In this engaging story about friendship, children meet Poton, a particularly grouchy and solitary alley cat. One day, after a very large and satisfying meal, Poton unwittingly takes a nap on a duck egg. Upon waking, he discovers that the newly hatched duckling has taken him for his mother, and though Poton wants nothing to do with the newborn, all of his attempts to abandon him are in vain. What good can come of this unlikely (and one-sided) friendship?
