Willy had a deer. He hadn’t had it forever. The deer had come to him not long ago. Willy had wondered whether the fact that it had come to him meant that it was his. Nevertheless, he thought to name the deer Marcel.
Most of the time Marcel was very obedient and seemed to follow almost exactly the "Rules of Good Behavior for a Pet." But imagine Willy's surprise when, one day, while deep in the forest, someone told him that Marcel had another name and that he belonged to that person! Who does Marcel really belong to (if he is only called Marcel)?
A beautifully illustrated story by beloved author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers that will make us think about whether there is really anything in the world that belongs to us. Is there?...
