When they arrived at Prunsengracht, they went quickly upstairs and into the hiding place. They closed the door behind them and they were alone. Margot had come faster on her bicycle and was already waiting for them. All the rooms were full of boxes. They lay on the floor and the beds. the little room was filled with bedclothes. They had to start clearing up at once, if they wished to sleep in comfortable beds that night. Mummy and Margot were not able to help. They were tired and lay down on their beds. But Daddy and he, the two "helpers" of the family, started at once.
The whole day they unpacked the boxes, filled the cupboards and tidied, until they were extremely tired, they did sleep in clean beds that night. They hadn't had any warm food to eat all day, but they didn't care Mummy and Margot were too tired and worried to eat, and Daddy and he were too busy.
