7. SERIOUS HAS SPECTACLES AND THE LADY A MOTORCYCLE

Since the fourth room has been furnished and is still empty, there has been a depressed mood.
A kind of vague feeling of impending doom.
The lady of the ASC cannot reassure them either.
The leader and his assistant drink nowadays every evening two glasses whiskey or two beers.
Serious is almost always gone. He follows 2 studies at the university in the city and he goes there almost every day by bus.
When he comes home he has to study. He is not allowed to study in the fourth room . They have now cleared a room for him in the Lauwerkrans and he also has a laptop there. In the beginning, the animals visited him. But sometimes, when they came in, he would shut down the laptop immediately and blushes. It was clear that they were not welcome.

At first they thought it was because he wears glasses behind the computer.
But it isn't, because when he reads a book in het Dierenhuis, he puts those glasses on too. The penguins had to get used to that and they giggled and made jokes all the time. But serious said, "they are aviator glasses and I need them to read." And that was the end of it for him. The leader finds glasses interesting and asks the lady if she has a pair for him too. "It may also be an old one," he said quickly when she looked dubious. But then the lady said that was not possible.

The Grandma's at the crafts club also had a secret . The kitties and Finn are sometimes sent away. Then they go to the grandfathers, but when Daan is there they are not allowed in there either. That’s why they often play in the stairwell and on the street.

Fortunately, funny things also happen. They laughed so much about the lady of the ASC. A new welfare worker has come to work at the office with a big, sturdy motocycle. The lady likes him very much and tries in all kinds of ways to get his attention but that doesn't seem to work. One day she suddenly arrived herself on a large motorcycle. Complete with helmet.

But when she got to het Dierenhuis and stopped, she fell over. She couldn't handle the bike, it was too heavy for her. The animals were very startled and immediately called John.
John kneels quickly by the lady and opens the lid of her helmet.

Fortunately, the lady is not hurt only very shocked.
Renate quickly makes a cup of tea for everyone.

Now it appears that the fall ended well, everyone can laugh about it. Also the lady, but she does ask John if she can call the office so her colleague can pick up the motorcycle. From now on she will only ride on her scooter. “That is much nicer”, she says, “because then I don't need a helmet”. Yeah Yeah.
