In her group of friends Mathilda is often the one to come up with fun ideas and games. Har friends enjoy her company as you are seldom bored in it.

Today

Mathilda is going on a Sunday activity with her family to Fotografiska Museet in the city. She doesn't really know what to expect since she hasn't been there before. After asking a lot of questions about the museum at the breakfast table, she has decided that she is looking forward to going. Her parents have told her that there is an exhibition with pictures of animals, and she is excited because she likes animals and likes spending time with the family, but is worried because she thinks that sometimes her parents tend to give her younger brother all the attention. When this happens she tends to get bored and not have a good time. Other times, on the other hand, she and her brother have a lot of fun together. Mathilda is hoping that the family will also have time to have "fika", which means sitting down in the café of the museum and having cake. She always enjoys spending time with her family likes this and also she really loves cake.
