Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Ok, this is a weird call for help.

My mother teaches grade 1 (french immersion) and we’ve pulled a prank on her kids in her class. They are madly attached to a character from a series of books they read. The character is a magical purple cat with blue spots named Chabichou. I had painted the three main characters from the books in her classroom windows at the beginning of the year. To pull the prank, we removed the cat from the window, and made cat tracks all around her classroom!

The kids have been witnessing some strange things throughout the school. They even have been emailing Chabichou, and getting responses! According to the books, this cat walks on ceilings, goes under closed doors… does all sorts of things… and speaks all the languages of the world. WELL! One kid in the class is from the Netherlands. He send me an email (well, he sent Chabichou an email) in dutch. I need help translating it, and translating an answer back to him.

THANKS for any help anyone can give me!

email the cat (!) at: chabichou@mailpuppy.com I’ve been having a bitch of a time logging onto the boards.

Coldfire, you’re still my favouritest hero (sorry, RickJay)… :)))

I sent you the text, but will post it here too.

Lieve Chabichou

     Ik ben zo blij dat jij weer terug bent.
     Wil jij mij eens vertellen hoe jij die magische truckjes doet en heb jij er ooit weleens een foutje mee
     gemaakt?
     Hopenlijk schrijf je gauw terug. Ik kijk uit naar je antwoord.

     heel veel liefs van

     Rutger

Sua - Unnatural, I know, but the kids got one HECK of a kick out of it. :slight_smile: The cat is back on the classroom window (had to get up at 4am and drive to the school for 6am to paint it (a 1.5 hour job) before the kids got to school…

:slight_smile: I like to torment kiddlets.

Best,

Elenfair
