Merel was on her 1st school day at her new school in the village of Laag-zuthem,
Playing with word cards of the teacher, holding them wrong and letting Elise and Anne read it upside down...

Anne: oak haha that’s supposed to be cow.
Elise: this is funny, you are nice Merel!
Merel: next card, card is kjeq!

The teacher comes into class his name is mister Ulderink.
Mr. Ulderink: ok boys girls go sit on your places!
It’s a small school, 3 classes in one room...
Group 3, 4 and 5, Merel sits in group 3 and Anne and Elise in 4,
In her group she haze Sari but she is sick, Maartje, Anouk, Jarno, Wesley and Niels.

after school she comes home and together with her parents she goes to the shopping spree, she gets distracted and her parents walk to the snack bar and Merel stays behind, suddenly there is an explosion at the snack bar,
Merel looks at the snack bar then she runs away crying...
Her parents died in the explosion...

A few hours later Merel wakes up in some cave...
Merel: strange...
Without knowing how she came there...
Then she remembers the explosion and she starts to cry,
A few hours later she comes out of the cave and walks outside,
She follows the road a bit, it ends at a lake, some man is there talking and looking at a crocodile.
Merel looks into the water and sees another crock that I luring at the man...
She runs to the water and just when the crock wants to strike she distracts it.
Merel: get away from the water!
Man: what get out of here your a child!
Merel: you get out of here 1st!
Man: you get out I am not going to let you here.
Merel walks a bit backwards and whispers: come on crock go back into the water!
The crocks go back into the water the man walks back and Merel walkes with him,
Man: are you crazy that crock could have killed you!
Merel: well it didn’t and I saved you!
Man: *sigh* ok what is your name?
Merel: it's Merel
Steve: ok Merel my name is Steve; let me take u back home...
Merel: well, uuh that’s going to be a problem because I live in the Netherlands and I don't know for sure where I am or how I came here.
Steve: u don’t know how u came in Australia? Well ill take you home with me I will phone your parents and...
Merel stopped walking and started crying again...
Merel: my parents they they I I...oooooooh...
Steve: what's wrong? Hey come her girl its ok.
Steve takes her home with him and Merel explains what happened, Steve lets her see a forest that’s behind his house.
Merel: wow its beautiful here!
Steve: yeah it is but watch out there can be snakes or lizards or something.
At that moment the ground falls away under Merel's feat, there is some underground cave under there, Merel hangs on the side then she falls but just at that moment Steve grabs her hand.
