The Story of Helly part 5/7
The old man said: “No,
I’ll send you any place you want to go in my garden, but you can’t go home
until you appreciate it.”
“Well then,” said
Helly, “at least put me where there are other
children to play with.”
The old man said: “All right, if that’s what you want. But what will happen
if you start bothering them?”
“Oh,” said Helly, “I
promise not to do that.” But to herself she said: “Maybe I couldn’t cope with the birds but I can certainly handle children. I’ll make them so tired of me they’ll beg the old man
to send me home.”
