The Wrong Present
The little mouse thought it would receive a piece of cheese, but it found a wrong present in the box. It's okay, because the mouse trap could be useful too.
The kitten thought it would receive a little fish, but it found a wrong present in the box. It's okay, because the crocodile could be a good companion too.
The dark cloud thought it would receive lightning, but it found a wrong present in the box. It's okay, because he will work with this new friend to make everyone smiles.
What happens when you open a long-awaited present box and realize that it's not actually what you want, or something you hate or even fear?
The author creates several interesting and unexpected scenes, showing the possibilities and different values in our life, and encourages children to think about how to turn "useless" into "useful".
