Book 1: Sara Reads Juha’s Anecdotes

In this book, we learn that Sara loves to borrow books from the library to read on the weekend. Her mother asks her if she has ever read “Juha’s Anecdotes,” and when she finds out that Sara has not read it, she tells her that it is about an imaginary character named Juha who tells stories about his life that are smart and funny. Sara decides to borrow the book from the library. She reads a story in which Juha rides his donkey from Iraq to the Levant. He arrives after his long journey and goes to sleep. When he wakes up, his donkey is gone. After looking for him, Juha concludes that the donkey is lost and that it’s a good thing that Juha was asleep, for if he’d been with the donkey, he too would have been lost.
