Ben is a great climber, always has a thousand ideas in his head and lets everyone play at daycare, even the little ones. Ben likes strawberries and spinach. But not together. Ben thinks peas are stupid. Almost as stupid as the fact that he is always the last to be picked up from daycare. Every day. Everyone else goes home before him. Erik and Stella and Janosch and Nina and Anton and Neele and Max. But Ben knows why that is. Dad has to work longer. And because Ben has an imagination and is fed up with the looks of the other parents, he tells them about all the adventures that his big, strong dad has. He is the ruler of a big kingdom where there is everything your heart desires: chocolate, lemonade, ice cream, pasta! And knights are constantly coming by to plunder the kingdom. Sometimes giant queues even appear out of nowhere. But no one is allowed to leave the kingdom without going to Ben's dad and paying. The other children are amazed! Ben can tell such great stories. And actually, it's stupid to always be the first to be picked up...
