The gifts of the sea king - Xenia Kalogeropoulou

"What are you thinking?" Mate asked her.
"Nothing, nothing," she replied.
But her mind kept going to a song
that she had heard when she was little. A song
that sailors and fishermen used to say in the past
to bring them luck and good fishing.

Mate and Martha spent their time peacefully
and simply in their hut on the red rock
until the moment when Martha asked the king
of the sea, Achtheris, to give her
a cow. Since then everything has changed, and the humble
Their everyday life turned into a prosperous one
life. But where do Martha's desires end?
When will she have enough to feel happy?

Xenia Kalogeropoulou chooses a fairy tale from Finland
about greed and the value of simplicity and Renia Metallinou brings it to life
with a wonderful illustration.
