At first glance, these humorous stories seem fantastic, but above all, they bring to mind the incredible variety and heterogeneity of the world that is right before us, but that we manage to overlook every single day. And it is this variety that whispers in our ear: I am here, too, the world is bigger than you. If earthworms under the earth can feel, even the sky can come alive for a moment: »Perhaps the sun rose an inch too high that day and an error occurred in the sky. Why else would there be numerous white lines left behind by airplanes cutting across the sky?« The animals in these thirteen stories are often more human than people, and people are what they always were – animals. Both animals and people pay more attention to their instincts rather than reason and find the most incredible solutions to their problems.
