Now it’s December. The whole year I have been standing at a dark, scary attic, but now the time has come that I can go outside again and play with my boss.

Before we can go on the long journey we have to make a lot of preparations.

One day my boss took me from the attic and looked at me. He looked at me from all angles, from above, from aside and from beneath.
