Cerbi Goes on Holiday
Cerbi was badly waiting for the holiday promised to him.
He went to bed every night counting again and again how many days were left until the departure. He was about to go for a two-week vacation at Lake Balaton. He had already written his list of things to bring with him, so he wouldn't leave anything at home. Swimsuit, slippers, warm clothes. But the list also contained a water pistol, a ball, frisbee, swimming belt, he even wrote up his small inflatable banana-shaped boat. He was proud to show his slip of paper to Hocus, who nodded when he read it.
"And who are you going to play football and frisbee with?" he asked unknowingly from Cerbi.
Cerbi took the slip of paper out of Hocus' hands with a meaningful look, and turned it over where there was a list as well.
"Surprise!" he yelled cheerfully, and he shoved the slit of paper back to the astonished Hocus' hand. Hocus took a look at it and read the names aloud deeply touched:
Guests of the vacation to the Balaton:
- Hocus
- Kocian
- Splash
- Serena
- Scarlet
- Tiny
"Did you really think of us, too?" he asked, because he didn't want to believe his eyes.
"Of course I did, you silly! How can you think I'm going to the Balaton to sunbathe for two weeks without my friends! All of you should pack up, I've arranged everything and we're leaving in two days! And I hope you figured out yourself that we're not going to starve on the way to the Balaton, either, because I have yet another list of Cerbona delicacies, so that we don't arrive with an empty stomach!"
In that moment, everyone stepped into the room, and when they heard about the great plan, they were thrilled.
"Three cheers for Cerbi!" they all cried out. Then, cacophony took over the room, because everyone had yet another idea as to what to put into the backpacks. But they could all agree in one thing: their favorite tasty and different-flavored cereals couldn't stay at home either.
