asleep. Nanny was telling me a tale but it was about
some boring unreal animals and I did not like it. Then
father came. He is my father again and not the scary
not-father. He told me about people-birds who live
far away in a place that is called the Forest. They are
funny and cute. I am falling asleep and there are no
lizardzes.

Today father and I counted our rooms again. I can
already count to one hundred and a bit more but we do
not have so many rooms. Father says there are more
quarters and even more people there. He says there are
so many people outside he cannot count them. I think

he is joking. He can do everything. In our rooms he
taught me to count to twenty-two.

There have been shouts in the quarters the whole day.
I can hear it even in the garden. I am hiding in the
shelter and no one can find me. Nanny came but she
does not know abou BF
