While playing with her hair, Gretel found an egg as big as the tip of a needle. She showed her mother a horse to check her hair, and quickly pulled it off one by one, then went to Bruno for the same check.
Oh, I can’t believe my mother said angrily, I knew this would happen sooner or later.
The conclusion is that Gretel Bruno has lice on her head, and Gretel needs a shampoo that smells disgusting. She sat in her room and wiped her tears for hours.
Bruno also used this shampoo, but his father thought it was best for him to start over, so he took a razor and shaved all Bruno’s hair. Bruno also cried, but he didn’t watch his hair fall from head to head, but his father said it was necessary.
Then Bruno saw himself in the hand-washing mirror and felt very ugly. His head now seems to have changed because he is bald and his eyes look particularly big on his face. He was almost frightened by his image in the mirror.
Don’t worry, father assured him that the president would come for several weeks.
It’s the dirty stuff here. Mother said that although I can’t see it, this place is filthy.
When he saw himself in the mirror, Bruno couldn’t help thinking how much he looked like himl now. He wondered if all the people on the wire had lice before they were shaved off.
When he saw his friend the next day, himl smiled at him, which hurt his confidence even more.
I look like you now, Bruno said sadly, as if I had admitted a terrible fact.
I’m a little fat. himl thinks so, too
Chapter 17 Mother’s Choice
In the next few weeks, mother seems to be less and less going to live together. Bruno is very aware of this, which may be because, after all, when they first arrived here, he hated it because it was very similar to his hometown in Berlin and lacked some very important things, such as three close friends. However, as time went on, his views changed a lot, mainly because of himl, who was more and more important to Bruno than Carl Daniel Martin, but his mother had no himl. She had no one to talk to here. She used to be a little closer. Young Liu Trent kotler was also transferred to other places.
Although he didn’t want to eavesdrop on the little boy from the keyhole or chimney, Bruno heard his father and mother talking in it when he passed by his father’s office one afternoon. Although he didn’t want to eavesdrop, he couldn’t help but listen to a few words when they were talking loudly.
It’s terrible. Mother is talking. It’s terrible. I can’t stand it any longer.
Let’s not choose our father to say that this is us and
No, this is what your mother said. You are not us. You can stay here if you want.
Then what will others think? Father asked me to let your children leave me and go back to Berlin. They will doubt my recognition of the work here.
The working mother shouted that you can call such a thing work.
Bruno couldn’t hear more because their voices were getting closer and closer to the door. Mother always lost her temper after drinking, and his horse ran upstairs, but he still heard that they had the opportunity to go back to Berlin, but to his surprise, he didn’t feel anything about it.
He has retained his love for his life in Berlin in the past, but things have changed now. Carl also has two other good friends whose names he can’t remember. He may have forgotten him, and his grandmother has died, and he has hardly heard from his grandfather. His father said that he is old.
On the other hand, he has gradually adapted to living together, and he no longer opposes Herriz. Although he has never been to Berlin, Bruno is closer to him than Maria, and Gretel has entered a new era. She is no longer like a hopeless person, but chatting with himl every afternoon makes Bruno happier than.
What’s Bruno’s feeling when he says no? He thinks that no matter what happens, he will accept the arrangement without complaining.
A few weeks have passed and nothing has changed. My father is either in his office or on the other side of the wire. My mother is very quiet during the day, but she has to take a long nap. She goes to bed before lunch. He is worried about her health because he doesn’t know who needs to drink so much grape wine. Gretel stays in her room and concentrates on reading newspapers on various maps posted on the wall for a few hours, and then moves those little pins a little on the map. Herriz appreciates Bruno very much. He is very obedient, does not cause trouble, and is very proud that he knows his secret friends.
One day my father called Bruno Gretel to his office and told them that there was going to be a change.
Sit down, children. He said and pointed to two large leather armchairs. They came to their father’s office because their hands were dirty and they couldn’t enjoy such treatment. Father sat in his chair and we decided to make some changes. When he continued to talk, be sad. Tell me, are you happy here?
It’s the father, of course, Gretel said
Of course, father Bruno said
Don’t you miss Berlin?
The children hesitated for a while, looked at each other and thought about how to answer this question. Well, I was dying. Gretel finally said that I wanted to be friends again.
Bruno smiled and thought about his little secret.
My friend’s father said that nodding is something I often think about, and you must feel lonely often.
Very lonely, Gretel said firmly
What about you? Bruno’s father asked. Looking at him now, do you miss your friend?
Well, he answered carefully, thinking about the words. I will miss my friends wherever I go. He is actually alluding to himl, but he doesn’t want to be too specific.
But do you want to go back to Berlin? Father asked about the opportunity now.
Shall we all go back together? Bruno asked
Father sighed deeply and shook his head. Mother Gretel, do you want to go back to our hometown in Berlin?
Bruno thought about it. I won’t if you don’t come with us. He said it was true.
