Story
Juni ist 24 Jahre alt und hat schon viele Jobs ausprobiert. Auch die neue Arbeit als Rezeptionistin in einem Hotel macht ihr keinen Spaß. Die Uniform ist hässlich, die Chefin hat keinen Humor und außerdem sind die Gäste verrückt. Aber dann bekommt Juni einen seltsamen Brief, ohne Briefmarke und nur mit den Buchstaben GV als Absender. Noch seltsamer ist: Der Brief ist nicht für sie, sondern für eine Victoria Posch. Juni bringt ihn wieder zur Post, aber am nächsten Tag ist der Brief wieder da.

Story
In einem alten Haus finden die beiden Freunde Max und Yannick eine kleine weiße Statue. Nicht sehr interessant, so denken sie zuerst. Aber dann sieht Max ein Tierschutzplakat mit sehr ähnlichen Statuen. Sie sind aus Elefantenzähnen, also aus "Elfenbein". Jedes Jahr, so liest er, müssen 20.000 Elefanten sterben, weil Kriminelle mit dem Elfenbein sehr viel Geld verdienen. Ist ihre kleine Statue auch aus Elfenbein? Ist in dem alten Haus vielleicht ein richtiges Elfenbein-Lager?

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
