Content
At school, Lara is asked to give a brief presentation about something that can fly. She decides to talk about elves – after all, she’s very familiar with the subject. However, when she wants to present Fritzi to her fellow students, her school bag is empty and there’s no sign of the elf. The other children laugh because they don’t believe in elves. Only Ben offers to help Lara to look for Fritzi, but Lara is just furious at first. Then, suddenly, something is flying through the air in the school yard. During German class, someone is drumming. And in art class, somebody knocks over a glass of water – maybe elves exist after all! Ben and Lara become friends, which takes a while for Fritzi to get used to. And Lara prefers going to school without her elf in the future.
