8. Too good to be true

The week had been long and heavy. Appi had a lot of school work and Häsä had filmed new videos for Häsä's YouTube channel. The presentation was also ready, it still had to be rehearsed for presentation.

It would be nice to sleep late on the weekend, but Doge always woke up early and woke up Api. It had to go for a morning run.

Appi put on his clothes and glanced at his phone at the same time. He had received a WhatsApp message from a friend.

— Ei voi olla totta! Appi huudahti.

Autumn vacation has been extended to a month! Four weeks of vacation, great, Appi rejoiced.

— Netissä lukee niin!

The Doge looked at the app strangely. It didn't sound plausible to Doge that the autumn break would suddenly be a month long. After all, the autumn break had lasted no more than a week, sometimes even less.

— Mistä sinä sen luit? Doge kysyi.

— Yksi kaveri lähetti minulle a linkwith this good news. It's some news website, Nonsense.com. I have never visited this page before.

Doge tapped his paw behind his ear and thought frantically.

— Pitäisiköhän sinun tarkistaa tuo uutinen jostain luotettavasta lähteestä? Doge kysyi. Esimerkiksi koulun omilta school's own website.

— Tuo saattaa olla hyvä idea, Appi myöntyi ja naputteli koulun home page address in his web browser.

— Mitä ihmettä, täällä sanotaan, että syysloma on vain yhden viikon, viikolla 45.

— Taisit olla oikeassa, Doge. Uutinen olikin liian hyvä ollakseen totta, Appi mutisi harmissaan.

— Kuka kumma kirjoittaa hölynpölyä ja väittää sitä uutiseksi?

— En tiedä, joku yritti juksata sinua ja kavereitasi. Kaikkea ei kannata uskoa, vaikka netissä lukisi niin.

Api had to admit that Doge was right. He should be careful what he believes. From now on, he would always check the reliability of the information.

— Nautitaan nyt vielä kauniista säästä ja lähdetään lenkille, Doge haukahti ja lähti juoksemaan kohti puistoa.
