who is the man who rides past?

It's bedtime and Kirsti's having a hard time falling asleep so she asks Annemarie to tell her a fairy tale.Annemarie makes up a story about a princess living in a time without war. Sounds pretty nice.Annemarie remembers seeing the king out and about when she was young. Nothing wrong with a celebrity sighting, but the memory makes her think about her big sister, Lise, who died.she thinks about a story that her father told three years ago. In the story, a German soldier interrogated a little boy about the way in which King Christian moved freely around the city. The little boy responded that "All of Denmark is his bodyguard".The whole thing made Annemarie feel patriotic, and she talked with her parents about why King Christian allowed the German army to occupy Denmark. During this conversation, her sister was still alive, and their mother was in the process of making a trousseau for Lise.At that point, three years ago, the German army had successfully taken over countries that didn't resist, like Denmark, and even countries that did, like Norway. Annemarie's family talked about how one country, Sweden, remained outside of German control. And that's the end of Annemarie's memory.The situation in Europe now is pretty much the same as it was then. As her dad said, "Sweden is still free".Still lying in bed, Annemarie thinks about how much the Germans have changed everything around her. She tells the end of the princess story, even though Kirsti has fallen asleep. 


"How the people of denmark loved king  Cristian we was not like fairy tale king, who seemed to stand on a balconie giving orders to subjects, or who sat on golden thrones demanding to be entertained and looking for suitable husband for their douther"

This qoute make me think alot,it seems to be that all the fairy tale are the perfect story but really they are? Not all the fairy tales are perfect or like in real life.when the girl are reading the story to her little sister it seems to be that he is tocking of the lider hitler. Like in the quote said stand on a balcon giving order is tocke of a king thet is  mean. Why the author write like this maybe he whant that wen think that he is tocking of hitler.if i can toke with hilter i would ask why he is so maen with the people.

"The whole world had changed only the fairy tales remained the same.
And they lived happily ever aferter annemarie recited whispering into the dark completing the tale for her sister,how slept besider her,one thumb in her mouth"

So how the whole world had changed only the fairy tales reminder the sames?I choice this quote because is interting how it said of the fairly tale.this book is to interting how the girls discrible in difrents word the germans people and they discribe with word that nothbady knows.the fairy tale not allway it said the true and alway is over with happily ever after why?

I like this capter alot beacuse i like the story that annemarie tale to her sister.it is very interting all about the germans soldiers. I what to keep reading more and more and asking questions becuse whent i read more this boke i still reading more.in predict that in the next chapter they are going to find a german sodier and they are gong to be friends but then the soldier diapers.
