The day was warm, and Henry and Hilde were sitting under a tree. Eugene had started telling them a story of past adventures, which he often did when their mother was busy.

"Confessions often happen in an emergency," Eugene explained.

"Haven't you told us this story already?" Hilde asked.

"Hey, I like that story," Henry interrupted, poking at his sister.

"It looks like we have a tie," Eugene chuckled.

"I didn't say you couldn't tell us the story, Father," Hilde insisted.

"Well, maybe I won't," Eugene smirked.

"Tell us about the trolls, then," Hilde suggested.

"Oh! That's my favorite," Henry added.
