Two narrators tell the same story from opposing points of view: first, a girl "rescues" a beast (a lemur) in the woods and brings it home; next, the lemur is "ambushed" by a beast (the girl), who takes it back to her "secret lair." This amusing lesson on perspective is illustrated with equally amusing cartoony illustrations; the lemur's eyes are especially expressive.
