A chance for Uncle Frits (2, lock)
Uncle Frits has run into a special opportunity, a very rare extremely original telescope. Too bad that an important glass part (the lens) is missing. Done what now?
Read the first part:
The fact that his brand-new second-hand telescope has a serious lack of glass is a shock to Uncle Frits. It doesn't get any better if he gets aunt's reaction when he tells her what he paid for it. Could it be worse? Yes, after aunt has said some unpleasant things about Uncle's intelligence, she insists on personally escorting Uncle Frits to the second-hand store to complain.
She adds the act acutely to the word, gets up from the garden table and looks at uncle compelling.
Uncle understands: he has to come along himself. He sighs deeply, looks at his plate with some melancholy, where some cake crumbs testify to past, pleasant times, and sweeps some stray crumbs off his pants.
