Look Valentijn, he's pissing.

Yes, just like us. Apes check

each other for fleas too.

Yes, just like us.

Do they eat vitamins too?

Probably. Try it.

He's eating it.

He eats it.

How much do they eat?

- A lot.

Can polar bears swim?

- Yes.

Why isn't he swimming then?

- I think he doesn't feel like it.

Why doesn't he feel like it?

- Maybe he's tired.

Why is he tired?

- Because people talk to him all day.

Come with me.

Mieke's all alone now.

Let's throw a party for your birthday.

For all the kids in your class.

Great, with coca cola and crisps.

We'll do it.

- Ok.

Everything will be alright.

Don't worry.

And now go to sleep.

Good night.

- Sleep well.

Right.

Valentijn, wake up.

Valentijn, wake up!

I have to go to school.

It's 8 o'clock already.

- No.

Look, 8 o'clock.

It's broken.

- No, it's not. Listen.

Micky, please.

Where do you keep

the brown porridge?

I don't want that.

- It's all I have.

Brown porridge.

I told you I don't have that.

- Fresh orange juice.

Eat!

Are you crazy, jerk?

Be happy that you can have

breakfast here.

I'll be late for school.

No, you won't be late.

Can I have some time to wake up?

Shoelaces, Valentijn.

I'll be late for school,

I'll be late for school.

Shut up, relax! Jesus.

You're not even wearing your socks yet.

- This is how it has to be.

Thanks.

See, we're late. They're all

inside.

It's alright. I'll go with you to

the teacher.

No, that's stupid.

How are you?

- Good.

I arranged everything.

Can I have everybody's attention?

Attention, please.

Tomorrow, Micky's throwing

a birthday party.

And all the children are invited.

It'll be a disco party.

It starts at 2 and continues

until late.

We have everything, coca

cola, crisps...

The children only have to bring their

own condoms.

Hey Mick, I don't think they're

coming.

I think I acted a bit weird to

the mummies and daddies.

Sorry.

What are you going to do there?

- Read to them.

The teacher always does that too.

From the same book?

No, poetry.

What's poetry?

Remember that I wrote something for

you with St Nicholas?

"This present is for my little man.

It's cookies in a can."

Very good. That's poetry.

And when you write poetry, you're

a poet and that's what I am.

And sometimes I read poetry

to people.

But it's not St Nicholas.

No, but some people always like

to hear poetry.

I have to poop really bad!

It's all the candy that I had.

Writing poetry's so easy.

I'll do it too when I grow up.

Valentijn Boecke

"Map Butterfly"

Dad, I'm bored.

Valentijn, I'm bored!

See that man? When he's ready,

it'll be my turn.

I want to go home.

A bit longer, Mick. One more hour.

Do you want another chocolate milk?
