Before long, Peter and Jennie become close friends. She is a tabby cat with tiger stripes and she says that her name is Jennie, and she rescued him from the street. When Peter wakes up, he discovers that he is lying on a cozy bed, but he is still a cat. He tries to find a place to stay, but a big cat which regards that place as his territory bullies him, attacks him, and injures him. Peter discovers that he can be stepped upon by people on the sidewalk, crushed by vehicles on the road or bullied by other cats and sometimes dogs. Peter suddenly finds himself on the street and he discovers that life on the street, as a cat, is hard. His nanny is shocked when she sees a cat in the bed and she throws him out. When he wakes up, he discovers that he has been transformed into a cat. Peter crosses the road to pick up a beautiful kitten. What happens then? A beautiful book called ‘ Jennie‘ happens. Paul Gallico wonders what will happen, if instead of something dark and bleak like a giant bug, a human being gets transformed into something adorable, like a cat. In contrast, Paul Gallico seems to have been a happy person. Kafka seems to have been an intense, serious person, and his imagination seems to have flown into dark alleys. What happens to him and how he handles that transformation forms the rest of the story. In Franz Kafka’s ‘ Metamorphosis‘, a man gets up in the morning and discovers that he has been transformed into a giant bug. I finally decided a couple of days back that I should take it down from the bookshelf and give it the love it deserved. I got Paul Gallico’s ‘ Jennie‘ a few years back, because the story looked beautiful, but somehow never got around to reading it.
