Mitch’s Roadside Collection: The Right Whale Cast-Off

by Kazusa Kisaragi

illus. by Shinya Komatsu

Mitch loves to collect things for his “roadside collection”: shiny jewel-like beads, stripy stones and, lately, cast-off cicada skin. One day, he takes home a piece of bark that looks just like a right whale. He accidentally spills his tea on it – only for it to transform into a real (but very tiny) whale! Mitch tries hard to look after the whale, but it just gets sadder – can Mitch bring the whale what it really wants?
