The Money
Katja is now back home. She is not sure how to explain everything that happened to her family.
Dad
Hi sweetie. Did you find anything good while you were out?
Katja
I need to tell you something
Dad
Oh! Is everything okay Katja? You seem out of it
Katja
Yes I am alright. Let’s go sit down
Katja and her father go to sit down in their couch. It is filled with stains and broken, but they are used to it
Katja
So, I was out as usual when I met this strange man…
Katja begins to tell everything that happened.
During this her father stays silent. This is what she loves about him. He knows how to listen
When Katja is done with her story they both sit in silence for a while. Taking in what happened
Dad
That must have been scary! Are you alright?
Katja
Yes I am fine, thank you.
Katja
It was scary at first, but he was so kind that I felt almost at home with him.
Katja
But I don’t think he knows a lot about life.
Katja
The money he gave me can last us all month if we spend it well.
Katja
He only intended to give me money for a day!
Dad
Well, you will have to thank him then, if you see him again.
Dad
He must be a very generous man.
Katja’s mother storms into the room, interrupting their conversation.
Katja
What are you talking about mom? Did you listen in on our conversation?
Mom
Yes! But that doesn’t matter. I was the one who told you to go find money, so all the money you found is now mine!
Her mother spots the wad of cash, hurries over and grabs it.
Dad
Sweetheart. Let’s be calm about this. This money can last us a long time if we spend it wisely.
Dad
Let’s not hurry to spend it on things we don’t need
Mom
What are you talking about idiot?
Mom
And don’t call me sweetheart!
Mom
Now. I am going out to get myself a nice new pair of heels.
Mom
And you, Katja, better have breakfast ready before I’m back!
