It was late, but Dani couldn’t sleep.
Some people counted sheep, but not her!
Dani counted all the times she’d been happy.
Like the time when she was little and her cousin Sven gave her a frog.
And the first time she managed to swim three strokes without drowning.
And when she got her new schoolbag.
She was so excited. She’d waited her whole life to start school.
The summer had been very long because she was waiting so hard.
