The Unexpected Gift. Dreamily, she sits on the sofa on Christmas Eve when her cat Hexchen comes in from the winter cold, bringing her a little mouse. What an unexpected gift for the holiday! As she thanks Hexchen, something even more surprising happens: her cat suddenly responds in human language and expresses gratitude for the warm welcome in the cozy home. A wonderful conversation unfolds between them, as they reminisce about beautiful yet exciting moments together. This extraordinary, completely unexpected gift of being able to chat with Hexchen is worth more than gold. Such rare and unique moments, where human and cat understand each other so intimately, are truly special. Literary Advent Calendar, illustrated by Sandra Frick. In a tin box with 24 pieces.
