	Intro
	Scene	Once again, Mehmet tells Nils that a pet could be fun to have for Lena's sake, as she loves animals. Nils and Mehmet start talking about what animal would be best, then Wolle suggests a solution to the problem: he and Pferd will volunteer to be pets. Mehmet thinks it could be a good idea, because then Nils could see what it is like to have pets in the house, but Nils is not really sure. But before he can object, Wolle and Pferd get their stuff and move in.
	Scene	Pferd and Wolle have made themselves comfortable in the house. Pferd and Mehemet are excited to know more about what it means to be a pet. Wolle finds his book on the subject and starts to read aloud. A pet should be fed regularly and played with. Pferd likes the feeding, part and immediately asks Nils to get food. Nils goes to the shop to get some food.
	Scene	Mehmet and Nils then take turns playing with the new pets and feeding them. In the process, the entire apartment ends up being very messy. In the end they are all very tired, except for the two pets. Nils and Mehmet decide to take a closer look at Wolle's book.
	Scene	Pferd and Wolle quickly agree that being a pet is really great. Nils and Mehmet then come back. Nils is holding a saddle and Mehmet a hair cutter. Pferd orders more food from them, and Nils responds by saying that he will be fed tomorrow. After a few seconds Pferd realizes that he won't be fed before tomorrow and is in shock. Nils finds the pet rule book, and says that the book says that pets should be fed once per day. It turns out that Nils and Mehmet have found other interesting things in the book. Nils says that the book says that horses can be ridden and Nils puts the saddle on Pferd's back. Pferd doesn't like the feeling of the saddle and tries to shake it off with no luck. Then Mehmet turns on the cutter and Wolle starts to shake with fear; he knows that sound. Mehmet says that the book says that sheep should be cut regularly and that the wool is useful to the sheep's owner. Wolle then remembers he has another appointment in five minuets and hurries out the door with Pferd close behind. Shortly afterwards, Samson and Finchen turn up, saying that Pferd and Wolle told them that Nils and Mehmet are looking for pets and that they will move in as pets.
