The reader has an idea after the first evening of the story that maybe everything is not as it seems. Mommy remembers how little Jete, who hasn’t spoken well yet, just sat on the educator’s lap on the first day of kindergarten, not letting the educator get up – but in Jete’s story, this first acquaintance with the garden looks completely different: there is a pet day in the garden. , brought to his daughter by a giraffe named Telescope, the giraffe puts his neck through the window in the second floor room, and then the children, sitting on the giraffe ‘s neck, howl through the streets to the zoo.
When Bruno’s first day in kindergarten finally arrives, he says that everything was fine, but very differently than his sister. And immediately even the boy demands that now Jete starts telling him about his school – because it is so interesting to live in stories.
