About This Passage
This is the first thing Annemarie says to the soldiers in the woods. She is brave, but she sounds calm — like a regular little girl with a regular lunch. Copying these words helps you feel how Annemarie made the dangerous moment look small and ordinary.
Annemarie held out her basket, with the thick loaf of bread visible. "My Uncle Henrik forgot his lunch, and I'm taking it to him. He's a fisherman."
