More Gifts

The next day the weather was still cold and snow started falling again. It was a good idea to spend all day at the museum.

Before going to the Louvre museum, Jean invited Finland to stop by a shop to buy her two wool beanies and two pairs of gloves so that Finland would not get cold. He made it his sixth to eighth present for Finland. Finland was very happy.

She had never gotten so many birthday presents before.

They had a really nice time at the museum, and on the way home, they passed by the river Seine. Jean took Finland to stop by one of the street painters stands near the bridge. He asked her to sit for half an hour while the painter made her sketch.

That was his 9th gift. Finland was amazed by the sketch result. She was portrayed so beautifully with snowflakes falling from the sky against the background of the Notre Dame church.

"This... this is very nice..." She couldn't take her eyes off her portrait. "Oh, Jean... I love all your gifts!"
