I tell myself each morning:
“I'm up! Hooray, hooray!
Today is simply great,
I'm so happy to see you all!”.
I'll chase away the drowsiness,
I'll hurry to my exercises,
Then after that, washing up,
Sweet tea for all my effort.
But first, a spoonful of oatmeal.
I ate it all, even the crumbs
Left on the plate,
Didn't mind even the skin on the milk!
I'll pack my schoolbag myself
And even check the door:
Did I lock it now,
Did I forget anything?
Why is Mom here?
Looking at me with a cheerful gaze,
Smiling, still watching?
Even Biscuit, the cat-bandit,
Looks at me strangely.
What's going on here, family?
“Today is a day off!
Sweetheart, my dear, with you
The morning played a joke like that.
You got up so early
And you're a good girl in every way!
Dad confirms it too.
Only school is closed!” —
That's what Mom told me.
I smiled at that,
Stretched out sweetly, sweetly.
I lay down on the bed
To sleep a little longer.
After all, today is a day off,
My favourite day of all!
