Canary - Man/Animal
One day a family buys a canary and soon the grandmother claims she can
understand the language of the bird. She tells the bird’s story to her
granddaughter, who writes it down here in a naive, but expressive style.
The reader learns 
of the exciting, but also saddening and frightful experiences of the bird with
its previous owner. Seen from the perspective of an animal, the description
of our human world acquires 
a special touch. (8+)
