| Summary |
"Veikeitä juttuja pienille lapsille" by Rudyard Kipling is a charming collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book features a series of whimsical tales that explore the origins of various animals and natural phenomena. Each story contains playful language and imaginative scenarios that are both entertaining and educational for young readers. The opening of the book sets the tone with its engaging storytelling style, featuring a tale about how the whale acquired its throat. In this story, a gluttonous whale, devouring all the fish in the ocean, is persuaded by a clever little fish to try human flesh. The narrative unfolds with humor and cleverness, illustrating the whale's encounter with a resourceful shipwrecked sailor and the ensuing consequences that led to the whale's inability to eat humans thereafter. This playful beginning establishes a whimsical atmosphere that continues throughout the collection, making it an intriguing read for children and their families.
