La extrana sorpresa

Description

Once upon a time there was an old woman who had a visitor every night. And he always offered his good friend a neat banquet, without much pompadour. They both enjoyed the company. The owl hooted and the cat slept. But that night, at the agreed time, the visitor arrived and found nothing! The candle was out, the distaff was empty, and in the rocking chair no one was rocking. Neither the owl hooted, nor the cat slept.
