- Who’s there?
- Delivery.
***
- For Leo.
- For Leo?! That’s my son!
- But he probably doesn’t know how to sign his name yet?
- Actually, he does, but he’s sleeping.
- Then as an exception, I will allo you to do it for him…

Leo looks at the big package.
He points to the word Leo”, then he points to himself and says “Me”.
Next, he analyses the surname “Hueckel – Śliwiński”.
He’s thinking.
This is when his parents realise that they probably forgot to tell him what his surname actually was. So Leo’s trying to figure it out himself… “Hueckel” – that doesn’t strike any cord, but the letters “Ś” “I” and “w” look somewhat familiar. That’s right! In the word “Świnka” (Polish for piggy).
So he lifts up his nose with a finger and pretends to have a snout.
The package is for Leo-Piglet.

We open the package…and what do we see?!!!
Akryl on canvas! With a signature! Beautiful!
A portrait in motion of Leo’s favorite character – Petit Poilu.
Leo was crazy with joy.
***
The painting was hung immediately.
Leo took advantage of the occasion and demanded that we read him the comic about Poilu, all of the parts. And we want thank very, very much for the wonderful gift!!!!!
