Lojze and Manca met every day in the evening, told each other how much they loved each other and how much they missed each other. The days passed. Sometimes Manca also came to see Lojze. Nobody really wanted to adopt Lojze, because of his past and things he did. But they don’t know that he has changed. And very much so. So, soon, they were seventeen years old. Manca and her family invited Lojze to dinner. Lojze dressed nicely and brought flowers to ‘’Manca’s mom.’’ He wanted to make a good impression to her. And also, Manca’ s dad was there. He is a lot at work and very little at home, with family. So, they ate. Actally Lojze really liked what Manca’s mom cooked for them. Lojze has probably never eaten such good food before. When they eat they talked a little more. They laughed and had fun. It was late. Lojze had to go. They said goodbye and Lojze took the bus back to the orphanage. Lojze wondered what it felt like to have a family. He didn’t have it. He was very sad. He also cried. He was very sleepy. He fell asleep.

What happened the next morning?
