This volume reproduces the complete edition of “Just So Stories” which includes the following stories: “How The Whale Got...

My English-raised mother heard the stories when they were new and read them to me when I was a child, I read them to my own children, they read...

See lugu juhtus siis, kui koduloomad olid alles metsikud. Koer oli metsik, lammas oli metsik ja siga oli metsik – kõik nii metsikud kui üldse võimalik. Metsikult ja omapead luusisid nad ringi niiskeis ürgmetsades. Aga metsikuim kõigi metsloomade hulgas oli kass. Ta kõndis alati omapead, ja kõik kohad olid talle ühesugused.
