What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
—Bavarian Proverb
No worries, though—my name is Lederhosen Pug, and I know the way (知道).
And when I trot to the border of our friends in the Czech Republic, I have to cross through some pretty formidable forests.
These aren't just a little copse off in the countryside, people. These are big, thick, and old. It may not quite be Heart of Darkness dense, but they are impressive (and a little bit scary, even for a tough little Bavarian pug like me).
On our side, we call it the Bavarian Forest. Over across the border, it's the Bohemian Forest. All I know is that even the bark beetle (which has done a devastating job on the beautiful territory) can't eat away the deep, secluded wonders of these forests.
Yes, the Black Forest over to the southeast is something special, but Grandma Pug used to tell me stories about strange beings in the forest that would make the Brothers Grimm run for cover.
I stick to the main roads. I know the way.
Pug Wary; Pug Sensible (Pug Scared).
