MEIN FREUND ANSELME

I mentioned mein freund Anselme in the last post so thought that I should explain things about him. He was strange. My parents, being away a lot, gave him to me when he was quite small. I was too. They thought that he would be a better role model for me than Agnes the chicken. Anselme loved to play football and eventually he got me interested in the game. We had a lot of fun playing this football but I soon got tired of it. No one else wanted to play with us so it was just the two of us on a great big football field running up and down. We had to take turns being the goalie. Anselme used to let me win some times hoping to keep me interested. More later.
