There was only a little about commonplaces while Mytzi finished preparing dinner. Once dinner was in hand they all kept gingerly testing the hot, thick stew until they could eat it, at which point they ate quickly so as not to let it get cold. After dinner Mirka showed her parents the drawings she had done earlier, the view from the day before she had finished, an imaginative drawing of penguins having a snowball fight in snow forts, and the one she had done of them in the tent. Once the topic of the drawings were exhausted, they sat around singing until they were tired enough to get to bed.
