On the way, Waldek And Staszek meet a suspicious highlander who is a cheese maker, and he invites them over to his hut and feeds them sheep’s cheese. While talking, he told them that there was another man who lives in the highland behind the hill who also came from the city. Thinking that the man could be Waldek’s father, they asked the highlander to take them to that man. And that man turns out to be Waldek’s father, Krzysztof.
How Did The Meeting Go?
Krzystof is a game designer which impressed Waldek. He shows Waldek his working station and shows him the project he is working on. He told him that in two days Japanese investors would come to see a new game concept and wanted Waldek to work on a game with him. Waldek even fights with his friend, who senses that there is something wrong about Krzysztof. On the other hand, Aunt Mariola and Piotrek reach the highlander’s hut and Teresa has also found out that the boys are not home; she and Delfina are also on their way to High Tatras, which is where Krzysztof lives. Teresa was the first one to reach Krzysztof’s place and wanted to leave with Waldek instantly. But Waldek wanted to stay with his father. Krzysztof requested Teresa to let Waldek stay for two days so that they could work on the game presentation.
Why Did Krzysztof Ditch Waldek?
On the day of the game presentation in front of everyone present, Krzysztof lied that he came up with the idea of the game by himself. Waldek is disappointed with his father who goes on lying. Piotrek, in the nick of time, comes back to Krzysztof’s house and helps Waldek. Piotrek came up and told the Japanese inventors that Waldek collaborated with Krzysztof and has copyright law, and he cannot be left out if they are planning to invest in the game. When Waldek questioned Krzysztof why he lied to him and did not tell the investors that they worked together, Krzysztof shrugged him off, saying investors would not like the idea that a kid came up with the game design, and he did not want to risk his career.
