MISTER SHTROTZO - FAIRY TALE - DAJANA DIVERNO

Many, many years ago, a young painter Armando lived in a beautiful city who had a cat named Shtrotzo. And don't, dear children, think that cat got that name by accident. Namely, Shtrotzo used to drive his nails while his owner was petting him, and that hurt like a slingshot. That's how it got its name - after the slingshot for children
The painter Armando inherited a lot of money from his aunt Barbara, so for a while he could live quite peacefully, dedicated to what he loved to do the most - to paint beautiful, artistic paintings.
However, those were very difficult times for artists at that time. Well, many artists failed to sell their paintings and thus survive. Painter Armando realized that he would have to urgently do something about it - organize a big auction of his paintings or do something more lucrative or, worst of all, move from a beautiful small apartment on the third floor of the main street to a room with a dusty, ordinary attic. In that way, he would be far from the city bustle, artistic circles and he would not be appreciated among elite artists.
But the legacy of aunt Barbara was being spent more and more. The painter Armando was immensely sad about that fact.
The young painter talked more and more about it to his pet - the cat Shtrotzo, who was a lazy, fat cat and who did not like the idea of moving to the dusty attic on the outskirts of the city.
So the cat Shtrotzo occasionally talked about the problems that the painter Armando has with his great friends, the birds that lived in the square of the city center and which were called: Ricco and Verdo.
