Title: Ich hab ein Zimmer frei
First published: 2004
Description: Anna longs to have the expensive red boots she saw in a mail order catalog that she cannot afford. She can rent a room of her large house.  All her tenants  (a goose, a carnival princess, a giraffe, etc.) are poor and she ends up spending more money on them than she earns.  Finally her tenants offer her a pair of red boots as a present.  She finds out that they are a bit small for her now.  This can only mean that Anna is growing up.
