This morning Lola woke up with some sweet words in her mouth.

“They are here” she says. “I can feel them growing under my cheeks”.

Lola would like to say her sweet words to daddy Lola would like to say her sweet words to daddy. But it’s too late, daddy is leaving.

Lola would like to say her sweet words to mummy, but mom is in a hurry.

“Mom, I’d like to tell you...” Lola Mumbles. “Later sweetie”, answers mom quickly, “you’ll be late for school”.

On the bus there’s too much noise for sweet words.

On the school playground Lola approaches the teacher On the school playground Lola approaches the teacher.But the teacher has already a little one up on her arms.

She doesn’t think too much of her desk mate She doesn’t think too much of her desk mate. He won’t have her sweet words.

“Sweet words”, she thinks,”are not for chewing”. At lunch time in the dinning room everybody’s chewing. Lola says nothing. “Sweet words”, she thinks,”are not for chewing”.

It’s break time. Everybody’s playing in a ring It’s break time. Everybody’s playing in a ring. Lola couldn’t utter a single word, not even a sweet word.

Going out of school, there’s Frankie, the king of the skateboard Going out of school, there’s Frankie, the king of the skateboard. He’s rolling down the street. Lola’s in love with him. It is to him that she wants to offer her sweet words the sweetest.

How rude! He passes through right in front of her nose without stopping, without saying anything, without waiting for her sweet words.

On the bus there’s still too much noise. However Lola, now, frowns.

At home, while she goes to and fro the living room Lola frowns.

When their parents arrive, Lola’s still frowning.

She doesn’t feel like saying any sweet word anymore.

At dinner time, she finds meat disgusting, the salad looks bad, the apples are rotten and the soda is tasteless.

What’s wrong with you Lola? Tell us! say mom and dad.

Lola is completely decided: “I won’t say a word it’s not worth it Lola is completely decided: “I won’t say a word it’s not worth it. I won’t say my sweet words”.

But her cheeks grow and grow and all of a sudden Lola cries...

“Mom, dad , I love you! I love you! I love you!”

Lola has finally managed to say her sweet words. As sweet words are gone they really work. Immediately, everything turns in cuddles and kisses for Lola...

What if tomorrow the sweet words don’t come back? But as she’s climbing up the stairs to her bedroom she feels a little bit worried: What if tomorrow the sweet words don’t come back?

As soon as Lola turns the light off, she calms down, tomorrow’s sweet words are already in her bedroom
