“The next day was, as the children called it, the day of “wild freedom”! Their father and mother went to visit; Miss Black went for a bike ride; Una and Den were left alone until eight o'clock. Having politely seen off their dear parents and their dear mentor, they received a cabbage leaf full of currants from the gardener, and tea from the cook Elena. They ate the currants so as not to somehow crush the berries, and decided to give the cabbage leaf to three cows grazing near the theater, but on the way to the meadow they found a dead hedgehog, which they were obliged to bury, and the leaf turned out to be extremely necessary for this purpose...” Translation : Anna Enquist
