🐈 Can I open it? May I? May I? Pleeeease.
🐆 No, today it's my turn.
🐈 Typical! I'm never allowed to open a package.
🐆 I don't understand. You just freed Niara and Mneka two days ago. Have you already forgotten that?
🐈 No, didn't forget. Just ignored. I just wanted to tease you dad.
A little bit later…
🐈 A book?
🐆 A book!
🐈 How did that happen? Normally only stuffies come in the mail.
🐆 I dont know. But look, there is a lion depicted.
🐈 Oh, it looks cool. But also a little scary. Are there more pictures or do we have to read in the book too? Darn, we have to read. So, come on, Dad, read it to me!
🐆 Does this really have to be now?
🐈 Yes!
🐆 But I'm very tired and-
🐈 It's afternoon. Why are you already tired? Have you gone after the cats in the neighborhood again?
🐆 Young lady, I don't know where you got stories like this about me, but none of it is true. Still, I'm tired.
🐈 Those who can chase the cats can also read aloud. Read to me, dad!
🐆 Sorry, but I-
🐈 Dad?
🐆 Honey, I have to tell you something: Your Dad- I- I can't read properly. I tried to learn, but it was really hard and- I'm so so sorry baby.
🐈 Why didn't you ever say a word?
🐆 ...
🐈 But you don't have to be ashamed of that, Dad. Especially not in front of me. You're the best dad a little Swede could ask for. What does it matter that you can't read?
🐆 What does it matter? A father who can't read to his daughter - that's a shame.
🐈 Then just learn it! Or can you no longer learn this from the age of four? We can learn together if you want - father and daughter learn to read. That would be great. And in the meantime, Mara can help us out. After all, it's a book of lions. Guess, she'll love to do.
A little bitty later…
🐱 Then let's see what you've found here - wow, but that's a wonderful book. And about lions, too. Oh, that is written in a foreign tongue - it seems to be written entirely in English. Reading will be a bit bumpy, i think. But i'll do my very best.
👨 PS: I can't wait for "Remembering Cheetahs" to arrive.
