King's Day (1)

His Majesty King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands’ birthday is on 26 April, but this year he is celebrating it on 27th April. This is because it falls on a Sunday.

It is a great celebration for the Dutch people. Everything is decked out in orange. There is plenty of music, games for the children, and flea markets.

Peter is also getting ready for the celebration.

He has made an orange hat for Oleg.

 

PETER:

I’ve made an orange hat for you, Oleg, because Monday is King’s Day.

You should have a go at trying it on.

 

OLEG:

Oh… well… I’ll have a go at trying it on, but that’s as far as it goes.

I’m not wearing it on King’s Day. I’m already getting a headache just thinking about it.

 

AURORA: (helped Peter make the hat)

Come on, Oleg... don’t be so grumpy. It’s only for one day!

 

Aurora puts the orange hat on Oleg’s head

 

AURORA:

Oh... it looks brilliant on you, Oleg... really!!!

It fits you perfectly. You’ve made it so beautifully, Peter!

 

PETER:

Thanks partly to you, dear Aurora.

Now we’re going to make one for you!

Will Oleg wear the hat on King’s Day??????
