4.THE GREAT CLEANING
"We are going to clean", the widow said, "now that it seems that the bachelors will not come back, we have to take care of those stink cabins. Everyone is helping, ”she added. 

Everybody? No. Adolescent went for a swim with Jochem and Finn and serious is not at home either . Since serious went to the city , he is always away. Or he is reading and does not want to be disturbed . Actually, the other penguins don't like him anymore. Would he feel too good for them?

The penguins start to work and soon the room looks neat and clean again.
Unfortunately, the cabins of the bachelors are still a bit dirty.

The penguins are looking at their work with satisfaction. "How empty and boring our room is," says the widow. “Do you remember the rug we used for the circus performance? I saw that in the storage. And there is also some furniture. Come on, let's have a look, ” the leader suggests and immediately walks down the stairs. The others follow him.

 In the basement they immediately find what they are looking for.
"I like that rug so much," says the young couple's wife, "it will look beautiful."
“And we will also bring a chair. Come on assistant, let's see if we can carry it together ”. However they tried, the leader and his assistant were unsuccessful.
"I'm going to ask John. And I think Jochem, Finn and adolescent have just come home, ”said the young couple's husband.

The frogs are always ready to help and Renate came too. "What a beautiful vase with dried flowers," she exclaimed. “You should take that too. That will be beautiful. ” And she immediately picks up the vase. Renate has an eye for decorating. Nobody wonders if this was actually allowed.

Of course, the room was immediately redecorated and the transformation was great.
What a few items can do. Unbelievable.
"That rug is so soft at my feet," the widow cooed.
Adolescent immediately lay down on the rug to play with the little one.

The atmosphere, which was very minor lately, immediately became much happier.
It was like it used to be when they first lived in this house and everyone was happy with the company
They talked with excitement when they suddenly heard: "Hey, what is that?"

There stood serious and he looked dumbfounded. "Beautiful, isn't it, isn't it great," the penguins shouted.

Serious was silent for a moment and then he stuttered " mmmmm but you have a rrrrug". And he blushed. "Don't you like it?" asked the widow. " Yyyy yeah well, " stammered serious shy.
Well, since he's been to the big city he's become very strange, the widow thought. As if he no longer wants to belong to us . "What will the lady of the ASC say when she comes by," said the leader. She always talks about taking initiative and independence. And we have shown that now! She can be satisfied.
