Beschreibungen

Asa tries to give her classmate a biscuit.

Nami evades her classmates' playground game of acorn-throwing.

Happy decides she's not interested in doing anything other than lying down on her sofa.

Each of these three stories begins in a reasonable place-but by the end you'll find yourself in another world altogether.
