Deutsche Morning Star [Football]

Mellor Bode is a little border collie living in Cottbus. He runs on the grass with different-looking people every day. Football is passed back and forth between them, sometimes in the air, sometimes on the ground. The air is always full of joy. But Mellor was happiest when he saw the ball fly into the net, and everyone gathered around him. People who usually didn't want to get close to him would rub his head with their hands, and some would pick him up and lift him high, letting him roll over on the ground together. He liked this kind of life very much, liked their big and generous hands, liked the bananas and nuts in their hands, liked the singing and screaming in the stands, and most liked the joy in everyone's eyes when the lights fell from the sky. But Border isn't really Border Collie. After turning seventeen, Mellor gradually discovered that he was not the well-behaved little border collie he thought he was. No dog would live in a human body, so was he a human or a dog? Mellor didn't know the answer. It doesn't matter, a warm home will tolerate everything, and they can accept all of him. But the wider world is calling, and Mellor is pushed out of the house and faces the wind and rain. "Melor, our little genius!" "Melor, you are different. You have to go to a bigger stage and go to them." "Little Merlo, you are the most special. One day, you will wear that white." With tears and blessings, the morning star of Cottbus traveled all the way from East Germany, from Poland to Munich, from Bremen to the Netherlands. He shines in this land and hangs in the hearts of every German. He is the morning star of Germany. Intention: There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
