When Mäzli and Lippo were
neatly1 washed and dressed the next morning, they came downstairs to the living-room
chattering2 in the most lively manner. Mäzli was just telling Lippo her plans for the afternoon when he should be back from school. The mother, after attending to some task, followed the children, who were
standing3 around the piano.
As soon as she entered, Kurt broke out into a frightened cry. "Oh, mother, we have forgotten all about the poor people whose houses burnt down and we were supposed to take the things with us this morning."
"Yes, the teacher told us twice that we must not forget it," Lippo complained, "but I didn't forget it."
"Don't worry, children, I have attended to it," said the mother. "Kathy has just gone to the school with a basket full of things. It was too heavy for you to carry."
"Oh, how nice and convenient it is to have a mother," Kurt said quite relieved.
The mother sat down at the piano.
"Come, let us sing our morning song, now," she said. "We can't wait for uncle, because he might come back too late from his walk." Opening the book, she began to sing "The golden sun—with joy and fun."
The children taking up the melody sang it briskly, for they knew it well. Mäzli was singing full of
zeal4, too, and wherever she had forgotten the words, she did not stop, but made up some of her own.
Two
stanzas5 had been sung when Kurt said, "We must stop now or it will get too late. After breakfast it is time to go to school."
The mother,
assenting6, rose and went to the table to fill their cups.
But Lippo broke into a loud
wail7. Pulling his mother back, he cried, "Don't go! Please don't! We must finish it. We have to finish it. Come back, mother, come back."
