17. 3 FRIENDS
Since they all have their own place to sleep, it has become so much more
fun. Everyone goes to bed whenever they want and is rested in the morning when
they come out again.
Little one grows like cabbage and likes nothing more than frolicking
with the adolescent and the bachelors.
The widow does not like to go to the Lauwerkrans anymore. There are a
few men out there who are quite pushy. She prefers to go to the lady of the 70's
house and the lady of het Kant huisje . The 3 of them have become good friends.
The lady of het Kanthuisje gave a tour and their mouth / beak fell open in amazement. They had never seen so many beautiful things. And when the lady said that she had made it all herself, the penguin almost fell over in surprise. The lace was called bobbin lace and an old lady who was often in the shop showed it. Penguin got dizzy. So quickly as the bobbins rolled over each other. And there were so many bobbins!
The lady of the seventies house said shyly that she too made bobbin lace. "But not as beautiful as you," she hurried to say. She blushed.
What a great afternoon that was. They agreed to come to the 1970s house the following week.
In the 70's house they drank tea and ate tasty fruit tart. The lady from
the 70’s house showed all her needlework. She could knit, crochet, spin and dye
wool, embroidery and macramé and much more. It made the widow dizzy.
“ And will you come to my house next time? " the widow asked timidly while worrying. Was there something she was good at?
But she could tell about the ice floe where she had lived and about their harsh journey here. About the disaster and the death of her husband and many other family members. That made the women of the lace house and the seventies house silent. They had never realized that the penguins had suffered so much.
And although they were only sitting on the stairs, it was a very special afternoon for them.
