As Hugo and the red lion arrived exhausted at the obstruction lake in Esch/ Sauer , Hugo stands frightened in front of a large wall. He screams: „What is this thing?“ The lion declared calmly:,, That is the barrage of Esch / Sauer.“ – „What is that for? ’’ asks Hugo astonished. The red lion reciprocates:,, An obstruction wall is a wall, that stauts the water . Therefore the water stands also almost entirely calm. But sometimes it can happen, that a little water swirl pulls a person into the water and quickly afterwards the person is drowned.“ -,, Than I'd rather don't go swimming .“ Hugo jumps up and smile is in his face. He runs downthe mountain and races on a footpath. There stands a tourist boat . ,, It has photovoltaic cells on the roof. The boat is driven with the sunbeams, “ explains the red lion. "Can we take this boat?“ asks Hugo. The red lion answers: ,,Yes, but then quickly, for many people are already on the solar boat.“ The red lion and Hugo buy two tickets. They climb into the boat and sit down next to the captain who carries a white with blue roveed cap. All at once the captain gets upset:,, Here next to me only my companion may sit . Departure is in a minute. Find another place.“ Hugo and the red lion seek ahead the places to the rear . At the edge of the boat, two places are yet free. Next to Hugo and the red lion stand two strange armaments. Hugo runs forwards to the captain and asks:,, What is that equipment behind the boat for ?“ The captain tells him:,, That is diving equipment. You may use it once if you like to, come back if we arrive at our destination“ Hugo has an idea. He runs again to the rear and tells his idea to the red lion:,, The captain maintained, we can safely immerse therewith . We only must wait the departure .“ A pure whistle interrupts his conversation. ,, That is the departure signal,“ says the red lion. The solar ship crosses the obstruction lake. Hugo asks the red lion: " Do we now immersewith the diver armament? ’’ On that answers the red lion:,, No I first show you the landscape and forests, that is very interesting here. After that we can dive,“ the red lion declared:,, Here in the area there are very many forests. In the forests, many peculiar birds live. I believe that here there also snakes.“ – „ I hate vsnakes“, Hugo screams . Suddenly something peculiar appears at the ground of the bank. Hugo asks:,, Is this a snake?“ Hugo stands more closely at the edge of the boat to see the thing. The red lion reciprocates on that:,, I believe is that a sna..." Yet a light scream interrupts him: „Hhhellp, I'mmm drowwnning.“ Hugo snatches for airand screams this time more clearly:,, Help, I'm drowning.“ The snake that lains at the bank has slinked into the water and swims to Hugo, who is almost at the drowning. The red lion throws him a lifesaver, that hangs at a rope on the edge of the boat. Just as the snake twists around the foot of Hugo, the lion pulls the rope, that is tightened to the lifesaver and Hugo jumps back into the boat. Hugo is happy to be again on the boat. r He snatches air and the red lion asks him:" Should we dive now?“ Hugo reciprocate loudly:,, I don't want to dive into this water with snakes.“ – „Come the snake only wanted to learn to know you," answers the red lion. He assures Hugo:,, You have a diver armament, the snake doesn't do anything to you and you are fastened with a rope, " while Hugo puts on the diver armament. The red lion and Hugo are ready to jump into the water . Hugo was sohappy on that that he screams very brightly and loudly, while jumping into the water:,,Yuppiiiiiiiiii.“ Hugo screams so loudly that the obstruction wall collapses. Under water, Hugo and the red liondon't suspect what goes on at the surfaceSuddenly both see unclearly houses and the same church as well as at the surface. After fifteen minutes, they only see houses and don't interest no longer on that. Therefore they emerge and note what happens. They scream and there someone arrives to help them to get out of the water. Driven by the water, they reach the Moselle with the boat after half an hour .
