Bring on the Night

My wife started school in august, and everything is going as planned. Good school and great teachers. She even decided to pick up a few extra books with voice tapes for learning the correct pronunciation besides the normal homework.

I decided to listen in on 2 of the books and to my horror found them completely depressing. Is this what you want to teach new Danes?

The books (translated):

Title: “You have to help Tea”
About: A mentally ill woman whose boyfriend left her because she is too quiet (read: crazy). She sits in a park, and falls in love with a young mothers baby. She forgets to take her medicine, starts hearing voices and steals the baby the next day. Well, that’s Denmark for you! Baby-stealers!

Title: “Alone”
About: A nervous housewife who finds out her husband cheats on her with a younger woman. Just what a newcomer who have to depend on his/her spouse needs. Denmark: cheat country of the west.

Now I am just wondering what the last 2 books are about.

Title: “I forgot the time”
My guess: Could be about the evil Danish husband who forgot to renew his wife’s visa?

Title: “Karen loves caramels”
My guess: A perfect guide on how to lure children with candy here in Denmark?

Welcome to Denmark.

Update: C just received the book they need to learn for the first examination. The plot is about a woman alone at home who has a ill baby with high fever. She calls the ambulance, but the baby gets a cramp and turns bluish. The mother faints since she believes the baby is dead, only to wake up and find the baby alive in the arms of a doctor. The doctor takes both to the hospital for observation and medicine.

At least this one has a happy ending… sorta.
