Matterinna noticed the sadness in the siblings' faces and knew that they needed some cheering up. She went to the kitchen and prepared a pot of tea, carefully selecting the herbs that she knew would help soothe their troubled hearts.
As she walked back into the living room, she noticed that the three siblings were still sitting there, lost in their own thoughts. She gently placed the tea pot on the table and said, "I think it's time for a little distraction, don't you think?"
Illyanna looked up at her, wiping her tears away. "What do you mean, Matterinna?"
Matterinna smiled at them and turned on the television. "Let's watch some shows or movies that can lift your spirits. I know it's not the same as having your parents here, but it's something that we can do to make the evening a little less gloomy."
Agnes nodded her head in agreement, and Max gave her a small smile. "That's a good idea, Matterinna. What do you suggest we watch?"
Matterinna scrolled through the channels, looking for something that would suit their tastes. "Well, how about some adventure movies? Or maybe some comedies to make you laugh?"
Illyanna perked up at the idea of adventure movies. "Yeah, that sounds like fun! Let's watch something with dragons and magic!"
Agnes giggled. "Or how about something with cute little animals?"
Max chuckled. "I think we should watch a little bit of everything. After all, it's not every day that we get to have a movie night with our favorite maid."
Matterinna blushed at his comment. "Well, I'm glad that I could be of service. Now, let's get comfortable and forget about our troubles for a little while."
As they snuggled up on the couch, sipping their tea and watching the movies, the sadness in their hearts slowly faded away. They laughed and cheered at the heroes on the screen, forgetting about their worries and enjoying the moment.
For a little while, they were able to forget about their problems and just be together, enjoying each other's company. And that was enough to lift their spirits and help them get through the tough times.
