Short, easy read that doesn't end like you'd expect.
This seems like a classic children's story that will end with everyone becoming friends and being happy, but instead it takes an odd turn and leaves every character's "arc" incomplete. This is a text that paints a picture rather than telling a complete and satisfying story. It made me think a bit about our expectations of what a good story should be.
Language-wise, it's quite straightforward. Despite being written in 1921 there was no language or kanji that seemed too out of place. The events are also easy to follow, and it's only 5 pages (the whole actually thing fits on my 1080p monitor at the default zoom level) so I'd recommend it for lower-level learners who want to try an original text. Of course, it can still be interesting for people at any level!
