Short, sweet and educational

It's such a sweet little story about a man who is lazy and day-dreams. I've always been a fan of Sheikh Chilli and his short stories. The illustrations were really good.

This book just isn't what I thought it would be. The edition I got was def longer than this one, 150 pages I guess.. I thought it would be funny, was it? No. It was rather lame sometimes and probably not funny anywhere, read it at your own choice, lol
