Čoban nadmudrio carevu kćer: Hrvatska narodna pripovijetka
The story was originally published in the collection of Croatian folk stories from Vojvodina "To the sky", which was collected and edited by Balint Vujkov, under the title Wise Shepherd, and narrated by Miško Zelić Kaćmar.
"Dad's Medal" is a short, imaginative, concise story about the relationship between parents and children, in which we see the problem, rebellion, acceptance and resolution of an unsatisfactory relationship.
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.
