Alexander Raskin's funny and cheerful stories are all true. Of course, they all happened to him when he was little. Well, maybe he made some of them up, just a little. His little daughter found it hard to believe that her father, as a child, had tamed a dog, hunted a tiger, and even once… bit a professor. That he, too, had once been late for school, made up all sorts of tall tales for teachers, and taken offense at the funny nicknames they gave him… But still, it's great that fathers aren't born adults and that, while they're little, they're so much like their children!
