“How dare you!” roared the lion, and springing upon the dog, he tore him to bits.

The lion repeated the question. Seeing that an honest answer was not what the lion wanted, an eager monkey said, “Sir, your honorable den smile like a palace garden. Over there,” and he pointed to one corner, “your den smells like roses. Over here,” and he pointed another corner, “your den smells like hyacinths …”

“Oh?” said the lion interrupting him. “Well for the false flattery you deserve the same treatment as the dog.” And he destroyed the monkey, also.

Probolinggo, March 24^th 2002

Dear Oma,

How’s everything going with you? We are all very well here and I hope that you are too. Father is very busy with his bird-farm. You know more than fifty birds make him very busy. Mother has a new mixer. Actually she likes to make cakes, but I don’t like her cakes. They taste very strange on my tongue. (Ssstt … don’t tell her about it). Dhaka is still very naughty. He likes to bother me, but he often makes me laugh because, as we all know, he is very funny.

We have a new servant because the old one got married. At first I didn’t like her because she didn’t look friendly. But now I begin to like her because almost everyday she makes something nice to eat (and of course much nicer than mother’s cooking).

We plan to visit you on the next vacation. Hope to see you soon.

Well, that’s all for now, Oma. Please give my kiss to Opa.

Nova
