Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid.
Sasha is embarrassed to be the only mouse with a black circle around his eye. He obsesses about this problem until a bigger one comes up: a cat threatens his large mouse family. Sasha bravely slips a collar and bell around the cat's neck and is hailed as a hero (and black eye circles become all the rage). Slightly garish illustrations accompany this cat-and-mouse tale, which ends abruptly.
