Quiet family home
For the first time in more than twenty years, a couple has returned to living alone in a house that is too big for them. The living room, which used to be constantly noisy with the cries and footsteps of the children, now echoes quietly only with the ticking of the clock. Feeling a little sadness, the couple thought back fondly to those days of slapstick child-rearing that had made the world go round. They had made the right choice. They were proud of their seven children, who had grown up fine, and were enjoying their peaceful time together. It was then that the best surprise arrived for them.
