8th of December

Muddy slowly opened his eyes and yawned. 

He didn’t hear a clock or his mother telling him to get up. He also didn’t hear his sister moaning.

The young mole boy paused, something was wrong!

Irritated he left his bed and sneaked into the kitchen (his sister wasn’t in her bed anymore).

“Good morning, my late riser!”, his mother grinned. She sat in one of the seats and was sewing a new dress for a lady in Evergreen Village.

“What is going on here? Today is Wednesday, I…. Oh no!”, shocked Muddy detected the clock, which said that it was already lunch time, “I… I forgot to go to school! Why didn’t you wake me up, mum? And where’s Milly?”

“Calm down, everything is ok. The streets are frozen, so the busses can’t drive anymore. This morning the school called and told me that you have all a day off! And Milly is playing with the other children outside. I’ve heard they’re making a snowball fight!”

Muddy jumped in the air, “Yippieh! No school today! I must go outside immediately!”

“Don’t you want to have a breakfast first?”, asked Molly, but her son didn’t hear her.

He rushed into the children’s room, put on his coat and run outside.

“Muddy! Finally you’re here!”, Anton yelled, “Come in our team, we’re playing against the girls!”

The mole grinned, “Of course! We will conquer them!”

In full activity both teams played against each other, in the end all children were covered in snow and laid laughing on the floor.
