PlayCare.

The year is 1992. Evening. The PlayCare kids had played enough for the day with DogDay, PickyPiggy, and the others. You were one of many of these kids. It would be time for bed soon. But there are often buts. The kids were gathered in the main hall. In the middle was a chair, on which sat a tall boy. He was holding a book called "The Gingerbread Man", loudly, expressively, but softly reading it to the others.

"Ouch, oh, three quarters are gone! Well, now I'm lost..."

He raised his kind blue eyes to the other kids, closing the book.

"And the gingerbread man said nothing more. The end."

He stood up from his chair with a slight smile, slightly absentmindedly placing the book on the chair and spreading his arms.

"Now it's time for bed, guys. The caretakers might get angry."
