Behind the forest on a big frozen pond, a big event took place in winter. An important hockey game. Two interesting teams played against each other.

Here, it would take the food to the different stalls where people went to shop. The van was driven by one driver… But he wasn’t just any driver.

Winter was over. The green grass started to grow everywhere, flowers bloomed in the meadows. The sun was getting warmer and warmer. In the kindergarten outside the window there sat Tessie, a little girl with fair hair, rosy cheeks and blue eyes that looked like wells. She always cheered up all the children in the kindergarten with her sweet smile. But she hasn’t been laughing much lately, and not at all today. She was looking sadly out of the window, her head leaning towards her hands and her eyes completely glassy, as if she wanted to cry.
