PDF icon The Spell of Smell ENG (excerpt)

That day Anestis the badger woke up feeling blue. He stood up in front of the mirror and shook his head. "Good morning Anestis; another lonely day just started," he muttered. He had a sudden thought: "Since no one wants me because I am a badger, I will transform myself into another animal." That's when he met Eva the badger. "How did you find me?" he asked her. "The smell led me to you, you smell incredible but I guess you already know that," she answered him and Anestis blushed red like a tomato.
