     (- - - ); hänen nimensä on Annika...mikä nimi se taas onkaan? Tulee heti mieleen siitä pikkutyttö, joka kaivaa perunoita mullasta ja peittää jalkansa, niin että vain vaaleanpunaiset varpaat näkyvät.

     (- - - ); her name is Annika...what kind of name is that again? It reminds me of some little girl that digs out potatoes of the ground and covers her foot so that only her pink toes can be seen.
