There. A little glue.
Oh no.
This won't get us anywhere. Just hang on a little longer.
Why do you stay in bed all day long? You're not doing anything.
When the war is over, you're going to have to work.
And you're just lazing about. Come on, here's your book.
I really don't feel like it at all. You never feel like doing anything.
Do you think I feel like staying in this house all day?
I want to go outside, too. But we just can't.
Yesterday, the Allies took Cherbourg...
three weeks after they landed in Normandy.
That means they now have a port.
So now they can get supplies and soldiers from England...
to France, using the harbour.
And two cities have also fallen in Russia. So the Russians are coming as well.
Just a little longer. Dad and Hermann are saying that...
maybe we might even be liberated by October the tenth.
A lot of people are stuck inside and long to get outside.
Like people in hospitals or prisons.
But nobody's as cut off from the outside world as we are.
For us, even looking out of the window is dangerous.
Still, looking at nature...
doesn't make me feel sad. It calms me down.
It works better than a valerian pill.
Not just seeing that the world and other people just keep on going without me...
but above all, to see that despite of our misery...
nature just keeps on going
whether there's a war or not.
what would it be like? Just going outside,
walking through the office during the day....
through the front door and onto the Prinsengracht.
Like it's the most normal thing in the world.
Remember when we went to Zandvoort? Yes.
Mum says that when you feel bad...
you should think about all the misery in the world and be glad that it's not you.
But I think: go outside. Take a walk.
Look at all the beautiful things around you and find happiness within yourself.
I think that if you do what Mum says...
you'll really have problems when you experience that misery yourself.
When you're happy yourself, You'll make other people happy, too.
