Chapter 1; Bruno makes a discovery
Dear Diary,
I just came home to find Maria in my bedroom packing my things. I asked Mother why Maria is in my room and she said it's because we're moving! Can you believe it? Moving! So what am I supposed to do? I'm so mad! Carl, Martin, Daniel and I are supposed to hang out this weekend, but now I'm moving away from Berlin! It's horrible! We're supposed to be best friends for life, and now I have to tell them goodbye.
Mother doesn't seem to happy about this either. She says we're moving because Father's job wants him to move so he can do a 'special job' as she puts it. I don't like it. I asked if we could remain behind with Grandpa and Grandma in Berlin while Father leaves, but Mother told me that Father would miss Gretel and I terribly.
I'm going to go help Maria now like Mother asked me to do, I hope she hasn't packed the things at the back of my cupboard which is no one else's business yet.
-Bruno
