Tommy’s house

“And fetch my crown, please!”

“Have you ever seen anybody hidden in the wizard’s castle as a prisoner, still wearing a crown?!”

“You are too down-to-earth!

Have you ever seen a princess without a golden or at least silver crown?!!”

“Wear whatever you want, Lill!”

“Hurry up! I’ve already dressed up!”

“I’m not going to save you without my sword! Wait a minute!”

Ten minutes later they prepared decorations made of chairs, blankets, and some stuff from the room, and started their play. It was quite exciting.

Tommy was surprised with Lilly’s creativity and her ability to invent new scenarios. She was free to express her feelings.
