She is in there because she had an accident with her bike. But it was not her fault. It was the fault of a taxi driver who was drunk. He did not see her and lost the control of his car. Therefore, she broke her arm and has to stay for one or two nights in the hospital. She cried a lot. I said to her: You will be all right. Do not worry! However, she got a cast and it has a lovely and bright red colour. Our dad was very angry about the taxi driver and his irresponsible behaviour. After he calmed down again, it came out that Hannah did not ride her own bike, it was mine. Then I was really sad as well because she did not ask me if she is allowed to use it.
