The cookie has been returned.
On Monday, another note appeared at the newspaper offices. Like the first, it was written in letters cut out from magazines. It said that the cookie monster (I refuse to capitalize his name - he's a skinny impostor) planned to return the golden cookie. His reasoning is as follows:
“Because Werni, like me, so loves the cookie, and is now always crying and misses the cookie so much, I'm giving it back.”
Werni is Werner Bahlsen, the CEO of the company and board chair of the International School, who is probably not used to being called Werni in the news media.
The cookie showed up the next morning, lying on a statue of a horse outside of Leibniz University in Hannover, wrapped in a red ribbon.
So now Bahlsen will donate thousands of boxes of cookies to local organizations, and the cookie monster will be a fugitive from the law. The people of Hannover are probably a little disappointed that the drama is over, or at least we think so. I hear the Count might be up to no good in Hamburg.

About Me
- Julia
- Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
