Creatures on the ceiling
by Nabiha Mheidly
Description
Karim's family is poor, but the little boy is nevertheless happy: every evening, as soon as he
contemplates the ceiling of the back of his bed, the spots of humidity come alive and the
adventures begin. To the hungry cow, he finds a patch of green grass... and it is surely she who
sends him, in thanks, the glass of milk in the morning!
One evening - surprise! - all his friends have disappeared... His father comes to ask him if he
likes the new paint. That evening, Karim turns around in all directions without being able to
sleep. But the next day, he equips himself with a notebook and a pencil and begins to tell the
adventures of his friends. It will be the start of a long career...
