Der Kommer En Dag Page #5

Hello.

The brothers did not see her.

They had become ghosts overnight.

From now only the superintendent

and the eternity note change that.

Spacecraft Apollo 11 has now

been ten days under way

and is expected to land on

the moon at 21 pm Danish time.

Much is still uncertain, and a

whole world holds it's breath.

- Can't you turn it off?

- Yes, of course.

It looks great. Accounting is in order,

and not a single remark.

- How long has he admininstrated it?

- Heck has been principal since 49.

Since 62, he has been head of

the Principal's Association.

- He'll soon receive the Knight's Cross.

- How nice. He sounds deserving.

Our visit won't be popular.

We haven't announced it.

If all is as good as the report says,

surely we may pay a visit.

It's deserved. You should have received

the Knight's Cross long time ago.

Thank you, Mrs. Oskarson.

The work is reward enough.

It's very deserved.

One has to get one's finest clothes.

No, i'm only the principal.

What shall we do by the king?

Congratulations once again.

I'll see to a dress with it all.

You'll be so attractive that even

the king will be jealous.

Toft Lassen, get one of

the boys to clean my car...

- The Principal must come.

- Not now.

It's got to be now.

There are only 2 toilets, cold water

and 8 washbasins for the 47 boys.

Yes, but you must talk

to the principal about that.

What's happening here?

Hello, my name is Gert Hartmann.

I'm the new inspector.

I've just joined the Department

and am here for my inspection.

We've not been informed.

It must be held another day.

I understand your surprise, but inspections

must not be reported beforehand.

No, but why, however,

show up unannounced?

We want to show ourselves from our best

side. We look forward to another day.

I would not like to start my first

meeting with Gudbjerg

by writing to the Department

that I have been rejected.

No, of course not.

Well, well, well.

Inspect the buildings first,

then we get us a good lunch.

I would now like to

talk to the kids first.

- With the children?

- It's them it is all about.

They haven't had their bath. They are

doing their chores in the fields.

Then they'll probably be

happy for a short break.

- What's your name?

- Elmer.

Are you OK, Elmer?

- Well. Do you get enough to eat, boys?

- We submit diet plans.

Now it was the boys I asked.

- How did you get this wound?

- He fell from the hayloft.

- How did you get this wound?

- As the headmaster says.

It's got inflammation in it.

He needs treatment.

- Yes, we shall look at it.

- I'll take care of it.

How did you get the

lump in your forehead?

I fell.

But the principal helped me.

Everything he does

is for our own good.

- Listen.

- Listen!

I'm here to control that you're

treated well. I'm here for your sake.

Want to tell me something in private,

stretch one hand in the air.

Anything your sorry

about, whatever

you can tell me. I promise

I will help you.

I want disease reports and

description of routines submitted.

Of course. We do this in advance.

Each quarter.

- If you looked in the protocols.

- Thanks for today.

Mrs. Oskarson, will you prepare

a draft for a complaint?

Back to work, boys.

Three weeks to the school ended and

then we would get our eternity note.

So why say anything?

- Have they said where you're going?

- Not yet.

But those without apprenticeship

and family goes to Rdemllegrd.

They take siblings. So if the

principal is satisfied with us,

I'll ask if Elmer

can come with along.

Completely under the edge.

The principal wants it all cleaned.

- Are you finished cleaning dirt?

- Yes, sir headmaster.

Come with me.

You, too.

The principal shall have a terrace.

Soil must be raked off,

gravel laid and tiles on.

If there is even a tiny edge,

you have to make it all over.

- When shall it be finished?

- This evening.

If you can get your finger out,

you can watch television with us.

- What are you looking at?

- Television?

The principal is in a giving mood.

He has gotten a letter from the king.

While he rejoices, the rest of us

can watch the moon landing.

Who cares about that?

Pricipal's car is to be cleaned.

- I'll do that.

- Well. Yes.

Come, boys.

That was how we got to know.

On July 20, 1969.

Elmer had forgotten all about it.

But it was good enough.

Claus Toksvig, Houston has the

latest news about the landing.

I have what Armstrong said

about the runway. It reads:

"It looks good. Light shade."

The moon ship's own shadow.

"Okay. Stop the engine."

Then came the official announcement:

"Houston, Eagle has landed."

Now we are waiting for the exciting

moment when they will walk on the moon.

That's nice, Erik.

Really nice.

It's approved. Come over to the

others and watch television.

It's one thing I would

ask the principal.

Yes.

I'll soon leave for a new place.

Can my little brother come along?

You're not going to a new place.

I'll tell one of these days.

But I've turned 15.

It should be a surprise.

Don't say a word to the others.

I'm extending Gudbjerg with an

apprenticeship department.

I'm so pleased with your progress,

I reserved a place for you.

Until you turn 18. I need someone

who can be an example for others.

It's a great opportunity for you.

But remember, not one

word to the others.

I can't.

- What do you mean by that?

- You have to let me leave.

Erik. Come along

over to the others.

I have done what you said.

- I have done everything you've said!

- Now no fuss, right?

Erik.

Armstrong is going out. On the ladder's

second step, he can release the TV camera.

We can see him coming

down the ladder now.

Before Armstrong's steps

down, he'll try to step up again.

He says it is possible.

It's a big step up.

Aldrin says he should not slam the

door, so he can't get in.

Now he steps out.

It's one small step for man.

One giant leap for mankind.

The world's first man on the moon.

Every TV broadcast is

second to this one.

These are facts.

It happens on the moon at this moment.

Erik! They did it!

They did it!

Erik? Come and see!

Where are you?

Erik?

They beat him almost to death. After

three days he had still not woken up.

Even Mrs Oskarson was

becoming worried.

It didn't help that I

got my eternity note.

I had been waiting for

it for four years

but it was not

as I had expected.

We had one week left.

But there was no news about Erik.

The Principal has asked that

he gets complete tranquility.

You can't go in to him.

So. Now you've seen him.

But he will recover?

It is important that he

gets complete tranquility.

Go down and continue with the mail.

The suits were beautiful.

But the helmet, they

could have made better.

Most of the time they

were inside the rocket.

When they were outside,

one could see it everything.

Here.

You must drink something.

You must drink

something, else one dies.

Erik. Erik!

The boy is really bad.

He has a high fever and coughing blood.
