The story shows that greed, wickedness and deceit will sooner or later be punished and selfless goodness rewarded.

And all thanks to the mysterious Beautiful Lady, whose gifts forever changed the fate of the heroes of the story…

Long, long ago, or maybe not so long ago…. Far, far away, or maybe quite near … in the well-known city of Cracow, dogs, cats, mice, and even people live together in great friendship. But one day, because of a dog called Thuggy and a cat called Gryzelda an unwritten law stipulating who gets what if something drops from a stall on the ground is violated. And so, a code is drawn up. It is supposed to apply to everybody. The animals entrust the sealed code to the mice for safekeeping. However, very soon everyone begins to interpret its provisions in one’s favor and in the end everybody starts bickering with everybody else. As a result, cat owners move to one part of the city, dog owners to another, and since nobody wants the mice, they hide in their holes…
