Trofors - Center of The World-

Trofors Grane is located in the municipality of Nordland in Norway and is a very small town with 800 residents. Before we moved here, we lived in Romedal in Hedmark. Then we were four and a half. Our parents Does had always aim to move back north, the whole family. Dad's mother was ill then and he wanted to be near her if something should happen. Then we had the rest of our family here in Trofors and Mosjoen, located about half an hour from Trofors. My father is self-employed and can work anywhere.

Just before we moved from Romedal føngade we are a frog that we named the Frenchman. We thought that the Frenchman was a good name. We made a båtbana (I do not know the translation) to him, he had to sit in a small boat and we drove him around and around. We took very good care of him, until we had to leave him and move to Trofors. We could have him for a week and were sad when we have to leave him. Therefore we drown him. Marcus thought that Frans would die, because we would leave him. But he had to live on. Now he is certainly dead, but it is not our fault.

Here we are six years. Martinus left, Marcus right. (pg. 36)

Out of the way! Martinus rides in the snow. (pg. 36)
