From left to right: Ares, Mrs. Slackware and Pequelin |
Mrs. Slackware is a very active teacher. In the morning she teaches the second class and in the afternoon she offers to take care for those children whose parents work in the afternoon. Currently only two penguins use that offer:
Ares is the son of a banker. Last year Ares' father was promoted to be the director of the Royal Bank of Penguins. In that position he has to work for about ten hours a day, so he cannot take care of Ares in the afternoon. (In the morning Ares goes to the second class.) Ares' mother did not show any interest in Ares or his father since Ares' parents got divorced shortly after he was born.
Ares' classmate Pequelin is the daughter of very famous clock-makers. Because they get many orderings from all over the world Pequelin's parents need to work from early in the morning to late in the evening. Currently they are away to an international exhibition. (Not that they need to visit the exhibition, though: they could work for about three years only making clocks for the customers who already made an order.) Last year Pequelin has won a visit to a movie company. (The people at the movie company actually thought that the name "Pequelin" is too complicated and simply named her "Peggy".) Since then she dreams to become a movie actor.
