A little girl waits at the train station for her father to arrive.

A little girl waits at Frederikstad Station, Norway, to meet her father, a bunch of flowers in her hand. She sits on a seat and waits patiently as each train arrives, hopefully watching the passengers alight. She observes people on the platform including an elderly lady, station porters, nuns and a brass band. Her father eventually alights; he sees her sleepy on the seat and takes her home. The wilted flowers are left behind.
