Plot

Alfons is playing with Viktor and Viktor's cousin Milla. They build a treehouse. When he doesn't play with Viktor, he plays with Milla. Together they plan to build a letterbox with aerial lift, allowing messages to be sent into the treehouse. Milla kan bake cookies and create a theatre-circus with the Teddybears. She can also stand on one hand, and dares to jump from the garage roof near the parking lot. They think of a flag that can be raised and lowered.

One day at school, Alfons goes toileting when seeing a group of guys teasing him, writing that he plays with girls. For a while, he doesn't want to play with her but finally she still appears. Alfons ignore those who tease, and when the treehouse flag finally rises to the top nobody teases anymore.
