warmed to their work as the even
/ ing went on.
The parade floats represented the
legends Of ar. music. literature ant
history. Royalty was represented b,
such unlike rulers as the queen O.
s.heha and the Frost King, and n,
court LANGUAGE was German.
This was because most OF III
marchers IN the parade were Ger
