German SummaryDie zwölfjährige Susanne ist ein bißchen verträumt und fühlt sich von ihren Mitschülern unverstanden. Sie schüttet dem alten Schleusenwärter, der viel Verständnis hat, ihr Herz aus. Er schenkt ihr einen Ring, der die Fähigkeit haben soll, seinem Besitzer zu helfen. Allerdings muß man ihn zu seinem Vertrauten machen. Susanne glaubt fest an seine Zauberkraft, und einige Wünsche erfüllen sich sogar. Sie bekommt eine Eins in Mathe, und ein richtiges Kamel taucht vor ihr auf. Manchmal versagt die Zauberkraft, aber Susanne hat längst begriffen, worin sie besteht. Man muß nur fest an sich glauben. Als eine Elster den Ring stiebitzt, hat sie bereits soviel Selbstvertrauen, daß sie ihn nicht mehr braucht.

English SummaryTwelve year old Susanne is a bit dreamy and feels misunderstood by her classmates. She pours her heart out to the old lock-keeper, who has a lot of understanding. He gives her a ring that should have the ability to help its owner. But you have to make him your confidante. Susanne firmly believes in his magic power, and some wishes even come true. She gets an A in math, and a real camel shows up in front of her. Sometimes the magic fails, but Susanne has long understood what it is. You just have to believe in yourself. When a magpie stabs the ring, she already has so much self-confidence that she no longer needs it.

Original SummaryA dodici anni Susanne è una grande sognatrice, ma si sente incompresa dai suoi compagni. L'unico amico, a cui la bambina apre il suo cuore, è l'anziano guardiano della chiusa, che le regala un anello magico, capace di esaudire ogni desiderio, purché il proprietario ne faccia il suo confidente. Susanne crede ciecamente ai suoi poteri magici del gioiello, che in più occasioni esaudisce i suoi desideri. La bambina ottiene ad esempio un dieci in matematica e un giorno incontra un cammello in carne e ossa. Altre volte, invece, l'anello sembra non funzionare, ma Susanne ha capito che l'importante è credere in sé stessi. Quando un giorno una gazza le porterà via l'anello, la bambina sarà talmente sicura di sé da non averne più bisogno. (Italienisch)
