The story of the children's book
In their children's book "Rik and Jesper make a mess of it," they build away, which leads to The Disaster. Rik and Jesper live almost next to each other, with one house in between. This house is inhabited by the grumpy neighbor Arie Zemelaar, who dislikes children and noise.
The building activities of Rik and Jesper regularly cause noise and sometimes something goes wrong. This plays out especially on the day of The Disaster, where an underground tunnel system, strange structures, and a plague of special pets play a role.
