'Nothing at All'
'Nothing at All' is the name of an orphaned puppy living
with his two brothers until two children come to adopt them.
Unfortunately, Nothing at All is left behind - not out of cruelty,
but because he is invisible! He is horribly lonely until he meets
a bird, Jackdaw, who says that he knows how to make the puppy
visible. Nothing at All doesn't think much of the bird at first, but
follows the instructions anyway, and after a little time, hard
work, and a lot of dizziness, the puppy becomes visible
and joins his brothers in their new family.
