action
Lasse doesn't want to go to sleep in the evening. He always finds new things to do. His mother has absolutely no idea how to get him to go to bed earlier. Therefore, Aunt Lotte lets Lasse see through her magic glasses. With this Lasse observes what the other children are doing.
Lasse sees a bear cub sitting in bed after a long day in the woods and eating his honey pulp. In the nursery, the rabbits go to bed after a pillow fight. Five little bird children sleep in the trees after they have practiced flying in the afternoon. Three squirrel children play with a toy train, eat a candy and then go to bed. Meanwhile, the mouse child Kasper comes home late after playing in the yard. His mother explains that he needs to have dinner quickly and then go to bed because his siblings are all asleep.
After Lasse took off his glasses, Aunt Lotte explained to him that he had seen that all children had to sleep in the evening. Therefore he should also go to sleep. Lasse goes home and undresses very quietly. When his mother comes to put him to bed, he is already asleep.
