‘This book would like to tell you
About rather many children’s souls,
Who in today’s world
Are tortured by poverty, danger and emptiness,
But (this book) would like to also clearly show you,
How much happiness friendships have to offer,
Which reflect in children’s eyes
And help to sooth worry.
To you, my friend of my youth,
Equipped with much virtue.
This book is given as a sign of my thanks.’
