Plot edit
The story is set right after Christmas, as Alfons and his father are bored because Christmas is over. Alfons' friend Viktor is sick, and can't play with Alfons. Alfons grandmother on his mother's side is visiting Alfons, and states it's good to be bored, waiting for something fun to happen. She removes the Christmas decorations. Suddenly, Viktor approaches. He's no longer sick, and can play with Alfons again. No traditional Knut's dance is carried out, but the Christmas tree is thrown out from the balcony, and down towards the snow-covered January ground.
