The writer in this real-life fairy tale, as in her other stories, is both a teacher and a prophetess. It describes the bat, our distant mammalian relative that flies out at dusk and flies at night.

Mica Lakomica is a very easy-going cat, who catches a goldfish at the very beginning of the novel, but because of her easy-goingness, is left without it.
