On a hot summer evening, Maria was crossing the park when two hooded men assaulted her, and raped her. She was a strong girl, and with the support of her loving parents, she recovered. One month later, she discovered she was pregnant. She asked her mother: should I keep it?

From its hiding place under the bed, the black tomcat saw without being seen how the father abused his little daughter. The girl grew into a withdrawn youth. She was friendless, except for the black tomcat, which to everyone's wonder, followed her everywhere she went – the two were inseparable.

Tom’s father was ill. Every Monday, Tom visited his father in the city, and each time the old man opened the creaking door, and smiling, welcomed him in. Today Tom brought his father a large gift. He knocked at the door, but his father did not answer. Tom's heart sank.
