somehow, sint and piet manage to find 26 copthall gardens on their journey to holland!
in 2007, tally set two pairs of boots in front of the fireplace -- cheeky little girl. this year, she puts out her tallest boots, equating a taller boot with more loot.
in full zwarte piet dress, joe and tally empty their shoes and snatch up the fallen pepernotjes. "he left us a note in blocks!" shouts joe exitedly. it reads "kisses from piet and sint." we find out later that tricky piet has also filled the cookie jar with special cookies and left daddy a chocolate letter C.
joe is full of questions as he eats the cookies he's gathered in his hat. "do you think anyone saw sint on his horse?" "did he ride all the way from shore?" "he couldn't get amerigo (his white horse) on the train, right? so he must have!" "i bet that was a lot of work to get here--do you think he'll still come on the way back to spanje (spain)?"
