Do not press that button

The button was there. Maybe since one hour.

Maybe since one day. Maybe since ever.

A group of friends find themselves in front of a very strange button. While Fox, Squirrell and Rabbit are curious and would love to press it, a discussion starts as Bear, Owl and Hen are absolutely against it: what would pressing it lead to? Maybe it’s the button of distruction… But what if it’s the button of good things, indeed? At the end it’s just a button…But pressing it could be too dangerous…

While the discussion develops in the group, the reader is guided page by page through funny, bizarre assumptions and beautiful colours until at the very end…someone PRESSES THE BUTTON and..the end will bring surprise and laughs.
