By Pirkko Vainio, English Translated by J. Alison James (North-South Books – 1997)

Lucas and his cat finally left their apartment to build themselves a home. Lucas had been saving his money to build his dream house. He got a small island, but it allowed him to build up one room on top of another. One night a storm came, and his high tower house bent like a reed. Next morning, Lucas found his house was changed to a wonderful bridge which were welcoming children to make him and his cat more happy.>>> The original book was published in Switzerland.

Lucasと彼の猫は、ついにアパートを離れて自分たちにホームを建てることにした。夢の家を建てる為に、長年資金を蓄えていた。小さな島を手に入れたが、狭い島なので、家の部屋は上に上にとしか建てれなかった。ある夜嵐が来て、彼の建てた塔のような家は、葦がきしむように曲がった。翌朝、Lucasは彼の家が素晴らしい橋に代わってしまったことに気ずいた。しかしその橋は、子ども達が喜んで渡ってくる橋となり、彼も猫も今まで以上に幸福を得られた。＞＞＞原本はスイスにて発行された。
