Tell me a story Annemarie, with a king queen and a palace.
One night Kirsti asked her sister Annemarie to tell her a story. Soon, she was fast asleep. This got Annemarie to think about the real King of Denmark, Christian X, and how she had seen him with her sister Lise riding through Copenhagen on his horse named Jubilee. She got sad remembering her dead sister. And then she remembered a night her father told her a story when she was small.
Once upon a time there was a King and a queen. They lived together in a wonderful palace.
Annamarie's father said that eventhough Denmark was taken over by Germany everyone still supported the king and would protect him, even by dying.
He is the king of Denmark
Who is the man on the horse?
Danish people are his Bodyguards. We all protect him!
Where are his bodyguards?
Annemarie asked why the King of Denmark didn't fight back to keep the Nazis out.
But Sweden is free!
Denmark is a tiny country and the King knew many people would die fighting. Nowrway fought as long as it could but Norway was crushed.
Three years now that Lise had died everybody has gotten older and older and sad and tired looking all the time. Peter, the red headed one was the person that Lise was going to Marry. Unfortunately Lise died so Peter is alone. Peter comes every now and then to check on everyone.
Annemarie remembers having Lise as a great sister. She fell asleep.
Ahhhhh, I still remember Lise, she will never be forgotten
