5. THE LADY OF THE ASC

 

Not long after that, the lady of the ASC came by. “I heard the penguins' room has become so beautiful. I would like to see it ”. The penguins proudly show her their room.

The lady frowns thoughtfully when she sees the rug. "Where is serious," she asks immediately. "He's never in these days," the widow said sharply. “Since he has been in the city, he is always away or is reading . I don't like him at all anymore ”, said adolescent sadly .
The lady wanted to say something, but she did not.

“I think your room has become really comfortable. There are now 2 sleeping cabins empty. What would you say about new residents? ” The penguins looked at each other in shock. They never thought of that.
“Well uh, we are still 7 people. That's quite a lot ” the leader said.
“And the little one is also getting bigger and needs more space. He will soon be 1 year old! And he is already complaining that he wants his own sleeping cabin ” the little one's father answered quickly. Actually, it was more because he was fed up with the little one always sleeping between him and his wife. He wanted to have his wife to himself again . That was so long ago.

“We have to celebrate the birthday; a party, a party; do we get a fish dish again? ” the penguins shouted all together.
“I will discuss it in the team,” said the lady as usual.

At that point, serious came into the room. "Oh, I didn't know there is a meeting, ," he stammered. “I was working on the computer with the grandfathers” and his face flushed again.
Then the lady quickly said she wanted to discuss something with everyone while giving serious a wink.
And because the weather was nice, all residents sat in front of the house.

“The room downstairs is going to be prepared for new residents. And before you ask, I don't know who it will be for. Honestly. It is all very mysterious. A container with furniture has arrived and stands in our garden. With a letter with instructions about the wall and the floor. We ourselves are not at all happy with this state of affairs. But we have no choice. If we do not cooperate, the subsidy will be withdrawn. From now on this room can no longer be used by you. Not to play chess, not to play hide and seek and not to relax ”.

When the lady had finished it fell silent. All animals had to process this news in their own way. Now that the bachelors are gone, it is so good in het Dierenhuis that they fear this harmony will be disturbed by newcomers. While most of the animals were still processing this news, little's mother shouted, “Don't you forget our son's birthday. Everyone is invited to the party ”.
