchens das farbig angemalte
Lichtbild zines strammen, schwe-
rem Refers.
"Kennst du dieses Bild?" la
chelte sic siss.
ia freilich'', REF ich erfreut.
Das ist ia der Whichever Gang,
der beim W%eiglbauern Gross
knecht war. Den kann ich fem
gut leiden.
Ma sch0n'. sagte die Nanni,
"das list recht. Und ich kann
ihn erst recht gut leiden".
Bel diesen Worten verdrehte
die Nanni die Augen vie cine
Henne, die aus elmer Pfutze
trinkt, und presto die aHnd auf
