11. ABSOLUTELY GREAT IDEA AND WONDERFUL PROJECT

The next day was Sunday. Elon’s family ate breakfast. Elon’s dad started to say : I have a very good idea. I want to create a Museum named  after Brother John in our city, where the people could see his memorabila, his writtings,photos and films, all minerall colection, herbaria , masks and shamans costumes.

Elon and his older brother Andre shouted in delight: Dad, this is an absolutely great idea ! And where would be this museum. As a city’s architect, we sure  that you already know !

Dad said : I think I know, but I need to check with the mayor.

And Elon’s mother,who was the major’s secretary assured that she would tell the mayor everything on Monday morning.

Elon’s dad said also : I’m going  to call Reni’s parents and Mrs. Susy, and invite them to dinner at restaurant  by the park. I want them told about my idea. They joined me and we worked together to develop a preliminary project for the museum. Then we will go with this project  to Abbot Josephan the mayor.

Dad called Reni’s parents and Mrs. Susy. They were delighted with the idea too and agreed to meet for dinner. Elon  and Reni, the dog Trolly and Fyfy the pig meet before dinner  in the park by the pond with swans. They fed swans and told everything about brother John’s  birds and treasures, and about Elon’s dad idea.

Swans were delighted. Other children who were in park and listened  to this stories said : We will tell our parents and colleaques at school. It will be in the scholl’s newspaper !

In the evening Elon’s and Reni’s parents and Mrs. Susy met at the restaurant. Elon’s father also bought children near restaurant large portons of ice cream’

Reni’s parents were teachers.; Her father taught physic to young people in high school. Reni’s mother taught the children to play the piano in music school.

Reni, Elon and his brother Andre listened to their  parents conversation. Reni’s mother suggested the idea of arranging the museum in closed buildings after military baracks, which were adjacent to the botanical garden on the outskirts of the city. She said : And in the garden you could build large conversatories for brother John’s birds. These birds have become friendly with each other, it would be a pity to separate them.

Mrs Susy said : My son Peter reconciled with my former huspand, the directr if circus. He no longer wants to run a circus, but want to arrange an asylum  for his animals. He’s rich man and could buy  land between  the military baracks and the river, and build an asylum there.

Adults and children exclaimed with great enthusiasm : Oh, that would be just wonderful ! Reni and Elon added : We want to be a real shelter for homeless dogs and cats. And to create  a scholl for animals where they would be  learn to read, write, count, history, geography and biology !

This idea disturbed adults. Thei said  that there are no such schools in the world yet. And Andrea said : We will be first. I’m finishing high school this year and going to college. I’ll chose animal’s psychology and pedagogy. I’ll be able to teach lessons in such a school.

Mrs. Susy added : Mt ex husband Jeremy  will be able to organize this school and also teach there, he know the languages of animals.

After dinner everyone returned home happy and smilling. The kids told everything to Trolly and Fyfy.Now they to began to dream of a museum, conserwatory for birds, shelter and asylum for animals, a school for animals.It was wonderful project that’s what everyone thought.
